Richie Havens: From Woodstock to Massillon
Excerpts:
It's a story he has told countless times. But Richie Havens brightens when asked about his experience as the very first performer to take the stage at the historic Woodstock festival.
"I was so afraid to go on first. I didn't know what to do," he recalls about Aug. 15, 1969.
On Thursday, Havens, 67, will appear in concert at the Massillon Museum as part of the museum's Rhythms series.
