Story at Bloomberg
I don't know how many times I saw his performance at Woodstock in the film/archive footage, but it still amazes me how at home he was in front of an audience, whether in a small coffee shop or in front of 1/2 million...
I also heard him play on a radio show just about a year or two ago...he still totally had it, and could improvise with ease.
I am very sad. They don't make 'em like him anymore it seems...

Not even duct tape can fix stupid. But it can muffle the noise.
