I went to you tube today to see what Richie Havens was well known for. The first selection was Here Comes the Sun.

I love that song. But I don't favor his version. I favor the Beatles and Paul Simon versions.

I wish I knew more about Havens and what he was known for as his top song.

Kinda scary for me personally. Only 66 now, but I wonder more, every day. Thankful to wake up. Always concerned for my wife, our son's, and those five little people who make every day more rewarding.

It is sad to watch all of the people most of us have admired for so long, slipping away.
But then.
Sad to say. That's Life!
We're only here for a short time. Make the best of every day.
Hug your children, and tell them YOU LOVE THEM.
