I'll give you a hint. It rhymes with "itchy mavens".

He has long guitar pickin' finger nails.
...and used to use mostly his thumb on the finger board or neck of the guitar.
(I guess he played mostly bar cords...)

Some trivia...
I knew a girl in college who said she was conceived at Woodstock.
...shortly after "Itchy Mavens" performed...

Her father is a very close friend of his. While she was
growing up, he was over their house often. They'd all get
a little high and play songs while sitting around the
living room taking turns on the tom-tom drum.

This girl from college, a freshman named Emily, had a bunch
of nice stories about the dude. She was rather flakey and
spacey without the use of pot. (Possibly a good candidate
for why parents should not smoke pot.) I could never tell
if the stories were out of her imagination or what. She
seemed to know a lot about him. I had never even heard of
him at the time. (Knew a few of his songs but not his
name.) She was more into dance type of music. A lot of
the cool stuff about him probably flew right over her
head...

Anyhow, she used to refer to him as my Uncle "Itchy" (insert real first name).
If it wasn't for her constant blabbering about him, I'm not
sure how long it would have taken for me to know about him.

I dig his performance in the Woodstock movie.
Occasionally it runs on PBS.

Freedomah, freedomah... I can hear it in my head.

I bet he's an interesting dude. I love to listen to him
talk. I remember a few radio interviews he did maybe ten
years ago to promote something of his. Perhaps his art work.
He's got a real cool, deepish voice.
A Peaceful voice.

Sorta makes me feel relaxed just thinking about it.

Maybe I'll try to get another hour of sleep now...

As you can see I'm just babbling now.
Much the way Emily would. Her stories never made much sense either...

They just were sorta "there".
