    So where’d you find that Richie Havens track? I’d about given up on ever hearing it again as my turntable long ago left this mortal coil.

    I’d remembered it a tad less plodding, and the instrumentation sure fixes it in a certain time, but Richie’s voice makes it all worthwhile. Thanks Brian for digging that up, wherever you found it.
