Unfortunately, I was only born in October of 1969; too late to attend the original. As luck would have it, a friend of mine who was a hippie and lived @ height ashbury back in "67," decided to take me to the original Woodstock site a week or so before my 40th B-day this past year.

When we got there, I had walked around the site but could not get in the museum. It was closed. My friend and I started a conversation with a man who I could see was an old hippie and it turns out that he belonged to the Hog farm back in the day. Till this day he keeps in touch with his friend Wavy Gravy. The man who we spoke to is Duke and he showed us a blown up picture of the festival and pointed out where he was in that photo. He left the Hog farm in 1969 due to being offered a job on the Dairy farm while at the festival. Duke said he never went back after that.

That's my Woodstock story. As far as these Woodstock reunions; there will never ever be another Festival like the original. You just can't do it all over again, exactly.
