1969 - I was 12 years old, the Griswold Family Vacation voted to stop the station wagon near Bethel. Looking for a geological dig site, we couldn't figure how to get gems out of a wood stock. It wasn't until we got home, across the river in Poughkeepsie NY, that I learned of the peace, joy, and music shared during those first three days.
1994 - I broke away from my Pharmacy job and motorcycled to Saugerties hoping to catch the vibes. The bike broke down outside town and I hiked it to the bus center to jump it started. Nice folks there. Then it hit me as it started to rain...Man! I gotta get me some of this stuff. Nice music...good people...and joy felt immencely.
1999 - Hooked up once more with friends in Rome. This time doing it right. Yes, got me some of that 'Woodstock Rain' before it even hit the ground. After 30 years the dream is reality. 30 samples are purified and freely distributed thanks to my career choice. Friends for life, purified by those rains that fell in those days. Hot tunes, Cool friends, Good times celebrated in the Peace, Joy, and Music of those three days.
I was the one who turned in the panorama scene 'When we are together, it's awesome' to the free website after the concert.
2009 - I'm 52, and stoked to attend...I got the days off from my pharmacist gig, 8 months before I even heard of the plan to do Woodstock again...this is carma, fate, destiny. SO PLEASE...hook me up with one or two free tickets so I can live out my reality and fulfill my dream to return to Woodstock. Only you can bring me 'back to the garden'.
