NOW thats how you open woodstock!
He really does not need anyone (band etc.) beyond his guitar ---
Right hand= FREEDOM
Left hand = DISCIPLINE
groove is his own.

Great song. Stuff like this from like 1956 til 1979 is the only music I'm sure will still be around 100 years from now. Every generation loves this stuff. Timeless and Ageless music.

Folksingers in 1969 and now adopt the clothes of working people. In 1969 he was wearing african derived styles and today "rich-robed Moorish" fashions.
