Wow, your're in Westport, I have a bunch of family out that way.

Are you gonna go see Richie?

Nah,I can't go Jeff. Got music practice and my boy has basketball clinic that day. Sure would be cool though. I grew up in Hoquiam,moved to Kitsap County for 25 years,then moved my family back out here to Westport almost 4 years ago. Very possible I either know or work with some of your family. It's a small community.I work at the Westport Shipyard where we build mega-yachts.

We can't go either, Grandson's are here for three days.

Shipyards, oh yes, you know some of them. By the way, if you should ever have a run in with the Aberdeen City jailer, don't use my name, isn't lilkely to carry much weight with my brother in law.

I heard his famous Woodstock song Freedom on the radio the other day and thought how cool it was that Guild is still able to capitalize on that moment 40 years later.

Caught Ritchie Havens about two years ago in Kent Ohio.... GREAT show!! Extremely energetic player of Guilds, even though he is in his 60's. I recall him wailing on one tune, breaking a string about half way through, finishing it, then grabing another Guild in waiting to complete the set. You will not be disappointed....Jim K
