and it will be held this weekend, August 11, 12, and 13. This has become
something of a tradition at AWT and we do it every August now. I have 27½ hours of the 36 hours of music recorded that weekend (the whole concert except
three songs was recorded directly from the soundboard), that is 75%, or ¾ of
the concert! I will play it this weekend over the three days in its
historical order.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;">I should mention here the <i>Back to the Garden</i> project. In 2019, being the 50th Anniversary of the
festival, Woodstock Producer/Promoter, Michael Lang (no relation to Ashra),
decided to release all 36 hours of concert recordings made at the soundboard
that weekend. This was a very
limited-edition release with a price tag in the thousands. I was willing to pay it (fueled by my own
love and obsession for this concert, not just for AWT) but there were just no
copies to be had. They went on sale and
sold out before I learned about them (a couple of days later). I hope to have them sometime in the next few
years. This year I continue as I have in
the past, with portions from the board along with other portions from other
sources (bootleg) of varying quality.<br />
<br />
If you visit <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/A%20Womans%20Touch/88/165/24" target="_blank"><span style="color: #e06666; text-decoration-line: none;">AWT</span></a> this
week, you will see it slowly transform into the concert grounds as the
stage and other facilities take shape. In the past couple of years, I
have begun to further capture the feel by controlling the time of day
(day/night) on the sim to match what it was during that point of the concert we
experience at AWT. I have also included things like sunny vs. overcast,
rain, and other things. Through the weekend, you will see the festival
grounds at AWT go from pristine to a disaster area. This is truly as close as we could get to
attending the actual 1969 event.<br />
<br />
If you missed the original in 1969, this might just be your best chance to
experience the original Woodstock in cyberspace with us at AWT. A number
of people who attended in the past have said that in a way they now felt like
they were there. Below, you will not only find the schedule and times,
but I have printed the entire setlists for this weekend. Furthermore, if
you scroll past the massive setlist, you will find interesting moments you
will hear this weekend, like when the Grateful Dead blow their amplifiers or Pete
Townsend of the Who hits Abbie Hoffman over the head with his guitar.
Each event is explained and an approximate time, to the minute, that you will
hear it this weekend.</span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;">In the past, I have only had a little of the Keef Hartley Band set, mostly almost unlistenable bootleg. This year (2022), I'm happy to report that I have the entire set and it is of decent quality.</span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;">
So pack up your car or micro-bus. Drive as far as you can down the SL
Thruway, then abandon your car and hike the rest of the way to <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/A%20Womans%20Touch/88/165/24" target="_blank"><span style="color: #e06666; text-decoration-line: none;">a Woman’s
Touch</span></a>. When you get here, the chain link fence is down on the southwest side of the concert field. It’s a free concert. Roll out your
sleeping bag and enjoy the Woodstock Music and Arts Fair, an Aquarian
Exposition: 3 Days of Peace & Music.<br />

<i>The Jefferson Airplane was supposed to end things on Saturday as the last
act of the night but things fell so horribly far behind that they didn't take
the stage until the sun was up Sunday morning. Many purists would say
that they are a Saturday act and after their set, there was a several-hour
break in the music. I figured if they played in daylight on Sunday, I'll
classify them as the first Sunday band.</i><br />

<b><u>Notable Incidents You Will Hear This Weekend</u></b><u> (All times
are in SL time this weekend.) </u><br />
<br />
<b>Arlo Guthrie’s Microphone</b> (Friday, 7:42 PM)<br />
Arlo Guthrie starts off his set with <i>Coming Into Los Angeles</i> but
there is just one problem. You cannot hear the vocals. There was
trouble with his microphone, and it wasn’t until about a minute into his first
song that the engineers fixed the problem. You can barely hear him
singing, probably through the microphone set up to pick up his guitar.
Despite the problem, this song did make the movie and the first soundtrack
album, released in 1970. The song was begun in the middle, after the solo,
going into the refrain. Thus, the flawed part was edited out and only the
second half of the song is used. We will hear it in its entirety, failure,
and all.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #130101; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span></span></p>

protest of the war in Vietnam, but that sentiment hung heavily in the air.</span><span style="color: #130101; font-family: arial;"> </span><span style="color: #130101; font-family: arial;">Who can forget Country Joe’s (see below) “</span><i style="color: #130101; font-family: arial;">I
don't know how you expect to ever stop the war if you can't sing any better
than that?</i><span style="color: #130101; font-family: arial;">”</span><span style="color: #130101; font-family: arial;"> </span><span style="color: #130101; font-family: arial;">When things started to
fall apart Saturday morning with food shortages and medical needs, help came
from a very strange source, the United States Army!</span><span style="color: #130101; font-family: arial;"> </span><span style="color: #130101; font-family: arial;">Realizing the great potential for a negative
reaction from the crowd, John Morris took to the stage and tried to take some
control over the situation.</span><span style="color: #130101; font-family: arial;"> </span><span style="color: #130101; font-family: arial;">In John’s
own words upon seeing the green helicopters:</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><i><span style="color: #130101; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: arial;">“You could see people start to
look up … and all I said was, 'Ladies and gentlemen, the United States Army —'
and you could feel it and you could hear it, the tension — 'Medical Corps.' And
the crowd broke into a cheer that was just fantastic. And just about then you
could see the red crosses on the side.”</span></span></i></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #130101; font-family: arial;">He
whipped up support for the Army and had the crowd cheering them. “</span><i style="color: #130101; font-family: arial;">They are with us! They are here to give us a hand and help us,
and for that they deserve it.”</i></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #130101; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: arial;">
<br />
<b>Country Joe McDonald Stalls for Time</b> (Saturday, 10:19 AM)<br />
Joe McDonald was the frontman for the band, Country Joe and the Fish.
After Quill finished their set, Santana was not ready to take the stage for
theirs. McDonald was reluctantly recruited to go on stage and do a few
songs solo to placate the crowd. He was not prepared to go on alone, so
he used the excuse that he had no guitar. One was located backstage, so
he then used the excuse that he had no guitar strap. A piece of rope was
tied to the guitar, and he had run out of excuses. Joe McDonald
improvised a solo set and it included one of the most memorable moments of the
weekend. He got the crowd worked up. “Give me an F… Give me a
U… Give me a C… Give me a K… What’s that spell? [FUCK] What’s that
spell? [FUCK]…<br />
<br />
Yeah, c’mon on all you big strong men,<br />
Uncle Sam needs your help again.<br />
He’s got himself in a terrible jam<br />
way down yonder in Vietnam,<br />
so put down your books and pick up a gun.<br />
We’re gonna have a whole lot of fun.<br />
And it’s 1, 2, 3, what’re we fighting for?<br />
Don’t ask me, I don’t give a damn;<br />
next stop is Vietnam.<br />
<br />

Canned Heat took the stage and lead singer, Bob Hite, after the first song
announced to the crowd, “…There is only one thing I wish, I sure gotta
pee!” It was a direct reference to the lack of adequate sanitary
facilities at the concert. It should also be noted that just before
introducing them, Chip Monck, the emcee, remarked about how well they were
holding up with the help of the US Army.<b> </b><br />

<b>The Grateful Dead are Delayed</b> (Saturday, 3:47 PM)</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="color: #130101;">The Grateful Dead were supposed to take the stage after Mountain. Well,
several things kept that from happening. First, the switching between bands was
supposed to be facilitated by a turntable-type stage. While one band was
on stage (in front), they could be setting up the next one backstage. The
mechanism failed and they had to manually set up the Grateful Dead’s stage.
Furthermore, the stage had flooded due to rain, and this was causing all sorts
of grounding issues and there were safety concerns.</span><span style="color: #130101;"> </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"></span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMhOObTKP69UOBuFzxrD7WXHweewtqkK6ah-S_EMwrMSEXiDQSfnp-mKTFAxMz_bHGp7C80bGfDIR0zGAjdqoHPSIlnKrripAuCxHI901OF3_iY442x_O9oI5PzR7fchgmr8oSOq54nAy8/s431/Grateful+Dead+Woodstock.png" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="269" data-original-width="431" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMhOObTKP69UOBuFzxrD7WXHweewtqkK6ah-S_EMwrMSEXiDQSfnp-mKTFAxMz_bHGp7C80bGfDIR0zGAjdqoHPSIlnKrripAuCxHI901OF3_iY442x_O9oI5PzR7fchgmr8oSOq54nAy8/s16000/Grateful+Dead+Woodstock.png" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The Dead at Woodstock</span></td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><span style="color: #130101; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The Grateful Dead End Early</span></b><span style="color: #130101; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> (Saturday, 5:06 PM)<br />
The fear about the water and electrical systems may have been well-founded. As
they ended a monster rendition (over 37 minutes long) of <i>Turn on Your
Love Light</i>, a loud bang can be heard as they blew their stage amplifiers
and had to end their set early.<b> </b><br />
<br />
<b>Abbie Hoffman Crashes the Stage on the Who</b> (Saturday, 8:28 PM)<br />
Abbie Hoffman was a notable 60’s activist and radical who was always
controversial and often in trouble with the law. Between Sly and the
Family Stone and the Who, Hoffman had addressed the “politics of the situation”
with an angry rant (Saturday, 7:55 PM) about the plight of John Sinclair,
manager of Detroit rock band, the MC5. Sinclair was serving a ten-year
prison term in Michigan for possessing two joints of marijuana. (I wrote
about the MC5 and John Sinclair, the whole mess, </span><a href="http://smowadeng.blogspot.com/2018/05/the-mc5.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #e06666; text-decoration-line: none;">here</span></a><span style="color: #130101; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">.)
After the Who was part of the way through their set and tuning their
instruments after <i>Pinball Wizard</i>, Hoffman crashed the stage, taking
the microphone from Roger Daltry. He began another stoned rant about
Sinclair saying, “I think this is a pile of shit while John Sinclair rots in
prison.” Pete Townsend then attacked Hoffman, hitting him over the head
with his guitar. Townsend can plainly be heard saying, “Fuck! Off my
fucking stage!” The Who then went on to <i>Do You Think It's Alright</i>.<b> </b><br />
<br />
<b>Breakfast in Bed for 400,000</b> (Sunday, 12:10 AM)<br />
Sunday morning, after Jefferson Airplane had finished their set, Hog Farm
leader, Wavy Gravy (Hugh Romney), took to the stage and addressed the
crowd. “What we have in mind is breakfast in bed for 400,000.”</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="color: #130101; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">

<b>Max Yasgur Addresses the Crowd</b> (Sunday, 12:14 AM)<br />
When the original location for the festival fell through, weeks before the
concert, Max Yasgur, a local dairy farmer, made his 600-acre farm
available. It was only fitting that he got his few minutes of fame and
got to address the crowd. An older-looking man, who looked very out of
place, wearing black plastic-rimmed glasses, took the stage. There was no
less hip person in the place, yet he sang the praises of the concert
attendees. It was another wonderful Woodstock moment. Joe Cocker
took the stage after him and dedicated his first song to him. “And we’re going
to do this um this little number to start off with, the title suggests that
farming guy who just came out, did you see that nice little bloke…"</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: arial;"></span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihwAgQU_DAE72u4el0JdJBib1sO2wSnqZDQjLFbzNDLX4xp0Gj_FnJrdWOfw55tIL5fYqCEO422d2sCXJG77v-WsJX2csusMAHOLxKEUcvIQWYLI4TW0ARBUnxkT_DEQa9KgmuN2fiT1g-/s141/MaxYasgur.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="141" data-original-width="121" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihwAgQU_DAE72u4el0JdJBib1sO2wSnqZDQjLFbzNDLX4xp0Gj_FnJrdWOfw55tIL5fYqCEO422d2sCXJG77v-WsJX2csusMAHOLxKEUcvIQWYLI4TW0ARBUnxkT_DEQa9KgmuN2fiT1g-/s16000/MaxYasgur.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Max Yasgur</td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #130101; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: arial;">Yasgur would later be
immortalized in Joni Mitchell’s classic song, made famous by CSNY, <i>Woodstock</i>.<br />
<br />
I came upon a child of God,<br />
He was walking along the road<br />
And I asked him, "Where are you going?"<br />
And this he told me...<br />
<br />
I'm going on down to <b>Yasgur's</b> Farm,<br />
I'm gonna join in a rock and roll band.<br />
I'm gonna camp out on the land.<br />
I'm gonna get my soul free.<br />
<br />
<b>Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young are Scared Shitless</b> (Sunday, 6:06
PM)<br />
Although all four were seasoned concert performers with other bands, this was
only the second time that CSNY had played in front of people and the crowd
happened to be 400,000. After finishing their opening number, <i>Suite:
Judy Blue Eyes</i>, Stephen Stills admits, “Thank you, we needed that.
This is the second time we've ever played in front of people, man. We're scared
shitless."<br />
<br />
<b>Emcee, Chip Monck, Closes the Festival</b> (Sunday, 9:08 PM)<br />
Chip Monck was the voice of Woodstock. His voice filled the void between
sets with announcements, messages, directions, and warnings about the brown
acid. He worked relentlessly all three days. The thing is that he
was hired to build and operate the stage lighting for the event. After he
designed and built it, the location of the concert changed, and the stage was
built to different specifications to accommodate the new space. The new
roof over the stage was not compatible with the lighting design Monck had
worked ten weeks building. There was no stage lighting at
Woodstock. Only follow spots, operated from those towers that ironically
Monck kept warning people about all weekend long.<br />
<br />
Michael Lang realized at the last minute that he never hired an emcee, but
there was Chip Monck, a man he had already paid $7000 and who no longer had a
function. Thus, Woodstock became the only concert in history to have the lighting
director supplying some of the most famous quotes.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #130101; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-outline-level: 3;"><b><span style="color: #130101; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: arial;">What

<span style="color: #130101; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: arial;">There
are numerous references to the Hog Farm, such as when a small child was lost
and stage manager, John Morris, instructs the child, wherever he may be, to go
up the hill and find a hog farmer. The “farmer” would reunite him with
his mother, interestingly named “Sunshine.” (You can hear this incident Friday
night during our set at about 8:25 PM SL time.) So, who are these hog
farmers?</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #130101; line-height: 107%;"></span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinP6ErmbBcR9OapEazNau8Ydeoq5XYJtrG8nizAcNkeH5y0JC8cnod6WBF9SYLkBzh9XM8ajutq5dsW1LCUnBwnQQx96vrGW1LRUfhFPdhNpx8amPmoNfnFORjgayxBCQWLhrW_uA7dhva/s412/hog-farm.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="273" data-original-width="412" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinP6ErmbBcR9OapEazNau8Ydeoq5XYJtrG8nizAcNkeH5y0JC8cnod6WBF9SYLkBzh9XM8ajutq5dsW1LCUnBwnQQx96vrGW1LRUfhFPdhNpx8amPmoNfnFORjgayxBCQWLhrW_uA7dhva/s16000/hog-farm.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span face=""Calibri",sans-serif" style="color: #130101; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Hog Farmers ride their psychedelic bus at Woodstock back in 1969</span></td></tr></tbody></table><span style="color: #130101; line-height: 107%;"><br /><span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The Hog Farm was a west coast hippie commune that was recruited to help
with running the festival. It would obviously take a lot of people to
work the event and that was where the Hog Farm came in. They set up a lot
of the grounds that were not part of the stage and ran a “Free Kitchen” to feed
festival-goers. They were also charged with the task of providing
security, which hit them completely by surprise. They decided on a
friendly approach and dubbed themselves the “Please Force.” Their
approach to security was to ask people nicely, “Please don’t do that.”<br />
<br />
The picture above shows some of the hog farmers arriving in their psychedelic
school bus. Looking at the front grill, it seems to be late a 1930s or
early 1940s model. Today it might be considered a valuable antique, but
in 1969 it was just a 25-30-year-old clunker. In many ways, the Hog Farm
bus has become a Woodstock icon.<br />
<br />
Their leader was a man named “Hugh Romney,” who is better known as “Wavy
Gravy.” His part in the concert, and his subsequent appearance in the
Woodstock film, made him something of a hippie celebrity, so much so that Ben
& Jerry even named an Ice Cream flavor after him. He did not get his
famous nickname until shortly after the Woodstock concert. The moniker
was given to him by the one and only B.B. King at a concert later that year.</span></span></span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #130101; line-height: 107%;"><span style="line-height: 107%;"></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsNr0DV3xaLCpOkLPbGR0-TsPoblqHFXeDVvGvaF5vOSj8qwHvZZZlvO034XZKf_JKIDQxSrpMNTUk3kPxdbfRw48SbjllEQiIxKI6IjNgpnpOhVMuGz6G0wFq-3a4U5rZx4c7_EuWqZbR/s175/BenJerry.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="175" data-original-width="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsNr0DV3xaLCpOkLPbGR0-TsPoblqHFXeDVvGvaF5vOSj8qwHvZZZlvO034XZKf_JKIDQxSrpMNTUk3kPxdbfRw48SbjllEQiIxKI6IjNgpnpOhVMuGz6G0wFq-3a4U5rZx4c7_EuWqZbR/s16000/BenJerry.jpg" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span><p></p><div style="text-align: left;"></div>Sue Mowadenghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13282060551744449456noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2985757637621409805.post-85891027498455563542022-08-08T10:38:00.000-07:002022-08-08T10:38:06.396-07:00Woodstock at AWT (2022) This Weekend<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #130101;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhW4nyqrYbFc9qEokOBCR8JAkNYlOzI12SJkhQJSbpmcHfLVOI4DQ5t9YS0b_O9MuhM66UI1JrU7UrxM2tn_AyhZ7QMhaHF6SN8V4FKqRjHUwV5TqI-hAze4CpTJPG9ac2HVdEAUlZIBi6Z/s568/woodstock.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Woodstock" border="0" data-original-height="568" data-original-width="395" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhW4nyqrYbFc9qEokOBCR8JAkNYlOzI12SJkhQJSbpmcHfLVOI4DQ5t9YS0b_O9MuhM66UI1JrU7UrxM2tn_AyhZ7QMhaHF6SN8V4FKqRjHUwV5TqI-hAze4CpTJPG9ac2HVdEAUlZIBi6Z/s16000/woodstock.jpg" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #130101;"><span style="font-family: arial;">It is time for Woodstock at AWT
and it will be held this weekend, August 12, 13, and 14. This has become
something of a tradition at AWT and we do it every August now. I have 27½ hours of the 36 hours of music recorded that weekend (the whole concert except
three songs was recorded directly from the soundboard), that is 75%, or ¾ of
the concert! I will play it this weekend over the three days in its
historical order.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;">I should mention here the <i>Back to the Garden</i> project. In 2019, being the 50th Anniversary of the
festival, Woodstock Producer/Promoter, Michael Lang (no relation to Ashra),
decided to release all 36 hours of concert recordings made at the soundboard
that weekend. This was a very
limited-edition release with a price tag in the thousands. I was willing to pay it (fueled by my own
love and obsession for this concert, not just for AWT) but there were just no
copies to be had. They went on sale and
sold out before I learned about them (a couple of days later). I hope to have them sometime in the next few
years. This year I continue as I have in
the past, with portions from the board along with other portions from other
sources (bootleg) of varying quality.<br />
<br />
If you visit <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/A%20Womans%20Touch/88/165/24" target="_blank"><span style="color: #e06666; text-decoration-line: none;">AWT</span></a> this
week, you will see it slowly transform into the concert grounds as the
stage and other facilities take shape. In the past couple of years, I
have begun to further capture the feel by controlling the time of day
(day/night) on the sim to match what it was during that point of the concert we
experience at AWT. I have also included things like sunny vs. overcast,
rain, and other things. Through the weekend, you will see the festival
grounds at AWT go from pristine to a disaster area. This is truly as close as we could get to
attending the actual 1969 event.<br />
<br />
If you missed the original in 1969, this might just be your best chance to
experience the original Woodstock in cyberspace with us at AWT. A number
of people who attended in the past have said that in a way they now felt like
they were there. Below, you will not only find the schedule and times,
but I have printed the entire setlists for this weekend. Furthermore, if
you scroll past the massive setlist, you will find interesting moments you
will hear this weekend, like when the Grateful Dead blow their amplifiers or Pete
Townsend of the Who hits Abbie Hoffman over the head with his guitar.
Each event is explained and an approximate time, to the minute, that you will
hear it this weekend.</span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;">In the past, I have only had a little of the Keef Hartley Band set, mostly almost unlistenable bootleg. This year (2022), I'm happy to report that I have the entire set and it is of decent quality.</span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;">
So pack up your car or micro-bus. Drive as far as you can down the SL
Thruway, then abandon your car and hike the rest of the way to <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/A%20Womans%20Touch/88/165/24" target="_blank"><span style="color: #e06666; text-decoration-line: none;">a Woman’s
Touch</span></a>. When you get here, the chain link fence is down on the southwest side of the concert field. It’s a free concert. Roll out your
sleeping bag and enjoy the Woodstock Music and Arts Fair, an Aquarian
Exposition: 3 Days of Peace & Music.<br />

<i>The Jefferson Airplane was supposed to end things on Saturday as the last
act of the night but things fell so horribly far behind that they didn't take
the stage until the sun was up Sunday morning. Many purists would say
that they are a Saturday act and after their set, there was a several-hour
break in the music. I figured if they played in daylight on Sunday, I'll
classify them as the first Sunday band.</i><br />

<b><u>Notable Incidents You Will Hear This Weekend</u></b><u> (All times
are in SL time this weekend.) </u><br />
<br />
<b>Arlo Guthrie’s Microphone</b> (Friday, 7:42 PM)<br />
Arlo Guthrie starts off his set with <i>Coming Into Los Angeles</i> but
there is just one problem. You cannot hear the vocals. There was
trouble with his microphone, and it wasn’t until about a minute into his first
song that the engineers fixed the problem. You can barely hear him
singing, probably through the microphone set up to pick up his guitar.
Despite the problem, this song did make the movie and the first soundtrack
album, released in 1970. The song was begun in the middle, after the solo,
going into the refrain. Thus, the flawed part was edited out and only the
second half of the song is used. We will hear it in its entirety, failure,
and all.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #130101; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span></span></p>

protest of the war in Vietnam, but that sentiment hung heavily in the air.</span><span style="color: #130101; font-family: arial;"> </span><span style="color: #130101; font-family: arial;">Who can forget Country Joe’s (see below) “</span><i style="color: #130101; font-family: arial;">I

fall apart Saturday morning with food shortages and medical needs, help came
from a very strange source, the United States Army!</span><span style="color: #130101; font-family: arial;"> </span><span style="color: #130101; font-family: arial;">Realizing the great potential for a negative
reaction from the crowd, John Morris took to the stage and tried to take some
control over the situation.</span><span style="color: #130101; font-family: arial;"> </span><span style="color: #130101; font-family: arial;">In John’s
own words upon seeing the green helicopters:</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><i><span style="color: #130101; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: arial;">“You could see people start to
look up … and all I said was, 'Ladies and gentlemen, the United States Army —'
and you could feel it and you could hear it, the tension — 'Medical Corps.' And
the crowd broke into a cheer that was just fantastic. And just about then you
could see the red crosses on the side.”</span></span></i></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #130101; font-family: arial;">He
whipped up support for the Army and had the crowd cheering them. “</span><i style="color: #130101; font-family: arial;">They are with us! They are here to give us a hand and help us,
and for that they deserve it.”</i></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #130101; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: arial;">
<br />
<b>Country Joe McDonald Stalls for Time</b> (Saturday, 10:19 AM)<br />
Joe McDonald was the frontman for the band, Country Joe and the Fish.
After Quill finished their set, Santana was not ready to take the stage for
theirs. McDonald was reluctantly recruited to go on stage and do a few
songs solo to placate the crowd. He was not prepared to go on alone, so
he used the excuse that he had no guitar. One was located backstage, so
he then used the excuse that he had no guitar strap. A piece of rope was
tied to the guitar, and he had run out of excuses. Joe McDonald
improvised a solo set and it included one of the most memorable moments of the
weekend. He got the crowd worked up. “Give me an F… Give me a
U… Give me a C… Give me a K… What’s that spell? [FUCK] What’s that
spell? [FUCK]…<br />
<br />
Yeah, c’mon on all you big strong men,<br />
Uncle Sam needs your help again.<br />
He’s got himself in a terrible jam<br />
way down yonder in Vietnam,<br />
so put down your books and pick up a gun.<br />
We’re gonna have a whole lot of fun.<br />
And it’s 1, 2, 3, what’re we fighting for?<br />
Don’t ask me, I don’t give a damn;<br />
next stop is Vietnam.<br />
<br />
Partway through the song, he addresses the crowd. “Listen people, I don't know
how you expect to ever stop the war if you can't sing any better than that.
There's about 300,000 of you fuckers out there…"</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #130101; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"></span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDPYbrg1a3BPJeLDpMD12yE6fLJnHRRzlYEzkEWAWF5YKv-4u_KOyFX4alHFWoQdzNIE8abDr1YoRex-Tq3frbEywS7RHt1Z_MeKOnYgtnl_GId4MpWhKMKCMdvfsbVYLJaoaFtDudn4c0/s320/countryjoe.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="Joe McDonald" border="0" data-original-height="285" data-original-width="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDPYbrg1a3BPJeLDpMD12yE6fLJnHRRzlYEzkEWAWF5YKv-4u_KOyFX4alHFWoQdzNIE8abDr1YoRex-Tq3frbEywS7RHt1Z_MeKOnYgtnl_GId4MpWhKMKCMdvfsbVYLJaoaFtDudn4c0/s16000/countryjoe.jpg" /></a></td></tr></tbody></table><p></p><p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #130101;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Joe McDonald with a rope guitar strap, improvises and stalls for time<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #130101;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><span style="color: #130101; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Bob Hite of Canned Heat has to

1:27 PM)<br />
Canned Heat took the stage and lead singer, Bob Hite, after the first song
announced to the crowd, “…There is only one thing I wish, I sure gotta
pee!” It was a direct reference to the lack of adequate sanitary
facilities at the concert. It should also be noted that just before
introducing them, Chip Monck, the emcee, remarked about how well they were
holding up with the help of the US Army.<b> </b><br />
<br />
<b>The Grateful Dead are Delayed</b> (Saturday, 3:47 PM)</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="color: #130101;">The Grateful Dead were supposed to take the stage after Mountain. Well,
several things kept that from happening. First, the switching between bands was
supposed to be facilitated by a turntable-type stage. While one band was
on stage (in front), they could be setting up the next one backstage. The
mechanism failed and they had to manually set up the Grateful Dead’s stage.
Furthermore, the stage had flooded due to rain, and this was causing all sorts
of grounding issues and there were safety concerns.</span><span style="color: #130101;"> </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"></span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMhOObTKP69UOBuFzxrD7WXHweewtqkK6ah-S_EMwrMSEXiDQSfnp-mKTFAxMz_bHGp7C80bGfDIR0zGAjdqoHPSIlnKrripAuCxHI901OF3_iY442x_O9oI5PzR7fchgmr8oSOq54nAy8/s431/Grateful+Dead+Woodstock.png" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="269" data-original-width="431" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMhOObTKP69UOBuFzxrD7WXHweewtqkK6ah-S_EMwrMSEXiDQSfnp-mKTFAxMz_bHGp7C80bGfDIR0zGAjdqoHPSIlnKrripAuCxHI901OF3_iY442x_O9oI5PzR7fchgmr8oSOq54nAy8/s16000/Grateful+Dead+Woodstock.png" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The Dead at Woodstock</span></td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><span style="color: #130101; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The Grateful Dead End Early</span></b><span style="color: #130101; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> (Saturday, 5:06 PM)<br />
The fear about the water and electrical systems may have been well-founded. As
they ended a monster rendition (over 37 minutes long) of <i>Turn on Your
Love Light</i>, a loud bang can be heard as they blew their stage amplifiers
and had to end their set early.<b> </b><br />
<br />
<b>Abbie Hoffman Crashes the Stage on the Who</b> (Saturday, 8:28 PM)<br />
Abbie Hoffman was a notable 60’s activist and radical who was always
controversial and often in trouble with the law. Between Sly and the
Family Stone and the Who, Hoffman had addressed the “politics of the situation”
with an angry rant (Saturday, 7:55 PM) about the plight of John Sinclair,
manager of Detroit rock band, the MC5. Sinclair was serving a ten-year
prison term in Michigan for possessing two joints of marijuana. (I wrote
about the MC5 and John Sinclair, the whole mess, </span><a href="http://smowadeng.blogspot.com/2018/05/the-mc5.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #e06666; text-decoration-line: none;">here</span></a><span style="color: #130101; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">.)
After the Who was part of the way through their set and tuning their
instruments after <i>Pinball Wizard</i>, Hoffman crashed the stage, taking
the microphone from Roger Daltry. He began another stoned rant about
Sinclair saying, “I think this is a pile of shit while John Sinclair rots in
prison.” Pete Townsend then attacked Hoffman, hitting him over the head
with his guitar. Townsend can plainly be heard saying, “Fuck! Off my
fucking stage!” The Who then went on to <i>Do You Think It's Alright</i>.<b> </b><br />
<br />
<b>Breakfast in Bed for 400,000</b> (Sunday, 12:10 AM)<br />
Sunday morning, after Jefferson Airplane had finished their set, Hog Farm
leader, Wavy Gravy (Hugh Romney), took to the stage and addressed the
crowd. “What we have in mind is breakfast in bed for 400,000.”</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="color: #130101; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">
<br />
<b>Max Yasgur Addresses the Crowd</b> (Sunday, 12:14 AM)<br />
When the original location for the festival fell through, weeks before the
concert, Max Yasgur, a local dairy farmer, made his 600-acre farm
available. It was only fitting that he got his few minutes of fame and
got to address the crowd. An older-looking man, who looked very out of
place, wearing black plastic-rimmed glasses, took the stage. There was no
less hip person in the place, yet he sang the praises of the concert
attendees. It was another wonderful Woodstock moment. Joe Cocker

immortalized in Joni Mitchell’s classic song, made famous by CSNY, <i>Woodstock</i>.<br />
<br />
I came upon a child of God,<br />
He was walking along the road<br />
And I asked him, "Where are you going?"<br />
And this he told me...<br />
<br />
I'm going on down to <b>Yasgur's</b> Farm,<br />
I'm gonna join in a rock and roll band.<br />
I'm gonna camp out on the land.<br />
I'm gonna get my soul free.<br />
<br />
<b>Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young are Scared Shitless</b> (Sunday, 6:06
PM)<br />
Although all four were seasoned concert performers with other bands, this was
only the second time that CSNY had played in front of people and the crowd
happened to be 400,000. After finishing their opening number, <i>Suite:
Judy Blue Eyes</i>, Stephen Stills admits, “Thank you, we needed that.
This is the second time we've ever played in front of people, man. We're scared
shitless."<br />
<br />
<b>Emcee, Chip Monck, Closes the Festival</b> (Sunday, 9:08 PM)<br />
Chip Monck was the voice of Woodstock. His voice filled the void between
sets with announcements, messages, directions, and warnings about the brown
acid. He worked relentlessly all three days. The thing is that he
was hired to build and operate the stage lighting for the event. After he
designed and built it, the location of the concert changed, and the stage was
built to different specifications to accommodate the new space. The new
roof over the stage was not compatible with the lighting design Monck had
worked ten weeks building. There was no stage lighting at
Woodstock. Only follow spots, operated from those towers that ironically
Monck kept warning people about all weekend long.<br />
<br />
Michael Lang realized at the last minute that he never hired an emcee, but
there was Chip Monck, a man he had already paid $7000 and who no longer had a
function. Thus, Woodstock became the only concert in history to have the lighting
director supplying some of the most famous quotes.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #130101; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-outline-level: 3;"><b><span style="color: #130101; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: arial;">What

are numerous references to the Hog Farm, such as when a small child was lost
and stage manager, John Morris, instructs the child, wherever he may be, to go
up the hill and find a hog farmer. The “farmer” would reunite him with
his mother, interestingly named “Sunshine.” (You can hear this incident Friday
night during our set at about 8:25 PM SL time.) So, who are these hog
farmers?</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #130101; line-height: 107%;"></span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinP6ErmbBcR9OapEazNau8Ydeoq5XYJtrG8nizAcNkeH5y0JC8cnod6WBF9SYLkBzh9XM8ajutq5dsW1LCUnBwnQQx96vrGW1LRUfhFPdhNpx8amPmoNfnFORjgayxBCQWLhrW_uA7dhva/s412/hog-farm.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="273" data-original-width="412" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinP6ErmbBcR9OapEazNau8Ydeoq5XYJtrG8nizAcNkeH5y0JC8cnod6WBF9SYLkBzh9XM8ajutq5dsW1LCUnBwnQQx96vrGW1LRUfhFPdhNpx8amPmoNfnFORjgayxBCQWLhrW_uA7dhva/s16000/hog-farm.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span face=""Calibri",sans-serif" style="color: #130101; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Hog Farmers ride their psychedelic bus at Woodstock back in 1969</span></td></tr></tbody></table><span style="color: #130101; line-height: 107%;"><br /><span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The Hog Farm was a west coast hippie commune that was recruited to help
with running the festival. It would obviously take a lot of people to
work the event and that was where the Hog Farm came in. They set up a lot
of the grounds that were not part of the stage and ran a “Free Kitchen” to feed
festival-goers. They were also charged with the task of providing
security, which hit them completely by surprise. They decided on a
friendly approach and dubbed themselves the “Please Force.” Their
approach to security was to ask people nicely, “Please don’t do that.”<br />
<br />
The picture above shows some of the hog farmers arriving in their psychedelic
school bus. Looking at the front grill, it seems to be late a 1930s or
early 1940s model. Today it might be considered a valuable antique, but
in 1969 it was just a 25-30-year-old clunker. In many ways, the Hog Farm
bus has become a Woodstock icon.<br />
<br />
Their leader was a man named “Hugh Romney,” who is better known as “Wavy
Gravy.” His part in the concert, and his subsequent appearance in the
Woodstock film, made him something of a hippie celebrity, so much so that Ben
& Jerry even named an Ice Cream flavor after him. He did not get his
famous nickname until shortly after the Woodstock concert. The moniker
was given to him by the one and only B.B. King at a concert later that year.</span></span></span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #130101; line-height: 107%;"><span style="line-height: 107%;"></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsNr0DV3xaLCpOkLPbGR0-TsPoblqHFXeDVvGvaF5vOSj8qwHvZZZlvO034XZKf_JKIDQxSrpMNTUk3kPxdbfRw48SbjllEQiIxKI6IjNgpnpOhVMuGz6G0wFq-3a4U5rZx4c7_EuWqZbR/s175/BenJerry.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="175" data-original-width="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsNr0DV3xaLCpOkLPbGR0-TsPoblqHFXeDVvGvaF5vOSj8qwHvZZZlvO034XZKf_JKIDQxSrpMNTUk3kPxdbfRw48SbjllEQiIxKI6IjNgpnpOhVMuGz6G0wFq-3a4U5rZx4c7_EuWqZbR/s16000/BenJerry.jpg" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span><p></p><div style="text-align: left;"></div>Sue Mowadenghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13282060551744449456noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2985757637621409805.post-65860365999541194562022-01-03T19:46:00.005-08:002022-01-04T15:16:45.567-08:00Hail and Farewell 2021<p><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"></span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiTOi0ZBzdBGB8IV_Mm977HKK3q7zfIa-ECyR-K3vw1iv3_MwQtHnXllRg0DMj0aUGPjxPS1AK-hdMZ3TJ1u8axNx_oQgmcISpCyxGP0Wzyx98CdFR6V--Dsc-LUFiXyOe3fhzsnVA8zwV4D7zYFKcm8NGL2PBHbM-ubORO11WWo3ikfMVqT2QALzYTsQ=s500" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiTOi0ZBzdBGB8IV_Mm977HKK3q7zfIa-ECyR-K3vw1iv3_MwQtHnXllRg0DMj0aUGPjxPS1AK-hdMZ3TJ1u8axNx_oQgmcISpCyxGP0Wzyx98CdFR6V--Dsc-LUFiXyOe3fhzsnVA8zwV4D7zYFKcm8NGL2PBHbM-ubORO11WWo3ikfMVqT2QALzYTsQ=s16000" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Clockwise, from upper right, Don Everly, Dusty Hill, Graeme Edge, Les McKeown,<br />Michael Nesmith, Jay Black, Robby Steinhardt and Charlie Watts</span></td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-family: arial;"><br />It is that time once again, where I pay tribute to those we
lost over the past year, 2021. In deciding who to include, I’ve followed the
same formula as the past few years.
Again, these are the ones that I know about, and I may very well have
missed someone. The second factor is
that I must know about them musically. I
either know the person, their song(s), or their band. They are not listed here unless I am familiar
with at least one of those three things.
At the end of the day, I kind of hate to say this, but I stick to the
ones that I have music for in my library.</span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">The Reaper wasted no time and struck on New Years Day, 2021,
taking from us <b>Mick Bolton</b>, keyboardist for <b>Mott the Hoople</b>. Ian Hunter, leader of the band posted this,
upon hearing of his friend’s death: “Oh dear… Condolences to the family and
friends of Mick Bolton – an excellent musician and sweet, lovable man.” He was 72 years old.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">We lost <b>Gerry Marsden</b> two days later, on January 3<sup>rd</sup>. It was <b>Gerry, and his Pacemakers</b>, that
took us on that Ferry Cross the Mersey in 1964 and brought the Merseybeat sound
to the world. He was 78.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b>Phil Spector</b> passed away on January 16. He was a
producer but is worth mentioning in this list.
He created something called the “Wall of Sound,” and it became something
of a trademark in his productions. He
produced records for the Ronettes, the Righteous Brothers, Ike and Tina Turner,
the Ramones, and the Beatles, to mention but a few. He died in prison, serving a 19 year to life
sentence for murder. He was 81. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">We lost <b>Dusty Hill</b> on July 28<sup>th</sup>. He was one of the two “long beards” in <b>ZZ
Top</b>, the other being Billy Gibbons.
He was rarely ever seen without his trademark sunglasses and hat. He was 72 years old and active to the end.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">What can I say about <b>Charlie Watt</b> that hasn’t already
been said? He was the drummer for the <b>Rolling
Stones</b>, a founding member in 1963, and active all the way to his death, on
August 24, 2021. That’s a 68-year run as
a band member. He played his last
concert just a few weeks before his death at age 80, an amazing feat,
especially for a drummer.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">The youngest on the list this year is <b>Sarah Harding</b>,
who died September 5<sup>th</sup>. She
was a vocalist with the girl group, <b>Girls Aloud</b>. With that group, she acquired an impressive
twenty consecutive top-ten singles. We
lost her too soon to breast cancer. She
was only 39.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b>Jay Black</b> succumbed to pneumonia on October 22, at
the age of 82. He was the voice of so
many hits of the early and middle ‘60s with <b>Jay and the Americans</b>. In 2006, he filed bankruptcy after owing the
IRS over $500,000, due to his gambling addiction. He was forced to sell the
rights to his music, and Jay and the Americans, to settle the debt.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b>Michael Nesmith</b> left this earth on December 10<sup>th</sup>. He was already an accomplished musician when
he landed the TV role as one of the <b>Monkees</b>. He was always upset that the producers of the
show had no respect for the actors and their potential musical talents and
abilities. Case and point were when
Michael had written a song and he wanted the Monkees to do it. The producers said no and would not relent. He gave the song to Linda Ronstadt and the Stone
Ponies to record, and they took his song, <i>Different Drum</i>, all the way up
to no. 13 on the Billboard charts.
Michael Nesmith was 78.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

the nightmare of September 11. As we
remember and reflect on those events of that day, I want to bring to light a
story that is seldom told, but I think is worth telling. I’m going to tell you about Father Mychal
Judge, who has been referred to as the “Saint of 9-11.” That is him, slumped in the chair, in the
photo above.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;">Father Mychal Judge was a Franciscan Friar, Catholic
Priest and the Chaplain of the New York City Fire Department. In the latter capacity, he would respond to major
events in the city and pray for the emergency responders. He would help them deal with the horrors they
saw, pray for them to have the strength and courage to face their duties, and
sometimes would be called upon to help the fallen pass.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;">It was not surprising that he was there on September 11<sup>th</sup>,
doing those same things. When he
arrived, he knelt and anointed the body of fallen firefighter, Daniel Suhr, of
Engine Company 216. Suhr would later be
credited with saving 13 fellow firefighters that morning before becoming
fatally injured.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;">Father Judge then entered the lobby of the North Tower
where the Incident Command Center (Field Com) had been set up. There, he continued to pray and see to his
other priestly duties. He did this for
quite some time and then the order came for all non-essential personnel to
evacuate the North Tower. He refused to
go and simply replied, "My work here is not finished."</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;">At 9:59 am, the unthinkable happened and the South Tower
collapsed, 56 minutes after being struck.
As this happened, it blew tons of debris through the lobby of the adjacent
North Tower, where Father Judge was Praying.
Many were killed by the flying debris, including the priest. He had been chanting a prayer, “Jesus, please
end this right now! God, please end this!”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;">As the air began to clear in the aftermath of the
collapse of the adjacent tower, survivors in the lobby of the North Tower began
to evacuate the building. It was then
that a couple of survivors came across the dead body of Father Judge, laying on
the floor. They felt that they just
couldn’t leave him, so they picked him up and began to carry him. Soon a couple of others joined them. As they got outside, they found a chair, sat
the priest in it, and continued to carry him.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;">The first objective was any ambulance where they could
deposit him, and he could be transported away.
Soon that destination changed, and they began heading to a nearby church. This is when the picture at the top was
taken.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;">They entered the church and carried him up the center
aisle. They lovingly placed his body at
the base of the altar. They respectfully
covered him with a sheet with his badge and prayer stole placed on his
chest. They then returned to their
respective duties.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;">As the day progressed, the story of the FDNY Chaplain in
the church began to circulate. He was not
the first to die that day, nor was he the first recovered or even identified. Yet, at some point, a decision was made to
designate him as “Victim #0001.” At least
that is the way it was made public. When
I heard about it, I was told he was assigned “Toe Tag #0001 at the morgue.” The reason I was told was so that he could
lead the dead to the Pearly Gates and on into Heaven. I recall weeping profusely at the story.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;">Four days later at his funeral, Father Michael Duffy had
this to say about his friend…</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><i><span style="font-family: arial;">“Mychal Judge’s body was the first one released from
Ground Zero. His death certificate has the number one on the top. I meditated
on that fact of the thousands of people that we are going to find out who
perished in that terrible holocaust. Why was Mychal Judge number one? And I
think I know the reason. Mychal’s goal and purpose in life at that time was to
bring the firemen to the point of death, so they would be ready to meet their
maker. There are between two and three hundred firemen buried there [the pile
at Ground Zero], the commissioner told us last night.</span></i></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><i><span style="font-family: arial;">“Mychal Judge could not have ministered to them all.
It was physically impossible in this life but not in the next. And I think that
if he were given his choice, he would prefer to have happened what actually
happened. He passed through the other side of life, and now he can continue
doing what he wanted to do with all his heart. And the next few weeks, we’re
going to have names added, name after name of people, who are being brought out
of that rubble. And Mychal Judge is going to be on the other side of death to
greet them instead of sending them there. And he’s going to greet them with
that big Irish smile. He’s going to take them by the arm and the hand and say,
“Welcome, I want to take you to my Father.” And so, he can continue doing in
death what he couldn’t do in life.”</span></i></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;">A number of people in the Catholic Church have called for
his canonization to sainthood. There
have even been several miracles attributed to Father Mychal Judge. It is worth mentioning that Father Judge’s
helmet would eventually be recovered beneath the debris of the North Tower, <b>COMPLETELY
INTACT! </b>Most everything in that
lobby was pulverized to dust. His helmet
would later be presented to Pope John Paull II at the Vatican.</span></p>
<span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: arial;">So, when you look back on the events of September
11<sup>th</sup> on this 20<sup>th</sup> anniversary, remember warmly Father Mychal
Judge.</span></span><div><span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="line-height: 107%;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZTLmuZtwRGPuGeSVabOLnAgzM8BDxv-TirM280tTnhp4MNZ_bKMJaaKcec-_E6yMScpb6Rzdti6yWNUbogqBJwQeLCW_T-LKekcN9R7RNu7yvshT529jgxnPd924n937ZHg9Kms4QAkMH/s338/Mychal_Judge.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><img border="0" data-original-height="338" data-original-width="295" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZTLmuZtwRGPuGeSVabOLnAgzM8BDxv-TirM280tTnhp4MNZ_bKMJaaKcec-_E6yMScpb6Rzdti6yWNUbogqBJwQeLCW_T-LKekcN9R7RNu7yvshT529jgxnPd924n937ZHg9Kms4QAkMH/s320/Mychal_Judge.jpg" width="279" /></span></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Pater Mychal Judge...

and it will be held this weekend, August 13, 14, and 15. This has become
something of a tradition at AWT and we do it every August now. I have 27
hours of the 36 hours of music recorded that weekend (the whole concert except
three songs was recorded directly from the soundboard), that is 75%, or ¾ of
the concert! I will play it this weekend over the three days in its
historical order.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;">I should mention here the <i>Back to the Garden</i> project. In 2019, being the 50th Anniversary of the
festival, Woodstock Producer/Promoter, Michael Lang (no relation to Ashra),
decided to release all 36 hours of concert recordings made at the soundboard
that weekend. This was a very
limited-edition release with a price tag in the thousands. I was willing to pay it (fueled by my own
love and obsession for this concert, not just for AWT) but there were just no
copies to be had. They went on sale and
sold out before I learned about them (a couple of days later). I hope to have them sometime in the next few
years. This year I continue as I have in
the past, with portions from the board along with other portions from other
sources (bootleg) of varying quality.<br />
<br />
If you visit <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/A%20Womans%20Touch/88/165/24" target="_blank"><span style="color: #e06666; text-decoration-line: none;">AWT</span></a> this
week, you will see it slowly transform into the concert grounds as the
stage and other facilities take shape. In the past couple of years, I
have begun to further capture the feel by controlling the time of day
(day/night) on the sim to match what it was during that point of the concert we
experience at AWT. I have also included things like sunny vs. overcast,
rain, and other things. Through the weekend, you will see the festival
grounds at AWT go from pristine to a disaster area. This is truly as close as we could get to
attend the actual 1969 event.<br />
<br />
If you missed the original in 1969, this might just be your best chance to
experience the original Woodstock in cyberspace with us at AWT. A number
of people who attended in the past have said that in a way they now felt like
they were there. Below, you will not only find the schedule and times,
but I have printed the entire setlists for this weekend. Furthermore, if
you scroll past the massive setlist, you will find interesting moments you
will hear this weekend, like when the Dead blow their amplifiers or Pete
Townsend of the Who hits Abbie Hoffman over the head with his guitar.
Each event is explained and an approximate time, to the minute, that you will
hear it this weekend.<br />
<br />
So pack up your car or micro-bus. Drive as far as you can down the SL
Thruway, then abandon your car and hike the rest of the way to <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/A%20Womans%20Touch/88/165/24" target="_blank"><span style="color: #e06666; text-decoration-line: none;">a Woman’s
Touch</span></a>. When you get here, the chain link fence is down on the
west side of the concert field. It’s a free concert. Roll out your
sleeping bag and enjoy the Woodstock Music and Arts Fair, an Aquarian
Exposition: 3 Days of Peace & Music.<br />

<i>The Jefferson Airplane was supposed to end things on Saturday as the last
act of the night but things fell so horribly far behind that they didn't take
the stage until the sun was up Sunday morning. Many purists would say
that they are a Saturday act and after their set, there was a several-hour
break in the music. I figured if they played in daylight on Sunday, I'll
classify them as the first Sunday band.</i><br />

<b><u>Notable Incidents You Will Hear This Weekend</u></b><u> (All times
are in SL time this weekend.) </u><br />
<br />
<b>Arlo Guthrie’s Microphone</b> (Friday, 7:42 PM)<br />
Arlo Guthrie starts off his set with <i>Coming Into Los Angeles</i> but
there is just one problem. You cannot hear the vocals. There was
trouble with his microphone, and it wasn’t until about a minute into his first
song that the engineers fixed the problem. You can barely hear him
singing, probably through the microphone set up to pick up his guitar.
Despite the problem, this song did make the movie and the first soundtrack
album released in 1970. The song was begun in the middle, after the solo,
going into the refrain. Thus, the flawed part was edited out and only the
second half of the song is used. We will hear it in its entirety, failure,
and all.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

from a very strange source, the United States Army!</span><span style="color: #130101;"> </span><span style="color: #130101;">Realizing the great potential for a negative
reaction from the crowd, John Morris took to the stage and tried to take some
control over the situation.</span><span style="color: #130101;"> </span><span style="color: #130101;">In John’s
own words upon seeing the green helicopters:</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><i><span style="color: #130101; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: arial;">“You could see people start to
look up … and all I said was, 'Ladies and gentlemen, the United States Army —'

could see the red crosses on the side.”</span></span></i></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #130101; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: arial;">He

<br />
<b>Country Joe McDonald Stalls for Time</b> (Saturday, 10:49 AM)<br />
Joe McDonald was the frontman for the band, Country Joe and the Fish.
After Quill finished their set, Santana was not ready to take the stage for
theirs. McDonald was reluctantly recruited to go on stage and do a few
songs solo to placate the crowd. He was not prepared to go on alone, so
he used the excuse that he had no guitar. One was located backstage, so
he then used the excuse that he had no guitar strap. A piece of rope was
tied to the guitar, and he had run out of excuses. Joe McDonald
improvised a solo set and it included one of the most memorable moments of the
weekend. He got the crowd worked up. “Give me an F… Give me a
U… Give me a C… Give me a K… What’s that spell? [FUCK] What’s that
spell? [FUCK]…<br />
<br />
Yeah, c’mon on all you big strong men,<br />
Uncle Sam needs your help again.<br />
He’s got himself in a terrible jam<br />
way down yonder in Vietnam,<br />
so put down your books and pick up a gun.<br />
We’re gonna have a whole lot of fun.<br />
And it’s 1, 2, 3, what’re we fighting for?<br />
Don’t ask me, I don’t give a damn;<br />
next stop is Vietnam.<br />
<br />
Partway through the song, he addresses the crowd. “Listen people, I don't know
how you expect to ever stop the war if you can't sing any better than that.
There's about 300,000 of you fuckers out there…"</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #130101; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"></span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDPYbrg1a3BPJeLDpMD12yE6fLJnHRRzlYEzkEWAWF5YKv-4u_KOyFX4alHFWoQdzNIE8abDr1YoRex-Tq3frbEywS7RHt1Z_MeKOnYgtnl_GId4MpWhKMKCMdvfsbVYLJaoaFtDudn4c0/s320/countryjoe.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="Joe McDonald" border="0" data-original-height="285" data-original-width="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDPYbrg1a3BPJeLDpMD12yE6fLJnHRRzlYEzkEWAWF5YKv-4u_KOyFX4alHFWoQdzNIE8abDr1YoRex-Tq3frbEywS7RHt1Z_MeKOnYgtnl_GId4MpWhKMKCMdvfsbVYLJaoaFtDudn4c0/s16000/countryjoe.jpg" /></a></td></tr></tbody></table><p></p><p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #130101;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Joe McDonald with a rope guitar strap, improvises and stalls for time<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #130101;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><span style="color: #130101; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Bob Hite of Canned Heat has to

1:13 PM)<br />
Canned Heat took the stage and lead singer, Bob Hite, after the first song
announced to the crowd, “…There is only one thing I wish, I sure gotta
pee!” It was a direct reference to the lack of adequate sanitary
facilities at the concert. It should also be noted that just before
introducing them, Chip Monck, the emcee, remarked about how well they were
holding up with the help of the US Army.<b> </b><br />
<br />
<b>The Grateful Dead are Delayed</b> (Saturday, 4:55 PM)</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="color: #130101;">The Grateful Dead were supposed to take the stage after Mountain. Well,
several things kept that from happening. First, the switching between bands was
supposed to be facilitated by a turntable-type stage. While one band was
on stage (in front), they could be setting up the next one backstage. The
mechanism failed and they had to manually set up the Grateful Dead’s stage.
Furthermore, the stage had flooded due to rain, and this was causing all sorts
of grounding issues and there were safety concerns.</span><span style="color: #130101;"> </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"></span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMhOObTKP69UOBuFzxrD7WXHweewtqkK6ah-S_EMwrMSEXiDQSfnp-mKTFAxMz_bHGp7C80bGfDIR0zGAjdqoHPSIlnKrripAuCxHI901OF3_iY442x_O9oI5PzR7fchgmr8oSOq54nAy8/s431/Grateful+Dead+Woodstock.png" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="269" data-original-width="431" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMhOObTKP69UOBuFzxrD7WXHweewtqkK6ah-S_EMwrMSEXiDQSfnp-mKTFAxMz_bHGp7C80bGfDIR0zGAjdqoHPSIlnKrripAuCxHI901OF3_iY442x_O9oI5PzR7fchgmr8oSOq54nAy8/s16000/Grateful+Dead+Woodstock.png" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The Dead at Woodstock</td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><span style="color: #130101; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The Grateful Dead End Early</span></b><span style="color: #130101; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> (Saturday, 4:56 PM)<br />
The fear about the water and electrical systems may have been well-founded. As
they ended a monster rendition (over 37 minutes long) of <i>Turn on Your
Love Light</i>, a loud bang can be heard as they blew their stage amplifiers
and had to end their set early.<b> </b><br />
<br />
<b>Abbie Hoffman Crashes the Stage on the Who</b> (Saturday, 8:14 PM)<br />
Abbie Hoffman was a notable 60’s activist and radical who was always
controversial and often in trouble with the law. Between Sly and the
Family Stone and the Who, Hoffman had addressed the “politics of the situation”
with an angry rant (Saturday, 7:54 PM) about the plight of John Sinclair,
manager of Detroit rock band, the MC5. Sinclair was serving a ten-year
prison term in Michigan for possessing two joints of marijuana. (I wrote
about the MC5 and John Sinclair, the whole mess, </span><a href="http://smowadeng.blogspot.com/2018/05/the-mc5.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #e06666; text-decoration-line: none;">here</span></a><span style="color: #130101; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">.)
After the Who was part of the way through their set and tuning their
instruments after <i>Pinball Wizard</i>, Hoffman crashed the stage, taking
the microphone from Roger Daltry. He began another stoned rant about
Sinclair saying, “I think this is a pile of shit while John Sinclair rots in
prison.” Pete Townsend then attacked Hoffman, hitting him over the head
with his guitar. Townsend can plainly be heard saying, “Fuck! Off my
fucking stage!” The Who then went on to <i>Do You Think It's Alright</i>.<b> </b><br />
<br />
<b>Breakfast in Bed for 400,000</b> (Saturday, 12:10 AM)<br />
Sunday morning, after Jefferson Airplane had finished their set, Hog Farm
leader, Wavy Gravy (Hugh Romney), took to the stage and addressed the
crowd. “What we have in mind is breakfast in bed for 400,000.”</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="color: #130101; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">
<br />
<b>Max Yasgur Addresses the Crowd</b> (Saturday, 12:14 AM)<br />
When the original location for the festival fell through, weeks before the
concert, Max Yasgur, a local dairy farmer, made his 600-acre farm
available. It was only fitting that he got his few minutes of fame and
got to address the crowd. An older-looking man, who looked very out of
place, wearing black plastic-rimmed glasses, took the stage. There was no
less hip person in the place, yet he sang the praises of the concert
attendees. It was another wonderful Woodstock moment. Joe Cocker
took the stage after him and dedicated his first song to him. “And we’re going
to do this um this little number to start off with, the title suggests that
farming guy who just came out, did you see that nice little bloke…"</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: arial;"></span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihwAgQU_DAE72u4el0JdJBib1sO2wSnqZDQjLFbzNDLX4xp0Gj_FnJrdWOfw55tIL5fYqCEO422d2sCXJG77v-WsJX2csusMAHOLxKEUcvIQWYLI4TW0ARBUnxkT_DEQa9KgmuN2fiT1g-/s141/MaxYasgur.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="141" data-original-width="121" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihwAgQU_DAE72u4el0JdJBib1sO2wSnqZDQjLFbzNDLX4xp0Gj_FnJrdWOfw55tIL5fYqCEO422d2sCXJG77v-WsJX2csusMAHOLxKEUcvIQWYLI4TW0ARBUnxkT_DEQa9KgmuN2fiT1g-/s16000/MaxYasgur.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Max Yasgur</td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #130101; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: arial;">Yasgur would later be
immortalized in Joni Mitchell’s classic song, made famous by CSNY, <i>Woodstock</i>.<br />
<br />
I came upon a child of God,<br />
He was walking along the road<br />
And I asked him, "Where are you going?"<br />
And this he told me...<br />
<br />
I'm going on down to <b>Yasgur's</b> Farm,<br />
I'm gonna join in a rock and roll band.<br />
I'm gonna camp out on the land.<br />
I'm gonna get my soul free.<br />
<br />
<b>Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young are Scared Shitless</b> (Sunday, 6:06
PM)<br />
Although all four were seasoned concert performers with other bands, this was
only the second time that CSNY had played in front of people and the crowd
happened to be 400,000. After finishing their opening number, <i>Suite:
Judy Blue Eyes</i>, Stephen Stills admits, “Thank you, we needed that.
This is the second time we've ever played in front of people, man. We're scared
shitless."<br />
<br />
<b>Emcee, Chip Monck, Closes the Festival</b> (Sunday, 9:08 PM)<br />
Chip Monck was the voice of Woodstock. His voice filled the void between
sets with announcements, messages, directions, and warnings about the brown
acid. He worked relentlessly all three days. The thing is that he
was hired to build and operate the stage lighting for the event. After he
designed and built it, the location of the concert changed, and the stage was
built to different specifications to accommodate the new space. The new
roof over the stage was not compatible with the lighting design Monck had
worked ten weeks building. There was no stage lighting at
Woodstock. Only follow spots, operated from those towers that ironically
Monck kept warning people about all weekend long.<br />
<br />
Michael Lang realized at the last minute that he never hired an emcee, but
there was Chip Monck, a man he had already paid $7000 and who no longer had a
function. Thus, Woodstock became the only concert in history to have the lighting
director supplying some of the most famous quotes.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #130101; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-outline-level: 3;"><b><span style="color: #130101; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: arial;">What

<span style="color: #130101; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: arial;">There
are numerous references to the Hog Farm, such as when a small child was lost
and stage manager, John Morris, instructs the child, wherever he may be, to go
up the hill and find a hog farmer. The “farmer” would reunite him with
his mother, interestingly named “Sunshine.” (You can hear this incident Friday
night during our set at about 8:25 PM SL time.) So, who are these hog
farmers?</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #130101; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 107%;"></span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinP6ErmbBcR9OapEazNau8Ydeoq5XYJtrG8nizAcNkeH5y0JC8cnod6WBF9SYLkBzh9XM8ajutq5dsW1LCUnBwnQQx96vrGW1LRUfhFPdhNpx8amPmoNfnFORjgayxBCQWLhrW_uA7dhva/s412/hog-farm.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="273" data-original-width="412" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinP6ErmbBcR9OapEazNau8Ydeoq5XYJtrG8nizAcNkeH5y0JC8cnod6WBF9SYLkBzh9XM8ajutq5dsW1LCUnBwnQQx96vrGW1LRUfhFPdhNpx8amPmoNfnFORjgayxBCQWLhrW_uA7dhva/s16000/hog-farm.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span face=""Calibri",sans-serif" style="color: #130101; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Hog Farmers ride their psychedelic bus at Woodstock back in 1969</span></td></tr></tbody></table><span style="color: #130101; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /><span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The Hog Farm was a west coast hippie commune that was recruited to help
with running the festival. It would obviously take a lot of people to
work the event and that was where the Hog Farm came in. They set up a lot
of the grounds that were not part of the stage and ran a “Free Kitchen” to feed
festival-goers. They were also charged with the task of providing
security, which hit them completely by surprise. They decided on a
friendly approach and dubbed themselves the “Please Force.” Their
approach to security was to ask people nicely, “Please don’t do that.”<br />
<br />
The picture above shows some of the hog farmers arriving in their psychedelic
school bus. Looking at the front grill, it seems to be late a 1930s or
early 1940s model. Today it might be considered a valuable antique, but
in 1969 it was just a 25-30-year-old clunker. In many ways, the Hog Farm
bus has become a Woodstock icon.<br />
<br />
Their leader was a man named “Hugh Romney,” who is better known as “Wavy
Gravy.” His part in the concert, and his subsequent appearance in the
Woodstock film, made him something of a hippie celebrity, so much so that Ben
& Jerry even named an Ice Cream flavor after him. He did not get his

It has now been 108 posts and 35,280 views later and it is still going strong. My first post was a brief introductory post, explaining why I was starting the blog. I found it interesting to read all of these years later. Read it at the link below and see if it has succeeded in its purpose or has changed or evolved.</p><p><a href="http://smowadeng.blogspot.com/2011/06/welcome-to-my-blog.html" target="_blank">Welcome to My Blog!</a><br /></p><p>It was followed about an hour and a half later with a post reporting the passing of Clarence Clemmons, saxophonist for Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band.</p><p><a href="http://smowadeng.blogspot.com/2011/06/clarence-clemons-1942-2011.html" target="_blank">Clarence Clemons (1942-2011)</a><br /></p><p>I did mark the passing of some greats like Chuck Berry and David Bowie; I marked various anniversaries; I introduced you to some not well-traveled paths through the music world.

Every week through a good portion of 2017, I'd post about a certain band but include a lot about myself.

The idea here is not to tell the story of the band or play two hours of their greatest hits. The idea behind Sue’s Sunday Sojourn will be to spend time with Sue, down in her music vault. As she puts together the set, she will reminisce and share special memories. “I remember when this came out,” or, “I recall hearing this for the first time and I thought…” She might share little known facts, favorite memories, fun stories or maybe even some personal experiences. </i></p></blockquote><p></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p><i>"The sets will have plenty of the big hits but be ready for a few obscure tunes that may be her personal favorites.

Brooklyn, New York, released their song, <i>The Lion Sleeps Tonight</i>. At that moment, the most remarkable thing
about it was that their singer, Mitch Margo, was only 14 years old! (He was 13 when he recorded the song.) It soon hit #1 on the <i>Billboard</i> charts
and stayed there for three weeks, forever securing their place in music
history.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">The song was an African song originally written in the Zulu
language back in the 1920s. The song had
been popular throughout the ‘50s on the Folk circuits in America and the UK under
the title, “<i>Wimoweh</i>.” It had
first hit the mass, English-speaking, audience nine years earlier when it was
released by Pete Seeger and the Weavers.
What was new and innovative with the Tokens version in 1961 was the
addition of English lyrics in addition to the Zulu ones.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-family: arial;">“In the jungle, the mighty jungle, the lion sleeps
tonight…<o:p></o:p></span></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-family: arial;">“Near the village, the peaceful village, the lion sleeps
tonight…<o:p></o:p></span></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><i>“Hush, my darling, don't fear, my darling, the lion
sleeps tonight…”</i><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">As time marched on, the song’s popularity would only grow. In 1972, Robert John would cover the song,
complete with the English lyrics and it would climb to #3 on the charts. (I will play all songs mentioned in this post
on Tuesday night.) There would be other
chart-topping versions and the rights to the song would eventually be acquired
by Disney and a version used in the <i>Lion King</i>.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Those English lyrics were written by songwriter, George
David Weiss. He was hired to do so by
executives at RCA Victor for the Tokens upcoming release. Weiss had written many songs that charted and
was quite prolific. He wrote the lyrics
to Louie Armstrong’s <i>What a Wonderful World</i>. His lyrics would forever change the title of <i>Wimoweh</i>
to “<i>The Lion Sleeps Tonight</i>.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">The song was originally written in the 1920s in the Zulu
language by South African, Solomon Linda.
The song’s title was “<a name="_Hlk69548443"><i>Mbube</i></a>,” which is
Zulu for “Lion.” It was in 1938 that he recorded
the song with his then group, the Evening Birds. The title, “<i>Wimoweh</i>,” was actually an
English mangling of the lyrics. The
chorus, “<i>Uyimbube</i>,” sounded like “wim-o-weh” to the average English speaker. The line translated means “you are the lion.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Solomon Linda, or “Solly” to his friends, was quite the
celebrity in Zulu culture in the 1930s.
He was known for his music and setting cultural trends and fashions. He wrote songs about things he said and did
in his life. Mbube was inspired by
memories of chasing lions away as a teen, protecting his father’s cattle. The lyrics translate something like, “Lion!
Ha! You’re the lion!” So much legend
would rise among the English-speaking public that soon it was believed to recount
a lion hunt. I’ve seen various versions
of what the lyrics were reported to say including, “Hush, hush. If everyone’s
quiet, we’ll have lion meat to eat tonight.”
Untrue!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Although Apartheid would be another ten years into the
future, when Solly and the Evening Birds recorded <i>Mbube</i>, South Africa
was a very racist and segregated society.
After recording it, Solomon Linda was paid ten shillings and the record
company, Gallo Records, owned the recording, and all rights, including the copyright. Linda saw nothing wrong with that in their
world. He was paid for an honest
afternoon’s work. Ironically, Linda
would work for Gallo Records for the rest of his life doing a menial job in a
record-packing plant.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">In the 1950s, the song became famous world-wide as the
folksong, <i>Wimoweh</i>. Decca Records
had been paying Pete Seeger writer royalties on the song, but when he learned
of the true origins of the song, Seeger demanded that Decca stop paying him and
instead they were to pay Linda in South Africa.
Seeger’s payments immediately stopped but payments to Solomon Linda
never started. Pete Seeger would not
learn this truth for many years.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">The song was quite famous in folk music circles and made a
fair amount of money. It would be taken
to the next level in 1961 when the Tokens released their famous version. Now the fame extended world-wide in the pop
and rock & roll markets. The record
would go gold and the song began earning millions, none of it seen by Linda. Solomon Linda would die the following year,
penniless and destitute, and be buried in a pauper’s grave.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">The song was an amazing hit.
It is said that when Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys, first heard the
Tokens’ version on the radio, that he had to pull his car off to the side of
the road. Songwriter Carol King, in a
flabbergasted voice, simply called it a “Motherfucker!”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Many artists have covered the song, some under the title of “<i>Wimoweh</i>,”
but most of them as the “<i>Lion Sleeps Tonight</i>.” Since the Tokens released their song in 1961,
I count at least 61 versions covering it and I’m probably missing some. Here are some notable ones that you will hear
Tuesday night.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">In 1964, Glen Campbell released a beautiful instrumental rendition
on his 12-string guitar.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">In 1969, The New Kingston Trio released a live version. They never recorded it in the studio, but it
had been a staple of their live performances since the late ‘50s.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><i>The Lion Sleeps Tonight</i> would again go gold in 1972,
with Robert John’s cover climbing to #3 on the charts.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">In 1982, British Pop/Disco band, Tight Fit, would have a #1
hit in the UK with their cover.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">In 1993, R.E.M. would cover the song and it would be
released as a B-side single.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">In 2001, Baha Men would sample the Tokens’ release on their
song, <i>You All Dat</i>.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">In 2010, Celtica Pipes Rock! Released their instrumental
cover, complete with bagpipes.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<h4 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Let the Lawsuits Begin…</span></h4>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">In 1990, the copyright for the Lion Sleeps Tonight was about
to expire and during its renewal process, all sorts of claims came out of the
woodwork. The Tokens claimed that they
had provided enough to the song that they should share in the writing
credits. This claim was summarily
dismissed. The entire mess would wind up
in arbitration in 1991, including the Estate of Solomon Linda, who had been
dead for almost 30 years.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">The matter was too complex to go into here, but the result
was Solomon Linda would finally be credited as the song's writer and George Weiss
would be credited for the English lyrics.
Eventually, Linda's surviving daughters would receive royalty payments
amounting to around $12,000, for a song that had made millions. A bit confused as to why they were being
given money, they happily accepted the cash, not knowing they had been owed
anything.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">In 1994, the song was used in Disney’s animated motion
picture, the <i>Lion King</i>. Disney
acquired the rights to the song to assure its position legally. When the song was originally recorded in South
Africa, that country had not signed the International Conventions of
Copyright. Therefore, the South African
copyright held no legal weight in the United States. Disney now owned the song.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">This was the beginning of a new monetary windfall for the <i>Lion
Sleeps Tonight</i>. The true story about
the origins of the song would start to surface along with its new
popularity. Pete Seeger would write a passionate
letter to the United Nations, urging them to take up the cause of international
copyright. In 2000, the BBC released a documentary,
<i>A Lion’s Trail</i>, which brought the injustices of this song to public
light.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">In 2004, the Estate of Solomon Linda filed a case in the
United States against Disney. In a court
of law, Disney held the upper hand.
However, the court of “public image” was another story. Disney, not
wanting their name sullied, settled with his estate. The earnings for the song are now placed in a
trust for the heirs of Solomon Linda.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

music database, expecting to find a handful of entries.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was shocked when they filled the page!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So, I created a playlist of <i>Hey Joe</i>,
without duplicates or live versions, like Hendrix’s Woodstock performance, and
found that even then, I still had an hour and seventeen minutes of <i>Hey Joe</i>.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">What this hour and seventeen minutes list soon showed me is that
these are not just copies of an original and most are unique and interesting in
some way, like the Smith version.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Once
again, I’m going to face some hard choices, but the Patti Smith version will
not be cut again.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’ll revisit the Patti
Smith version later in this post.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">This post is the result of a discussion at AWT about the
origins of this song and its interesting history.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What followed was not only the idea for this
post but for it to be the first in a series.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Each would feature a song with a rather interesting history.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">So, what is the origin of the song, <i>Hey Joe</i>?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">The first recording was in 1962 by folk singer, Billy
Roberts.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Roberts also copyrighted the
song, listing himself as the composer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>With most any song, that is where it would end, and I would not be writing
this post.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

</span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">In 1963, Dino Valenti copyrighted <i>Hey Joe</i> in Los
Angeles, listing himself as the composer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Valenti is most famous for composing the much covered <i>Let’s Get
Together</i> (often covered as “<i>Get Together</i>”) for the Kingston Trio in
1963 (eventually released in 1964).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Roberts
and Valenti were actually friends and there is a story circulating that he gave
the rights to Valenti since he was in jail at the time and he thought the
income would be useful when he was released.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Valenti was serving a one-to-ten-year sentence at Folsom State Prison
for possession of marijuana.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Upon his
release, he became a member of the Quicksilver Messenger Service, singing and
writing some of the biggest hits, including <i>Fresh Air</i>.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Eventually, despite the copyright dispute, all the writing
credits were eventually changed to show Billy Roberts as the composer, but did
he write it?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It doesn’t end there and gets
even more complicated.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When Folk legend,
Pete Seeger heard Roberts’ recording and learned of the copyright, he became
infuriated.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He had heard a demo tape by Niela
Miller, which he felt was close enough to Hey Joe to infringe on her copyright,
filed earlier the same year as Roberts did.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Miller’s song, <i>Baby, Please Don’t Go to Town</i>, existed only as a
demo and was likely heard by Roberts, who was dating Miller at the time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Miller never pushed the issue despite Seeger
even offering to testify on her behalf.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The demo was never released until 2009 and I’ll play it Tuesday night so
you can decide if Roberts ripped it off.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">So, could it get more complex?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Of course, it can.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Scottish folk singer, Len Partridge, claims
he and Roberts would perform the song together as early as 1956 while playing
the clubs in Edinburgh, Scotland.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He even
claims that they both wrote <i>Hey Joe</i>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>If the song existed back in 1956, maybe that is why Miller never pursued
the issue.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Who ripped off whom?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Other songs have been suggested as the “inspiration” for <i>Hey
Joe</i>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These include the traditional
southern folk song, <i>Little Sadie</i>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Country music artist, Carl Smith, came out with his own song, <i>Hey
Joe!</i>, in 1953.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Both share some
elements with Roberts’ song and probably did inspire him to some degree.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Regardless of what happened or which bits are true, there is
no doubt that since 1962, <i>Hey Joe</i> has been evolving and taking on a life
of its own.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The first band to release a
rock version of it was the Leaves in 1966.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I have versions by twenty different artists in my music library and that
is probably not even close to an exhaustive list.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The song has invited each artist to make it
their own with variations on the music and lyrics.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Also, in 1966, Tim Rose released a version of <i>Hey Joe</i>
that has no writing credit and attributes it to a “traditional” folk tune,
meaning one that has its beginnings lost somewhere back in time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He claimed to have heard it as a child in
Florida.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">In 1967, on his debut album, Jimi Hendrix released what is
probably the most famous cover of the tune.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It is interesting that so many people just assume Hendrix wrote it.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">In 1968, Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention, released
a parody of <i>Hey Joe</i> called “<i>Flower Punk</i>,” on their album, <i>We’re
Only in It for the Money</i>.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Also, in 1968, Deep Purple released a cover of <i>Hey Joe</i> on their debut album, <i>Shades of Deep Purple</i>. This was a very unique one as it started with an over two-minute organ intro that sounded like it was from a spaghetti western. The entire song is over 7 minutes long and I will use it to end my set on Tuesday.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Back to the Patti Smith version…<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">On 4 February 1974, 19-year-old Patty Hearst, granddaughter
of newspaper magnate, William Randolph Hearst was kidnapped, and the Symbionese
Liberation Army (SLA) claimed responsibility.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The news followed the story as the Hearst family cooperated with the SLA
in hopes they would release Patty unharmed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>After several tapes by Patty were released to her family, it became
clear that she had become indoctrinated and now embraced the SLA cause.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was soon after, that the picture of Hearst
at the top of this post, standing in front of the SLA flag, surfaced.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We started to hear about something called the
“Stockholm Syndrome,” where captives become sympathetic to their captors.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">A couple months later, in June 1974, Patty Smith recorded
her very first single, <i>Hey Joe</i>, with the intro quoted above.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was released the following November.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The quote that Smith attributes to Hearst’s
father is fairly accurate to what he said after he saw that picture of his
daughter.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Here is a list of the versions I have in my music library, in
as best a chronological order as I can get.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The ones in bold will be part of my set on Tuesday. (Listing only one
version by each artist though there might be several.)<o:p></o:p></span></p>

have in past years, to remember those we lost.
We lost 37 in 2019, which isn’t bad.
In past years, I have done between 35 and 45 memorials on the Hail and
Farewell list each year. This year there
is a shocking 79! Why is this? I can answer that in one word…</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">COVID-19.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">In past years, I have done this as a single DJ show, playing
one song by each artist as we wish them a final “Hail and Farewell.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Occasionally, when the list has been larger,
I have had to borrow an hour from the slot before me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As I prepared this year’s list, I realized
that it was going to well exceed four hours!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I made some decisions and did not include a few of the more obscure
entries like I normally would.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have
managed to keep the combined set list to four hours and fifteen minutes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I will present “Hail and Farewell” this year
over two shows, each to go a few minutes over the two-hour norm.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The programming notes are at the bottom of
the post.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">In deciding who to include, I’ve followed the same formula
as the past few years.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Again, these are
the ones that I know about and I may very well have missed someone.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The second factor is that I must know about
them musically.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I either know the
person, their song(s) or their band.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>They are not listed here unless I am familiar with at least one of those
three things.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At the end of the day, I
kind of hate to say this, but I stick to the ones that I have music for in my
library.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After I had compiled the list
this year, I cut out a few of the more obscure ones to make it manageable.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Here are a few notables on the list (the complete list
follows)…<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">We lost two from the <b>Left Banke</b> this year.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On January 14<sup>th</sup>, we lost <b>Steve
Martin Caro</b>, who was their lead singer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>He was only 16 when he first joined the band and only 17 when they
scored their first hit with <i>Walk Away Renee</i>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He was originally from Madrid Spain and born
“Carmelo Esteban Martin Caro.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He used
“Steve Martin” as a stage name until the comedian of the same name came on
scene in the 1970s.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He then went by
“Steve Martin Caro.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We also lost his
bandmate, <b>Tom Finn</b>, on June 27<sup>th</sup>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Finn would go on to become a club DJ in the
‘70s, including at the famous Studio 54.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The Left Banke’s sound was so unique, that the industry created a new
genre just for them, “Baroque Rock.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
wrote a blog post on the Left Bank back in 2011 and can be found <a href="http://smowadeng.blogspot.com/2011/07/left-banke.html" target="_blank">here</a>.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">On February 7<sup>th</sup>, we lost <b>Steve Weber</b> of
the Fugs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The <b>Fugs</b> were another
band that the industry was forced to create a genre for, “Avant Rock,” because
they didn’t fit into any existing classification.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They were definitely an underground band and
the Doors were once quoted as describing the Fugs as the "most vulgar
thing the human mind could possibly conceive.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Weber was 76 years old.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">On March 20th, we lost <b>Kenny Rogers</b>. <i><span style="color: #cc0000;">[Added Jan. 3 after missing him in the original post.]</span></i> He had his first hit with the psychedelic band, the <b>First Edition</b>, in 1968, "Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In).” It reached No. 5 on the charts. He went on to an amazing solo career having both country and pop hits. His list of awards is huge and includes three Grammys. Rogers was 81.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">We lost <b>Julie Felix</b> on March 22<sup>nd</sup>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She
was an American born to a Native American mother and a Mexican father.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was in the UK that she made a name for
herself and was the first solo folk performer to land a major UK record deal
when she signed with Decca Records.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>While she recorded several albums, she was probably best known from
European television and, in 1965, was the first folk performer to sell-out the
Royal Albert Hall.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The <i>Times</i>
hailed her as “Britain's First Lady of Folk.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>All of this and she remained unknown in her native United States.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><b>Alan Merrill</b> passed on March 29<sup>th</sup> from
COVID-19.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He was a singer and guitarist
for a British band, the <b>Arrows</b>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The Arrows were far more popular in the UK than in the States and even had
their own TV show.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He was relatively
obscure except for one thing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He wrote,
sang, and recorded a song with the Arrows in 1975, <i>I Love Rock ‘n’ Roll</i>,
which became a rock anthem for Joan Jett eight years later.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">The next day, March 30<sup>th</sup>, we lost <b>Bill Withers</b>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He had a big, number 1 hit with <i>Lean on Me</i>
in 1972.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He passed as the pandemic was
picking up speed rapidly and we began to hear his song.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The lyrics tell us that we all need to lean
on someone and if we work together, we can get through anything.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The message couldn’t have been timelier, so
much so that a group got together, including Bryan Adams, Buffy Sainte-Marie,
Geddy Lee, Justin Beiber, Avril Lavigne and many more, to record a new version
of the song to raise money to fight the pandemic.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Bill Withers parted this world leaving us a
timely and much-needed message of hope.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We could get through this if we worked together. He was 81 years old.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">I debated about including <b>Terry Doran</b>, but he was
just such a big name on the British music scene in the 1960s, despite never
writing a song, playing an instrument, or recording a record.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He was a luxury car dealer in London and
owned Brydor Cars with Brian Epstein, manager for the Beatles.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They sold exotic sportscars to all the
British rock stars.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In the Beatles song,
<i>She’s Leaving Home</i>, there is a line, “Waiting to keep the appointment
she made; greeting a man from the motor-trade,” which supposedly refers to
Doran.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He became a close confidant of
each of the four Beatles and eventually became an executive for Apple Corp. and
Apple Records.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was there he got to
manage many musical acts of the day, including <b>Mary Hopkins</b> and <b>Grapefruit</b>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He was 80 years old when he succumbed to
COVID-19 on April 18<sup>th</sup>.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">What can I say about <b>Little Richard</b> that hasn’t
already been said?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Born, “Richard Wayne
Penniman” in 1932, he joined his first band in 1950, <b>Buster Brown's
Orchestra</b>, at the age of 17, already a seasoned performer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Little Richard would boast throughout his
life that he invented “Rock and Roll,” like he did it singlehandedly.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Though maybe he does deserve some credit as
he was undoubtedly one of the earliest pioneers and did more than his share of
shaping the genre.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In 2013, he performed
his last performance 66 years after his first, complete with his signature
pencil mustache, pompadour, and eyeliner.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>God bless Little Richard; he was 87 years old.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><b>Peter Green</b>, the founder of <b>Fleetwood Mac</b>,
left this earth on July 25<sup>th</sup>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Fleetwood Mac started out, not as a rock band, but as a blues band. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Green formed the band in 1967 with former
fellow <b>Bluesbreaker</b> drummer, Mick Fleetwood.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They wanted badly to get John McVie
(nicknamed “Mac”), bassist for the Bluesbreakers to join them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Green named his new band after his drummer
and hopefully soon to be bassist, in hopes it would persuade Mac to join.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He did, but not until after Fleetwood Mac had
recorded its first album.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Green also
wrote a song for Fleetwood Mac that would later become a big hit for Santana, <i>Black
Magic Woman</i>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Peter Green was 73.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">We lost <b>Johnny Nash</b> on October 6<sup>th</sup>, just a
few weeks before the announcement of a COVID vaccine.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He had a number 1 hit with <i>I Can See
Clearly Now</i>, in 1972, the same year Bill Wither (mentioned earlier) had
his.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>While Withers’ song told us we
could get through by helping one another, Nash’s song was one of hope being
just ahead, and it was.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“Here is that
rainbow I've been praying for, it’s gonna be a bright (bright), Bright (bright)
sunshiny day…<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Look straight ahead,
there's nothing but blue skies…”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>His
song implored us to just hang on a little longer and we did.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Nine weeks later, shots were going in arms
and it is gonna be a bright sunshiny day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Johnny Nash was 80 years old.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">On October 19<sup>th</sup> we lost the Professor, <b>Spencer
Davis</b>, at age 81.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He was the frontman for the <b>Spencer Davis Group</b> and later became an executive for
A&R Records, having a long career in the music industry.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He earned his moniker, the “Professor,”
because of his love of languages.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Besides his native English, he was fluent in German, Spanish, and
French.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><b>Charley Pride</b> passed away on December 12<sup>th</sup>
from COVID-19.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He began as a
professional baseball player in the Negro Leagues but left in the late ‘50s to
pursue a music career.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He broke the
color barrier in Country Music, a near-impossible feat at the time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When he was done, he had 52 Top Ten hits on
the Billboard Country Charts, became a member of the Grand Ole Opry, and was inducted
into the Country Music Hall of Fame.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Charley was 86.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">With less than 48 hours left in 2020, the Reaper struck
again, claiming <b>Alto Reed</b> at age 72, on December 30<sup>th</sup>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He was a saxophone player, playing for many
great names like <b>Foghat</b>, <b>Grand Funk Railroad</b>, <b>Little Feat</b>,
<b>Dave Mason</b>, <b>Spencer Davis</b> (mentioned above), the <b>Ventures</b>,
<b>George Thorogood</b> and <b>Bob Seger</b>, to just name a few.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Probably, his most famous saxophone piece is
the solo in <i>Old Time Rock and Roll</i> for Bob Seger.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>His stage name, “Alto Reed,” is obviously the
combination of “Alto,” a kind of saxophone, and “Reed” the part of a sax that
produces the sound.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>His real name was, “Thomas
Neal Cartmell.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>

held this weekend, August 14, 15 and 16. This has become something of a
tradition at AWT and we do it every August now. I have 26 hours of the 36
hours of music recorded that weekend (the whole concert except three songs was
recorded directly from the sound board), that is 73%, almost ¾ of the
concert! I will play it this weekend over the three days in its
historical order.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="" style="color: #130101; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">I should mention here the <i>Back to the
Garden</i> project.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Last year, being the
50th Anniversary of the festival, Woodstock Producer/Promoter, Michael Lang (no
relation to Ashra), decided to release all 36 hours of concert recordings from
the board.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This was a very
limited-edition release with a price tag in the thousands.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was willing to pay it (my own love and
obsession for this concert, not just for AWT) but there were just no copies to
be had.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They went on sale and sold out
before I learned about them (a couple of days).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I hope to have them sometime in the next few years.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This year I continue as I have in the past,
with portions from the board along with other portions from other sources
(bootleg) of varying quality.<br />

concert grounds as the stage and other facilities take shape. In the past
couple of years, I have begun to further capture the feel by controlling the
time of day (day/night) on the sim to match what it was during that point of
the concert we experience at AWT. I have also included things like sunny
vs. overcast, rain, and other things. This is truly as close as we could
get to attending the actual 1969 event.<br />
<br />
If you missed the original in 1969, this might just be your best chance to
experience the original Woodstock in cyberspace with us at AWT. A number
of people who attended in the past have said that in a way they now felt like
they were there. Below, you will not only find the schedule and times,
but I have printed the entire set lists for this weekend. Furthermore, if
you scroll past the massive set list, you will find interesting moments you
will hear this weekend, like when the Dead blow their amplifiers or Pete
Townsend of the Who hits Abbie Hoffman over the head with his guitar.
Each event is explained and an approximate to the minute time that you will
hear it this weekend.<br />
<br />
So pack up your car or micro-bus. Drive as far as you can down the SL
Thruway, then abandon your car and hike the rest of the way to </span><span style="color: black; mso-color-alt: windowtext;"><a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/A%20Womans%20Touch/88/165/24" target="_blank"><span face="" style="color: #e06666; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">a Woman’s Touch</span></a></span><span face="" style="color: #130101; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">.

<i>The Jefferson Airplane was supposed to end things on Saturday as the last
act of the night but things fell so horribly far behind that they didn't take
the stage until the sun was rising Sunday morning. Many purists would say
that they are a Saturday act and after their set, there was a several hour
break in the music. I figured if they played in daylight on Sunday, I'll
classify them as the first Sunday band.</i><br />

<b><u>Notable Incidents You Will Hear This Weekend</u></b><u> (All times
are in SL time this weekend.) </u><br />
<br />
<b>Arlo Guthrie’s Microphone</b> (Friday, 7:40 PM)<br />
Arlo Guthrie starts off his set with <i>Coming Into Los Angeles</i> but
there is just one problem. You cannot hear the vocals. There was
trouble with his microphone, and it wasn’t until about a minute into his first
song that the engineers fixed the problem. You can barely hear him
singing, probably through the microphone set up to pick up his guitar.
Despite the problem, this song did make the movie and the first soundtrack
album released in 1970. The song was begun in the middle, after the solo,
going into the refrain. Thus, the flawed part was edited out and only the
second half of the song is used. We will hear it in its entirety, failure,
and all.<br />
<br />
<b>Country Joe McDonald Stalls for Time</b> (Saturday, 11:18 AM)<br />
Joe McDonald was the front man for the band, Country Joe and the Fish.
After Quill finished their set, Santana was not ready to take the stage for
theirs. McDonald was reluctantly recruited to go on stage and do a few
songs solo to placate the crowd. He was not prepared to go on alone, so
he used the excuse that he had no guitar. One was located backstage, so
he then used the excuse that he had no guitar strap. A piece of rope was
tied to the guitar and he had run out of excuses. Joe McDonald improvised
a solo set and it included one of the most memorable moments of the
weekend. He got the crowd worked up. “Give me an F… Give me a
U… Give me a C… Give me a K… What’s that spell? [FUCK] What’s that
spell? [FUCK]…<br />
<br />
Yeah, c’mon on all you big strong men,<br />
Uncle Sam needs your help again.<br />
He’s got himself in a terrible jam<br />
way down yonder in Vietnam,<br />
so put down your books and pick up a gun.<br />
We’re gonna have a whole lot of fun.<br />
And it’s 1, 2, 3, what’re we fighting for?<br />
Don’t ask me, I don’t give a damn;<br />
next stop is Vietnam.<br />
<br />
Part way through the song he addresses the crowd. “Listen people, I don't know
how you expect to ever stop the war if you can't sing any better than that.
There's about 300,000 of you fuckers out there…”<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDPYbrg1a3BPJeLDpMD12yE6fLJnHRRzlYEzkEWAWF5YKv-4u_KOyFX4alHFWoQdzNIE8abDr1YoRex-Tq3frbEywS7RHt1Z_MeKOnYgtnl_GId4MpWhKMKCMdvfsbVYLJaoaFtDudn4c0/s320/countryjoe.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="285" data-original-width="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDPYbrg1a3BPJeLDpMD12yE6fLJnHRRzlYEzkEWAWF5YKv-4u_KOyFX4alHFWoQdzNIE8abDr1YoRex-Tq3frbEywS7RHt1Z_MeKOnYgtnl_GId4MpWhKMKCMdvfsbVYLJaoaFtDudn4c0/d/countryjoe.jpg" title="Joe McDonald" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Joe McDonald, with rope guitar strap, stalls for time<br /></td></tr></tbody></table><p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"></td></tr></tbody></table><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><span face="" style="color: #130101; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><br />Bob Hite of Canned Heat has to Pee</span></b><span face="" style="color: #130101; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> (Saturday, 1:37 PM)<br />
Canned Heat took the stage and lead singer, Bob Hite, after the first song
announced to the crowd, “…There is only one thing I wish, I sure gotta
pee!” It was a direct reference to the lack of adequate sanitary
facilities at the concert. It should also be noted that just before
introducing them, Chip Monck, the emcee, remarked about how well they were
holding up with the help of the US Army.<b> </b><br />
<br />
<b>The Grateful Dead are Delayed</b> (Saturday, 3:56 PM)<br />
The Grateful Dead were supposed to take the stage after Mountain. Well,
several things kept that from happening. First, the switching between bands was
supposed to be facilitated by a turntable type stage. While one band was
on stage (in front), they could be setting up the next one backstage. The

Furthermore, the stage had flooded due to rain and this was causing all sorts

The fear about the water and electrical systems may have been well-founded. As
they ended a monster rendition (over 37 minutes long) of <i>Turn on Your
Love Light</i>, a loud bang can be heard as they blew their stage amplifiers
and had to end their set early.<b> </b><br />
<br />
<b>Abbie Hoffman Crashes the Stage on the Who</b> (Saturday, 8:32 PM)<br />
Abbie Hoffman was a notable 60’s activist and radical who was always
controversial and often in trouble with the law. Between Sly and the
Family Stone and the Who, Hoffman had addressed the “politics of the situation”
with an angry rant (Saturday, 7:54 PM) about the plight of John Sinclair,
manager of Detroit rock band, the MC5. Sinclair was serving a ten-year
prison term in Michigan for possessing two joints of marijuana. (I wrote
about the MC5 and John Sinclair, the whole mess, </span><a href="http://smowadeng.blogspot.com/2018/05/the-mc5.html" target="_blank"><span face="" style="color: #e06666; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; text-decoration-line: none;">here</span></a><span face="" style="color: #130101; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">.) After the Who was part of the way
through their set and tuning their instruments after <i>Pinball Wizard</i>,
Hoffman crashed the stage, taking the microphone from Roger Daltry. He
began another stoned rant about Sinclair saying, “I think this is a pile of
shit while John Sinclair rots in prison.” Pete Townsend then attacked
Hoffman, hitting him over the head with his guitar. Townsend can plainly
be heard saying, “Fuck! Off my fucking stage!” The Who then went on to <i>Do
You Think It's Alright</i>.<b> </b><br />
<br />
<b>Breakfast in Bed for 400,000</b> (Saturday, 11:39 AM)<br />
Sunday morning, after Jefferson Airplane had finished their set, Hog Farm
leader, Wavy Gravy (Hugh Romney), took to the stage and addressed the
crowd. “What we have in mind is breakfast in bed for 400,000.”<br />
<br />
<b>Max Yasgur Addresses the Crowd</b> (Saturday, 11:43 AM)<br />
When the original location for the festival fell through, weeks before the
concert, Max Yasgur, a local dairy farmer, made his 600 acre farm
available. It was only fitting that he got his few minutes of fame and
got to address the crowd. An older looking man, who looked very out of
place, wearing black plastic rimmed glasses, took the stage. There was no
less hip person in the place, yet he sang the praises of the concert
attendees. It was another wonderful Woodstock moment. Joe Cocker
took the stage after him and dedicated his first song to him. “And we’re going
to do this um this little number to start off with, the title suggests that farming
guy who just came out, did you see that nice little bloke…"<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihwAgQU_DAE72u4el0JdJBib1sO2wSnqZDQjLFbzNDLX4xp0Gj_FnJrdWOfw55tIL5fYqCEO422d2sCXJG77v-WsJX2csusMAHOLxKEUcvIQWYLI4TW0ARBUnxkT_DEQa9KgmuN2fiT1g-/s141/MaxYasgur.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="141" data-original-width="121" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihwAgQU_DAE72u4el0JdJBib1sO2wSnqZDQjLFbzNDLX4xp0Gj_FnJrdWOfw55tIL5fYqCEO422d2sCXJG77v-WsJX2csusMAHOLxKEUcvIQWYLI4TW0ARBUnxkT_DEQa9KgmuN2fiT1g-/d/MaxYasgur.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Max Yasgur</td></tr></tbody></table><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="" style="color: #130101; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Yasgur would later be immortalized in Joni
Mitchell’s classic song, made famous by CSNY, <i>Woodstock</i>.<br />
<br />
I came upon a child of God,<br />
He was walking along the road<br />
And I asked him, "Where are you going?"<br />
And this he told me...<br />
<br />
I'm going on down to Yasgur's Farm,<br />
I'm gonna join in a rock and roll band.<br />
I'm gonna camp out on the land.<br />
I'm gonna get my soul free.<br />
<br />
<b>Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young are Scared Shitless</b> (Sunday, 5:13
PM)<br />
Although all four were seasoned concert performers with other bands, this was
only the second time that CSNY had played in front of people and the crowd
happened to be 400,000. After finishing their opening number, <i>Suite:
Judy Blue Eyes</i>, Stephen Stills admits, “Thank you, we needed that.
This is the second time we've ever played in front of people, man. We're scared
shitless."<br />
<br />
<b>Emcee, Chip Monck, Closes the Festival</b> (Sunday, 8:35 PM)<br />
Chip Monck was the voice of Woodstock. His voice filled the void between
sets with announcements, messages, directions, and warnings about the brown
acid. He worked relentlessly all three days. The thing is that he
was hired to build and operate the stage lighting for the event. After he
designed and built it, the location of the concert changed, and the stage was
built to different specifications to accommodate the new space. The new
roof over the stage was not compatible with the lighting design Monck had
worked ten weeks building. There was no stage lighting at
Woodstock. Only follow spots, operated from those towers that ironically
Monck kept warning people about all weekend long.<br />
<br />
Michael Lang realized at the last minute that he never hired an emcee, but
there was Chip Monck, a man he had already paid $7000 and who no longer had a
function. Thus, Woodstock became the only concert in history to have the
lighting director supplying some of the most famous quotes.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

that was recruited to help with running the festival. It would obviously
take a lot of people to work the event and that was where the Hog Farm came
in. They set up a lot of the grounds that were not part of the stage and
ran a “Free Kitchen” to feed festival goers. They were also charged with
the task of providing security, which hit them completely by surprise.
They decided on a friendly approach and dubbed themselves the “Please
Force.” Their approach to security was to ask people nicely, “Please
don’t do that.”<br />
<br />
The picture above shows some of the hog farmers arriving in their psychedelic
school bus. Looking at the front grill, it seems to be late a 1930s or
early 1940s model. Today it might be considered a valuable antique, but
in 1969 it was just a 25-30-year-old clunker. In many ways, the Hog Farm
bus has become a Woodstock icon.<br />
<br />
Their leader was a man named “Hugh Romney,” who is better known as “Wavy
Gravy.” His part in the concert, and his subsequent appearance in the
Woodstock film, made him something of a hippie celebrity, so much so that Ben
& Jerry even named an Ice Cream flavor after him. He did not get his
famous nickname until shortly after the Woodstock concert. The moniker
was given to him by the one and only B.B. King at a concert later that year.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsNr0DV3xaLCpOkLPbGR0-TsPoblqHFXeDVvGvaF5vOSj8qwHvZZZlvO034XZKf_JKIDQxSrpMNTUk3kPxdbfRw48SbjllEQiIxKI6IjNgpnpOhVMuGz6G0wFq-3a4U5rZx4c7_EuWqZbR/s175/BenJerry.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="175" data-original-width="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsNr0DV3xaLCpOkLPbGR0-TsPoblqHFXeDVvGvaF5vOSj8qwHvZZZlvO034XZKf_JKIDQxSrpMNTUk3kPxdbfRw48SbjllEQiIxKI6IjNgpnpOhVMuGz6G0wFq-3a4U5rZx4c7_EuWqZbR/s0/BenJerry.jpg" /></a></div><span face="" style="color: #130101; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><br /></span><p></p></div><span face="" style="color: #130101; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"></span><p></p>Sue Mowadenghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13282060551744449456noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2985757637621409805.post-48709823997920169592020-07-25T20:51:00.001-07:002020-07-25T20:51:54.183-07:00Tribute to Peter Green: Fleetwood Mac in Concert<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">I learned the sad news this afternoon that Peter Green,
the founder of Fleetwood Mac had passed this morning.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He was 73 years old.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not many people seem to be aware, but
Fleetwood Mac began in the ‘60s as a Blues band.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I tell that story in a blog post back in
2011, found here: <a href="http://smowadeng.blogspot.com/2011/07/fleetwood-mac.html" target="_blank">Fleetwood Mac</a>.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Since tomorrow night is the last Sunday of the month and
I usually play a concert, I thought it would be a fitting tribute to do a
Fleetwood Mac concert.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The only one I
have featuring Peter Green was the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, California,
on 25 January 1969.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The picture of Peter
Green above was taken at that show.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Peter
Green would leave Fleetwood Mac in 1970.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The problem using that concert for my set tomorrow is
that the performance is only 43 minutes long, far short of the two hours I need
to fill.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I looked at other Mac concerts
and I soon noticed that I had one that filled the space close to
perfectly.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It also happened to be my
favorite Fleetwood Mac concert.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was
the last concert ever played by the classic lineup of the late ‘70s, Mick
Fleetwood, John McVie, Christie McVie, Lindsay Buckingham, and Stevie
Nicks.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I add this concert to the set and
I now have just over 2 hours and should only go less than 5 minutes over.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This concert was actually a reunion, ten years after they
went their separate ways.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They got
together for a single live performance on 23 May 1997, in Burbank,
California.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What made this show
remarkable was the encore.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">After finishing <i>Go Your Own Way</i>, each band member
says good night and exits the stage.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
house lights stay down and the crowd roars for an encore.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then in the darkness, drumming can be heard.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mick Fleetwood had returned to the drums and
was playing the opening beats of <i>Tusk</i>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The rest of the band comes back on stage and joins in.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The crowd is so mesmerized that no one noticed what was
happening behind them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The USC Marching
Band had lined up at the top of each of the aisles.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The USC Marching band had made a guest
appearance on the studio record of this song back in 1979.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As Fleetwood went into a drum solo, the band descended
down all of the aisles, marching double-time, amid the spectators.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Most were startled or taken by surprise.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>First the USC drumline joined in with
Fleetwood’s drumming.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then the rest of
the band joined in, reprising their part of 18 years earlier.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It was one of those moments in Rock history where if you
witnessed it, every hair on your body stood on end.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The entire auditorium was charged with
electricity and Fleetwood Mac and the USC Marching Band played on stage
together.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But they were not done!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">After <i>Tusk</i> ends, Christie McVie can be heard to
say, “I’ve never done this one with a brass section before.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They then went into <i>Don’t Stop</i>, one of
their biggest hits ever.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The USC Band
stayed on stage and did it with them, playing and dancing along.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Halfway through the song, the members of
Fleetwood Mac began to put down their instruments, one-by-one, and slowly leave
the stage, eventually leaving the USC Marching Band to finish the song without
them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mick Fleetwood was the last to
exit the stage and the classic lineup of Fleetwood Mac had played their final
notes together.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We will relive those moments at the end of tomorrow’s
concert.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Join us tomorrow at AWT, 7-9 PM, as I first Play a
Fleetwood Mac concert from 1969 as a tribute to the late Peter Green, and then
a second Fleetwood Mac concert, one of their best, ever.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Hope to see you there.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Today’s set is an idea or request from Kita. We were talking a few days back and she
suggested I do a set of old commercials.
I occasionally throw in an old commercial and I think that gave her the
idea. I figured a two-hour segment of just
commercials would go over like a turd in the punch bowl, so instead, I decided
to just add the commercials between the songs of a regular show.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A couple of months ago, I started a new program where on
the last Sunday of the month, I play an entire concert, as it happened.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is not just a compilation of live
recordings but an actual place and date, reconstructed historically with the actual
recordings.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have already done this
yearly with Woodstock and now I can take you back to other places and times
like you were there.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I guess I was destined to do this one from the
start.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Concert for Bangladesh is
largely forgotten today but it was one of the most pivotal events that would
change the music industry forever.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It
all started with this hand painted sign in front of Madison Square Garden, in
New York City, back in 1971.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In 1970, the Bhola cyclone (a hurricane in that part of
the world) struck East Pakistan, causing massive devastation and creating a
great humanitarian plight.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is still
the deadliest tropical cyclone ever recorded, killing 300,000 to 500,000
people.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If that wasn’t enough, 1970 also
saw the beginning of Pakistan’s genocide against the Bengali people.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Those that weren’t killed, were left starving
in the wake of the cyclone.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In March of
1971, the Pakistani government launched Operation Searchlight against the
people of East Pakistan and President Yahya Khan said, “Kill three million of
them and the rest will eat out of our hands.”</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It is estimated that up to 3 million people were killed
and that 10 million fled over the border into India and the humanitarian crisis
took an unprecedented toll.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>George Harrison,
a former Beatle, had strong ties to India and was deeply moved by what he was
witnessing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Harrison had traveled to
India to learn the Sitar back in 1966 and was a student of the great sitar
master, Ravi Shankar.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you recall my
Woodstock recreations, Ravi Shankar played the festival in 1969.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Harrison and Shankar knew they had to do
something.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">

<h3 class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The Concert</span></h3>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Other concerts of this kind would have a line-up of
artists and each would play a set during the show.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Concert for Bangladesh was different in
that all the invited artists would form a single “super group” on stage.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ravi Shankar was an exception to this and did
an Indian music set at the beginning of the show, usually referred to as “part
one.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After Shankar, the “super group’
took to the stage and played the entire “part two” together with a couple of
exceptions noted below.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Here was the
line-up…</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>George Harrison (guitar): </b>Harrison was a former
Beatle and organizer for this concert.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Besides being good friends with Ravi Shankar, he was also close to Eric
Clapton.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After securing his commitment,
he made his plea to other artists.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So
moving was his pitch, many artists cancelled paying gigs to be there to donate
their performance to the cause.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Eric Clapton (guitar): </b>Clapton was very sick the
day of the concert with heroin withdrawal, but he wasn’t about to let his
friend, George, down or the people of Bangladesh.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He took the stage despite his illness and
still did a moving rendition of <i>While My Guitar Gently Weeps</i>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He had originally appeared as a guest artist
on the recording of that song for the Beatles <i>White Album</i>.</span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Ringo Starr (drums): </b>Ringo is also a former
Beatle.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He was spotlighted and did his
song, <i>It Don’t Come Easy</i>, which was currently topping the charts.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It would reach #4 in both the United States
and the UK.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Author, Nicholas Schaffner,
was in the audience and reported that Starr’s rendition of his current hit
received the “biggest ovation” of the show.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The addition of Billy Preston’s organ and Clapton’s distinct guitar
makes this version a real treat.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’ve
always been amazed at Ringo’s ability to both drum and sing at the same time.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Billy Preston (Hammond Organ): </b>Preston was a
notable studio musician, and did work for the Beatles, before becoming a Grammy
winning artist himself.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He was a
prolific songwriter and is credited with co-writing <i>You Are so Beautiful</i>
for Joe Cocker.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Leon Russell (bass/piano): </b>He was probably one of
the most prolific musical collaborators in the industry and toured with
hundreds of artists.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He also recorded
and performed on his own and his music crossed all genres including rock, soul,
country, gospel and even surf, to name but a few.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He also wrote a song for Joe Cocker, <i>Delta
Lady</i>.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Bob Dylan (guitar): </b>This man needs no introduction
but the story of his appearance here is one of the highlights of the concert
you will hear.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Harrison had worked on
getting Dylan to come out of his seclusion and do the benefit.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Dylan had been in a motorcycle accident in
1966 and completely withdrew from public appearance.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Some have even theorized that the “accident” was just an excuse for him
to escape the public eye.</span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Harrison had taped the set list to the back of his guitar
and had just written “Bob?” at the point in the show where Dylan was scheduled.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He was supposed to come on in the middle as a
surprise, but Harrison had his doubts that Dylan would come through.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It wasn’t until he saw him in the wing that
he knew he would show.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All of the concert promotions just said "George Harrison and Friends,"so no one knew who was appearing. When Dylan took the stage for
the first time in five years, it was a surprise to the audience.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>During the concert on Sunday you will hear
that electric moment as the crowd goes wild when Dylan steps on the stage to
join the “super group.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Badfinger: </b>Who better to round out the sound and
add some more depth than the band that had been so closely compared to the
Beatles themselves.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In fact, they were
signed to Apple Records.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My favorite
moment in the concert came when George Harrison and <b>Pete Ham</b> of
Badfinger did a song that was my favorite Beatles song done by
my favorite Beatle George.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He and Pete
Ham did a moving rendition of <i>Here Comes the Sun</i> on two acoustic
guitars.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There were no drums or other
accompaniment other than the Soul Choir doing backing vocals.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>The Hollywood Horns: </b>Additional session musicians.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>The Soul Choir: </b>Backing vocals.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Legacy</span></h3>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">After Operation Searchlight the previous March,
Bangladesh officially declared their independence from Pakistan, beginning the Bangladesh
Liberation War.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The war waged on,
further contributing to the humanitarian crisis, as Harrison and friends
performed their relief concert in New York on August 1, 1971.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The following December, India officially
recognized Bangladesh and went to war with Pakistan to defend her.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Indian Prime Minister, Indira Gandhi, had
decided that it was in India’s best interest to go to war with Pakistan in consideration of the 10 million refugees crossing their border.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Bangladesh was now an independent country.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">While all of this was going on, the release of the album
was hung up by record company greed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
musicians had donated their performances for the relief of the people of
Bangladesh and Apple records was donating the manufacturing and packaging for
free.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Somehow, Capitol Records insisted
that it be compensated to the tune of $400,000 (over 2.5 million in today’s
dollars) for “production costs.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Harrison thought that everyone else was giving and that Capitol should
be charitable too, but they weren’t backing down.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Neither was Harrison.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Capitol
took a beating in the press and eventually did back down and settled for 25<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">¢</span>
from each album sale.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The album was
finally released on December 20, four days after the Pakistani military
surrendered to the Bangladesh-India Allied Forces.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A few weeks later, a 13-year-old DJ Sue went to the
record store and paid her $12.98 (a lot of money back then), knowing that she
was helping to feed the starving people of Bangladesh.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In the early ‘70s, $13.5 million was raised
for humanitarian relief for the people of Bangladesh through the concert, album
and movie.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In 1990, ownership rights to the music,
films and recordings were transferred to UNICEF and by that time the effort had
made about $45 million.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There would be
no more record company greed as UNICEF now owned the concert outright, along with all money generated.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The Concert for Bangladesh continues to make money today
for relief in Bangladesh as the “George Harrison Fund
for UNICEF.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was the first ever
endeavor of its kind and other such benefit concerts like Live Aid, Farm Aid,
the Secret Policeman’s Ball, etc. owe their existence to the prototype, the
Concert for Bangladesh.</span></div>

memorable events in music history.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If
you really want to fully relive the experience, consider donating $25, the cost
of a ticket in 1971, to the George Harrison Fund for UNICEF.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The link is below…</span><br />

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
This weekend we are doing Woodstock ’94, just like we do the regular concert from 1969.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have put together the set list and built a new stage like the one at Woodstock '94.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Actually, there were two stages at this event, the North and South Stages.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have reproduced the South Stage for no other reasons than there were better photos of the banners and setup online.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
I don’t have nearly as much of the 1994 concert as I do the 1969 one.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I only have about 16 hours compared to 26 hours of the original Woodstock.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I will be presenting this weekend but I do have some real life that is in the way but we can still do this.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I will stil play the concert in order but when I’m done with the Friday recordings on Friday night, we’ll continue and play a substantial portion of Saturday.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On Saturday, I’ll continue where we left off but I’ll only stream a couple of hours.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Finally, I’ll finish the Saturday bands first thing on Sunday and then finish with the entire Sunday band list.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Again, it will still all be in historical order but not necessarily on the right days.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
One thing to note about this is that I was actually at Woodstock ’94 from the beginning through to the end.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I will be posting to my blog about my experience and I hope that post is ready before the concert starts on Friday but either way, I will lend my own unique personal prospective to this one.</div>

<b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">50th Anniversary! 1969-2019</span></span></span></b></div>
<br />
It is time for Woodstock at AWT and it will be held this weekend, August 16, 17 and 18. This has become something of a tradition at AWT and we do it every August now. This year is the 50th anniversay of the festival and we are lucky because a good number of artists have released their sets to celebrate. I have taken advantage of this and I now have 26 hours of the concert. Considering there were only 35 hours and 53 minutes of music recorded that weekend (the whole concert except three songs was recorded directly from the sound board), I now have 73% of the concert; that's almost ¾ of the concert! I will play it this weekend over the three days in its historical order<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">If you visit <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/A%20Womans%20Touch/88/165/24" target="_blank">AWT</a> this week, you will see it slowly transform</span></span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> into the concert grounds as the stage and other facilities take shape. In the past couple of years I have begun to further capture the feel by controling the time of day (day/night) on the sim to match what it was during that point of the concert we experience at AWT. I have also included things like sunny vs. overcast, rain, and other things. These have been refined even further this year. This is truly as close as we can get to attending the actual 1969 event.<br />
</span></span><br />
</span>If you missed the original in 1969, this might just be your best chance to experience the original Woodstock in cyberspace with us at AWT. A number of people who attended in the past have said that in a way they now felt like they were there. Below, you will not only find the schedule and times, but I have printed the entire set lists for this weekend. Furthermore, if you scroll past the massive set list, you will find interesting moments you will hear this weekend, like when the Dead blow their amplifiers or Pete Townsend of the Who hits Abbie Hoffman over the head with his guitar. Each event is explained and an approximate to the minute time that you will hear it this weekend. <span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";"><br />
<br />
</span>So pack up your car or micro-bus. Drive as far as you can down the SL Thruway, then abandon your car and hike the rest of the way to <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/A%20Womans%20Touch/88/165/24" target="_blank">a Woman’s Touch</a>. When you get here, the chain link fence is down on the west side of the concert field. It’s a free concert. Roll out your sleeping bag and enjoy the Woodstock Music and Arts Fair, an Aquarian Exposition: 3 Days of Peace & Music.<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";"><br />

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><u>Notable Incidents You Will Hear This Weekend</u></b><u> (All times are in SL time this weekend.) </u><br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Arlo Guthrie’s Microphone</b> (Friday, 7:40 PM)<br />
Arlo Guthrie starts off his set with <i>Coming Into Los Angeles</i> but there is just one problem. You can’t hear the vocals. There was trouble with his microphone and it wasn’t until about a minute into his first song that the engineers fixed the problem. You can barely hear him singing, probably through the microphone set up to pick up his guitar. Despite the problem, this song did make the movie and the first soundtrack album released in 1970. The song was begun in the middle, after the solo, going into the refrain. Thus, the flawed part was edited out and only the second half of the song is used. We will hear it in its entirety, failure and all.<br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Country Joe McDonald Stalls for Time</b> (Saturday, 11:18 AM)<br />
Joe McDonald was the front man for the band, Country Joe and the Fish. After Quill finished their set, Santana was not ready to take the stage for theirs. McDonald was reluctantly recruited to go on stage and do a few songs solo to placate the crowd. He was not prepared to go on alone so he used the excuse that he had no guitar. One was located backstage, so he then used the excuse that he had no guitar strap. A piece of rope was tied to the guitar and he had run out of excuses. Joe McDonald improvised a solo set and it included one of the most memorable moments of the weekend. He got the crowd worked up. “Give me an F… Give me a U… Give me a C… Give me a K… What’s that spell? [FUCK] What’s that spell? [FUCK]…<br />
<br />
Yeah, c’mon on all you big strong men,<br />
Uncle Sam needs your help again.<br />
He’s got himself in a terrible jam<br />
way down yonder in Vietnam,<br />
so put down your books and pick up a gun.<br />
We’re gonna have a whole lot of fun.<br />
And it’s 1, 2, 3, what’re we fighting for?<br />
Don’t ask me, I don’t give a damn;<br />
next stop is Vietnam.<br />
<br />
Part way through the song he addresses the crowd. “Listen people, I don't know how you expect to ever stop the war if you can't sing any better than that. There's about 300,000 of you fuckers out there…”</div>

<b>Bob Hite of Canned Heat has to Pee</b> (Saturday, 1:37 PM)<br />
Canned Heat took the stage and lead singer, Bob Hite, after the first song announced to the crowd, “…There is only one thing I wish, I sure gotta pee!” It was a direct reference to the lack of adequate sanitary facilities at the concert. It should also be noted that just before introducing them, Chip Monck, the emcee, remarked about how well they were holding up with the help of the US Army.<b> </b><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";"><br />
<br />
</span><b>The Grateful Dead are Delayed</b> (Saturday, 3:56 PM)<br />
The Grateful Dead were supposed to take the stage after Mountain. Well, several things kept that from happening. First, the switching between bands was supposed to be facilitated by a turntable type stage. While one band was on stage (in front), they could be setting up the next one backstage. The mechanism failed and they had to manual set up the Grateful Dead’s stage. Furthermore, the stage had flooded due to rain and this was causing all sorts of grounding issues and there were safety concerns.</div>

<b>The Grateful Dead End Early</b> (Saturday, 5:05 PM)<br />
The fear about the water and electrical systems may have been well founded. As they ended a monster rendition (over 37 minutes long) of <i>Turn on Your Love Light</i>, a loud bang can be heard as they blew their stage amplifiers and had to end their set early.<b> </b><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";"><br />
<br />
</span><b>Abbie Hoffman Crashes the Stage on the Who</b> (Saturday, 8:32 PM)<br />
Abbie Hoffman was a notable 60’s activist and radical who was always controversial and often in trouble with the law. Between Sly and the Family Stone and the Who, Hoffman had addressed the “politics of the situation” with an angry rant (Saturday, 7:54 PM) about the plight of John Sinclair, manager of Detroit rock band, the MC5. Sinclair was serving a ten year prison term in Michigan for possessing two joints of marijuana. (I wrote about the MC5 and John Sinclair, the whole mess, <a href="http://smowadeng.blogspot.com/2018/05/the-mc5.html" target="_blank">here</a>.) After the Who was part of the way through their set and tuning their instruments after <i>Pinball Wizard</i>, Hoffman crashed the stage, taking the microphone from Roger Daltry. He began another stoned rant about Sinclair saying, “I think this is a pile of shit while John Sinclair rots in prison.” Pete Townsend then attacked Hoffman, hitting him over the head with his guitar. Townsend can plainly be heard saying, “Fuck! Off my fucking stage!” The Who then went on to <i>Do You Think It's Alright</i>.<b> </b><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";"><br />
<br />
</span><b>Breakfast in Bed for 400,000</b> (Saturday, 11:39 AM)<br />
Sunday morning, after Jefferson Airplane had finished their set, Hog Farm leader, Wavy Gravy (Hugh Romney), took to the stage and addressed the crowd. “What we have in mind is breakfast in bed for 400,000.”<b> </b><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";"><br />
<br />
</span><b>Max Yasgur Addresses the Crowd</b> (Saturday, 11:43 AM)<br />
When the original location for the festival fell through, weeks before the concert, Max Yasgur, a local dairy farmer, made his 600 acre farm available. It was only fitting that he got his few minutes of fame and got to address the crowd. An older looking man, who looked very out of place, wearing black plastic rimmed glasses, took the stage. There was no less hip person in the place, yet he sang the praises of the concert attendees. It was another wonderful Woodstock moment. Joe Cocker took the stage after him and dedicated his first song to him. “And we’re going to do this um this little number to start off with, the title suggests that farming guy who just came out, did you see that nice little bloke…"</div>

Yasgur would later be immortalized in Joni Mitchell’s classic song, made famous by CSNY, Woodstock.<br />
<br />
I came upon a child of God,<br />
He was walking along the road<br />
And I asked him, "Where are you going?"<br />
And this he told me...<br />
<br />
I'm going on down to Yasgur's Farm,<br />
I'm gonna join in a rock and roll band.<br />
I'm gonna camp out on the land.<br />
I'm gonna get my soul free.<br />

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young are Scared Shitless</b> (Sunday, 5:13 PM)<br />
Although all four were seasoned concert performers with other bands, this was only the second time that CSNY had played in front of people and the crowd happened to be 400,000. After finishing their opening number, <i>Suite: Judy Blue Eyes</i>, Stephen Stills admits, “Thank you, we needed that. This is the second time we've ever played in front of people, man. We're scared shitless."<br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Emcee, Chip Monck, Closes the Festival</b> (Sunday, 8:35 PM)<br />
Chip Monck was the voice of Woodstock. His voice filled the void between sets with announcements, messages, directions and warnings about the brown acid. He worked relentlessly all three days. The thing is that he was hired to build and operate the stage lighting for the event. After he designed and built it, the location of the concert changed and the stage was built to different specifications to accommodate the new space. The new roof over the stage was not compatible with the lighting design Monck had worked ten weeks building. There was actually no stage lighting at Woodstock. Only follow spots, operated from those towers that ironically Monck kept warning people about all weekend long.<br />
<br />
Michael Lang realized at the last minute that he never hired an emcee, but there was Chip Monck, a man he had already paid $7000 and who no longer had a function. Thus, Woodstock became the only concert in history to have the lighting director supplying some of the most famous quotes.</div>

What the Hell is the Hog Farm?</h3>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
There are numerous references to the Hog Farm, such as when a small child was lost and stage manager, John Morris, instructs the child, wherever he may be, to go up the hill and find a hog farmer. The “farmer” would reunite him with his mother, interestingly named “Sunshine.” (You can hear this incident Friday night during our set at about 7:56 PM SL time.) So, who are these hog farmers?</div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
The Hog Farm was a west coast hippie commune that was recruited to help with running the festival. It would obviously take a lot of people to work the event and that was where the Hog Farm came in. They set up a lot of the grounds that were not part of the stage and also ran a “free kitchen” to feed festival goers. They were also charged with the task of providing security, which hit them completely by surprise. They decided on a friendly approach and dubbed themselves the “Please Force.” Their approach to security was to ask people nicely, “Please don’t do that.”<br />
<br />
The picture at the top shows some of the hog farmers arriving in their psychedelic school bus. Looking at the front grill, it seems to be late a 1930s or early 1940s model. Today it might be considered a valuable antique, but in 1969 it was just a 25-30 year old clunker. In many ways, the Hog Farm bus has become a Woodstock icon in its own right.<br />
<br />
Their leader was a man named “Hugh Romney,” who is better known as “Wavy Gravy.” His part in the concert, and his subsequent appearance in the Woodstock film, made him something of a hippie celebrity, so much so that Ben & Jerry even named an Ice Cream flavor after him. He actually did not get his famous nickname until shortly after the Woodstock concert. The moniker was given to him by the one and only B.B. King at a concert later that year.</div>

My earliest memories concerned the moon. I recall riding
in a car at night and watching as the moon followed me to our destination.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It appeared to move with us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When we came back out to the car, the moon
was up there in the sky, waiting to follow me home.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I knew it was me that was special.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If I stayed home, the moon would remain
outside my window over my yard.</div>

I was 10 years old when Apollo 11 took place.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I had grown up a bit and understood the folly
of my earlier beliefs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Now I was old
enough to understand science and read and going to the moon gripped me with a
fascination and thirst beyond most everyone around me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My father saw this and managed somehow to get
me an Apollo 11 Press Kit.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I studied it
until I knew everything about the mission.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I knew the difference between TLI and LOI.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was ready and sat glued to the TV for a

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Spring is here and the last thing on everyone’s mind is Halloween.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That is everyone except me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Next month I need to begin work on this year’s, “Tenth Annual DJ Sue’s Monster Mashup,” if I’m to be sure to finish it in time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That’s right; as most of you know, each year I create a two hour long mashup for Halloween.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A “mashup” is where a DJ takes elements from one song, maybe vocals, and combines them with elements from other songs, like music, to make a new song.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
The term “Monster Mashup” has double meaning.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The obvious one is its connection with the song quoted at the beginning, the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Monster Mash</i>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In that context it is a dance done by the monsters in that song.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The other meaning is that it is a monster of a mashup.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In other words, this mashup is a beast.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is a single, two hour mp3.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Maybe that meaning is only obvious to me as I labor for several months putting it together.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
So what is it exactly?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is really a series of mashups mashed together into one big mashup.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Along with the mashups, I mash in additional sound effects, theatrical pieces, song elements and the occasional untouched song.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The fact that it is one big mashup of mashups adds a third level of meaning to the term, “Monster Mashup.”</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
One thing I’d like to stress is that not all of the mashups I use are mine.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The majority of them are by other DJs but some are my own creations.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The final product is mashed together by me with all of the elements mentioned above.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
It’s hard to believe that this will be my tenth this year. The first year I did it, it didn’t look anything like it does today.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In fact, the “mashup” element didn’t really exist.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was simply called, “DJ Sue’s Monster Mash.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was a regular DJ show of Halloween appropriate songs like Michael Jackson’s <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Thriller</i> and Warren Zevon’s <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Werewolves of London</i>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I embellished the fades and mixes with some spooky sound effects and stuff.</div>

In 2011, I did my second year and you can see from the poster above, that I had referred to it as a “Monster Mash-up.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I had intended for the “mashup” part to be a one-time gimmick and go back to calling it the “Monster Mash” the following year.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
I had the idea in September and I worked furiously to prepare.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It eventually grew to a long list of mp3’s (music or sound files) and a clipboard full of written instructions that looked something like this:</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">With 28 seconds left, start Thriller, allow last song to fade.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">At 1:28 start thunderstorm #2 on deck #3</i></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Cue C. Daniels on deck #4 to 1:45, play to 1:53, loop 4 measures, beat match and fade in</i></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Cue Ghostbusters on deck #2, change beats per minute to 128</i></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">With 28 seconds left, start deck #2, beat match @128, leave decks 3&4</i></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
In reality, my shorthand looked more like this for the same steps I just described:</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">@28 sec Thriller</i></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">@1:28 thunder2 deck3</i></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">DevilGeorge on 4 to 1:45, @1:53 loop 4 fade</i></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Ghostbusters on 2 to 128 bpm</i></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">@28 sec Ghostbusters match leave 3&4</i></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
I completed the two hour show and even rehearsed it once.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Those close to me knew what I was doing, including my then SL wife, Autumn Spice. When her friends’ club suddenly needed a DJ for their annual Halloween bash, I was asked if I could do my mashup show twice.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I knew many people would be at both the Friday show (see poster below) and the Monday show (Halloween) so I decided to make up a second one on a second clipboard.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I used about half of the show I already had but I also used stuff I had prepared but didn’t need the first time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These shows were big hits at both SL’s Metro Club and at a Woman’s Touch.</div>

After the reactions to the two 2011 mashups, I had to do one for 2012.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was this time out that the final change was made and they took their final form, still used today, and we have Hurricane Sandy to thank for it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Maybe it’s best that I tell this story as a timeline.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>From the poster below, you can see that the Mashup was scheduled for Wednesday, October 31, 2012. I live three miles from the water on the New Jersey Coast.</div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><u>Saturday, October 27:</u></b> I had been watching the Hurricane and its projected path, realizing that it could hit and cause issues with the live Mashup if I were to lose power for a day or so.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I had a great idea.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Since I was planning to rehearse the Mashup on my day off, Saturday, I would flip on the record button and record the rehearsed set. This way, I could give it to Ashra and she could play it on schedule on Halloween if I was unable to log on due to the storm.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My rehearsal was flawless and recorded. The resulting mp3 was 2 hours, 0 minutes and 51 seconds long.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><u>Sunday, October 28:</u></b> I shared my plan with Ashra and she agreed. We even came up with the idea that I’d make a life-sized cardboard cutout of myself that she could put behind the DJ booth.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Alas, the file was too big to email so it never happened.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Knowing the Hurricane was about 24 hours out and I was not scheduled to do a show on Monday, I logged out of my show Sunday night playing as my last song <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Riding the Storm Out</i> by REO Speedwagon.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was still under the impression that I’d make it on Wednesday and be able to do the Mashup live.</div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><u>Monday, October 29:</u></b> Sandy made landfall before midnight.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I had already lost power about an hour before.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Through previous hurricanes and what not, I’d rarely lost power and if I did, it was never out for more than a couple of hours. I went to bed confident I’d still make my Monster Mashup just less than two days away.</div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><u>Tuesday, October 30:</u></b> The Governor put the estimates to restore power to most people at about a week. For the first time I began to consider, I might not make my Monster Mashup on Halloween.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I counted my blessings.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A couple miles down the road there were homes that were completely destroyed. I emailed people in SL to let them know I was well.</div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><u>Wednesday, October 31:</u></b> Still widely regarded today as the “Halloween that never was.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There was NO trick-or-treating anywhere. I sat at home that night, reading a book by candle light and eating the Snickers bars intended for the trick-or-treaters.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The time for my Monster Mashup came and went and I thought about everyone in SL.</div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><u>Friday, November 9:</u></b> After ten days without power, the lights came back on thanks to crews from Ontario, Canada working in my neighborhood.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was able to log into Second Life and many warm welcomes that evening.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Maya Shadowhawk decided to throw a “Welcome Back Sue” party the following day at her Castle on Park Place.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Everyone knew I had prepared the Monster Mashup and asked if I could play it then.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><u>Saturday, November 10:</u></b> I had thought the whole time that the Mashup would not be played this year and I would just save it for the following year.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Instead, ten days after Halloween I got to play my Mashup.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s a lot of work doing it live and I really wanted to relax and visit with my friends, who were just filled with questions about the storm.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In what I saw as a moment of weakness at the time, I played the prerecorded mp3 instead of doing it live.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As a DJ, I had cued each song and started it at the precise moment I chose.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I shuddered at the thought of a prerecorded DJ show.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Maya and others convinced me that I had put in so much work into it that it was definitely not cheating.</div>

The Reaper struck early this year and claimed <u>Ray Thomas</u>, flutist of the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Moody Blues</b> on January 4<sup>th</sup>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have been a fan since the ’60s, and I have seen the Moodies in concert, with Ray Thomas, more than any other band.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One of my favorite MB songs is one that Ray sang instead of Justin Hayward, their normal lead singer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was written by Thomas and called “<i>Legend of a Mind</i>,” though most people improperly call it, “<i>Timothy Leary’s Dead</i>.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When they’d did it live, the rest of the band would fade to the back and Ray would take the spotlight, not only singing but also playing magnificent flute solos.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I saw him do it live several times, and I was in the audience one of the last times he ever did it live in 1999, in Holmdel, NJ.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I will open the show this year with a live recording similar to his performance that night.</div>

<![endif]--><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #990000;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">Again, the criterion for making the list is that I must know the musician and/or his music. <b>Mac Miller</b> did not make the list initially but fate has a strange way of working. Since I published this post, I received a request for a Mac Miller song, <i>Donald Trump</i>. I didn’t have it but like I do with all unfulfilled requests, I looked him up and became familiar with him. I also learned that he had died this past year, thus completing the criteria for making the list, just in time. He also has the distinction of being the youngest to make it by far at age 26. If I had known of him when I made my collage at the top, I undoubtedly would have included him, so I put his picture by itself at the bottom. A note on his song, <i>Donald Trump</i>, it was released five years before he ran for President and has no political meaning. He simply refers to him as a filthy rich real estate mogul and makes him representative of that lifestyle that he wishes to attain.</span></span> </span></span></div>

<span style="color: #990000;">I awoke New Year's morning to an email alerting to the death of <u>Ray Sawyer</u> of <b>Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show</b>. He was not their main lead singer but he stepped to the forefront and sang their biggest hit, <i>On the Cover of the Rolling Stone</i>. His unique look, with hat and eye patch, lead to his becoming the face of the band; he became Dr. Hook. He lost an eye in a car accident in 1967, after quitting the music industry. The incident drove him back to music and the success of Dr. Hook. They had a fair number of hits including <i>On Cover of the Rolling Stone</i>, which reached #3 in the United States in 1973.</span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
On December 25<sup>th</sup>, from 7:00 to 9:00 PM, we will be having a Vampire Christmas at AWT.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Many of you don’t believe that there is a connection between Christmas and vampires.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What if I were to tell you that Santa Claus is a vampire?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Think about it, he has been around for hundreds of years and is basically immortal.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Have you ever notice that he only travels the world at night, one night a year to be precise, and he is always home before dawn?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is well known that vampires can only enter homes that they have been invited into.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Have you noticed all the letters that Santa gets from children around the world?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He visits those homes and only those homes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>No letter inviting Santa to come, along with a list of gifts, no visit from Santa.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
At our show, Christmas Night, We will celebrate a Dark Christmas together.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Remember that “dark” does not mean “evil.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We even have Santa’s coffin, and you may say hello to him while he rests after his extensive journey the night before.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So come on by for a Gothic Christmas at a Woman’s Touch on Christmas Night.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<u>A Visit from Vampire Santa</u> (from 2013)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
(With apologies to Clement Clark Moore)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
T’was the night before Christmas, when all cross the sim</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Not an avatar was stirring, not even a prim;</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
The missiles were armed with the greatest of care,</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
In hopes that Vampire Santa soon would be there;</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
The mortals were nestled all snug in their beds,</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
While nightmares of Santa danced in their heads;</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
And Des with her mallet, and me with my stake,</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Begun our long winter vigil and must stay awake,</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Away to the window I flew like a flash,</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Gave the luster of mid-day to Park Place below,</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
When what to my wondering eyes should appear,</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
But a miniature sleigh, and eight undead reindeer,</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
With a little old driver, so preternatural and quick,</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
I knew in a moment it must be Vamp Nick.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
More rapid than hellhounds his coursers they came,</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name;</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
“Now, Tepis! Now, Soulbane! Now, Dracul and Chillstone!</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
On, Demon! On, Reaper! On, Charon and Deathmoan!</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Now dash away! Dash away! Dash away all!”</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky;</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
So up to the house-top the hell beasts they flew,</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
With the sleigh full of death, and Vamp Kringle too.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
And then, with a thundering, I heard on the roof</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
The prancing and pawing of each cloven hoof.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
As I drew in my head and was turning around,</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Down the chimney, Vamp Santa came with a bound.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot,</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
And his clothes were all tarnished with grave dirt and soot;</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
With an unnatural pallor and death searing eyes,</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
He looked like the Reaper in a jolly disguise.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
And the smoke encircled his head like a mist on the heath;</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
And drained all his victims; then turned with a jerk,</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
And taking his hand and thumbing his nose,</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose;</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a yell,</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
And away they all flew like bats outta Hell,</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Away I ran quickly, down the stairs in a flash,</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Stumbled out the door into the yard with a crash.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
To the missile launcher I headed without missing a beat,</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Armed them; took aim at the sleigh in retreat.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Away they all flew to their target with speed,</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Streaking the sky like a flaming winged steed.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
It lit the night sky as the sleigh burst into flame,</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
And crashed onto the club from whence the smoke came.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Never again shall he slander my name,</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
And say I’ve been naughty and assign me false blame</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
I sat and watched as the flames burned out beyond sight;</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night.</div>

</span>Twelve years is unprecedented and amazing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>AWT has had a long and rather interesting
history covering what could be called four generations of a Woman’s Touch in
Second Life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We will take a look at all
four but first, what if I were to tell you that AWT is really more like
fourteen years old?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>AWT existed for a

AWT has been on Second Life for twelve years but it
didn’t start here.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It originally started
on the Sims Online (TSO).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This online
community was quite primitive when compared with Second Life, but at the heart
were women chatting, visiting and becoming friends.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There were many of the same problems we see
in SL still today, like men harassing women or just being plain annoying,
always trawling for dates.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Women could
go to lesbian clubs in the Sims Online but those often had more of a negative
attitude towards men than a positive one towards women, and often they were
rather political.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>AWT offered an
alternative.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was a place where women
could relax and just be themselves together.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>AWT soon became one of the most popular places in the Sims Online.</div>

So Ashra and Kiee, along with daughter Pebbles, were a
family unit in the old TSO platform.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Pebbles tried out this new thing called Second Life and got Kiee to join
her there one day in the summer of 2006.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

into trying it out.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Soon, Ashra was

The parcel was only about 1/8 the size of the current AWT

wasn’t big by our standards today but it was a start.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was also on the mainland so we had

The place continually evolved but it was clear that in
order to continue to grow that a new location would be necessary.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>SL offered single regions as private islands
and AWT could finally get the access control to better meet its needs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>People who chose to harass residents could
now be banned not only from the parcel, they could not even get close to the

Generation three</h3>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Up until now, each generation has been defined by moving
AWT to a new location.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After it was set
up, it evolved over time to its basic final form.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This was not true of Generation Three.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>AWT and Park Place remained where they were
and it was a complete revamp of the “A Woman’s Touch” sim that defined it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is also different in that it took only a
few weeks for it to reach its basic final form.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>This remake was completed over Labor Day weekend in September of 2010.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
You can see from the “Generation Three” picture above
that there is now a lot of black, white and fuchsia (hot pink) taking up a lot
of the middle of the sim.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This ultra-modern
look was actually in style in SL back in 2010.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The club can be identified by the large fuchsia canopy over the dance
floor towards the left of the picture, which is actually the same canopy from
Generation Two, just repainted.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The rest
towards the center was the new, improved, and extended mall.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Now that the mall overtook the area that the
club had occupied, it became necessary to move the club to its new
location.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This meant that the volcano
had to go.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Another thing happened that first week in September
2010.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ashra hired a fourth and final
manager for AWT management team.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In the
intervening eight years managers have left but no others have been hired.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In those days, Bee Bee Brouwer was the Master
Builder and was responsible for creating the facilities and terraforming.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was her that created the new club and
mall.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Harley Shippe was in charge of the
club and DJ’s.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Feliciana Zabaleta (Maya
Shadowhawk) was the General Manager.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Back in that time, many sims in second life had big
issues with lag and AWT was not an exception.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Those of us, who remember those days, remember having to remove our hair
(and sometimes other items of clothing) in order to teleport onto the sim.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After we arrived we could put our hair back
on.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ashra hired Susan Mowadeng to be the
manager in charge of sim resources.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She
oversaw things like prim counts (now land impact), scripts and server
times.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was Sue’s job to tackle the
lag issues.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Things greatly improved over
the next few weeks and Sue became the fourth manager on the team.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
It was about this time that AWT began being recognized in
the SL Surfing Community as a destination with great waves and a wonderful
surfing experience.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was not unusual
to find big female names in the SL surfing world, surfing at AWT.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
As things were changing on the main sim, they were
changing on Park Place too.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As
Generation Two came to an end, Park Place was already the primary residential
place for AWT, though there were rentals on the main sim too.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The only public place to congregate on Park
Place was a coffee house but it went out of business and closed about the time
Generation Three started.</div>

Generation Four</h3>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Generation Four was a gradual transition over about 18
months.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I will start it here in my story
when the first of these major changes took place.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The black, white and fuchsia club had become
dated after six years and begged to be replaced.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sue put in the current club in November of
2016 and made it look more like the tropical paradise that AWT was originally
intended to be.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This made the old mall
look even more outdated and needing of an upgrade.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sue set her sights on designing one that fit
the footprint and also matched the new club seamlessly.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There was also the added complication of
dealing with all of the shop renters.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Finally, in November 2017, one year after the club’s completion, the new
mall was open and renters started to fill it.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
2018 saw the pool area being redone so it now seamlessly
matched the club.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Off sim scenery was
also added and both sims had upgrades in the area of housing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So, from November of 2016 to the spring of
2018 saw the transition to Generation Four of AWT, our current generation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One other major event happened early in 2018
that defines the transition from one generation to the next.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Maya left as a manager and Ashra made Sue a
co-owner of AWT.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>AWT is now run by two
owners without any managers.</div>

In August of 2018, AWT once again had Woodstock.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A number of years earlier, at the Generation
Three club, we would recreate the concert in the club.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Large pictures of the real life event in
1969 would surround the dance floor.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sue
would play over 20 hours of the original concert that she had recordings for.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In 2017, we had the first Woodstock with the
new club setup, which allowed for easy setup and tear down.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A larger Woodstock experience was created but
it wasn’t until this year it was completed and perfected.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This year, with the Generation Four club, we
created the ultimate Woodstock experience.</div>

The AWT Anniversary</h3>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
So when is our anniversary?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We have historically celebrated it either in
August or September but never on an exact day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I think that is because there was never a single, one day, grand
opening.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was probably a process of
phasing out the old Sims Online as AWT was made up and running in SL.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>People needed to create accounts and move
over to Second Life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was a process
begun in early August of 2006 and finished sometime in September.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In recent years, we seem to opt for the
September celebration more to separate it from Woodstock in August but don’t
forget that we were here in some form in August of 2006.</div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
One of my favorite songs by Queen is <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">’39</i>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I find the music
amazing but it is the lyrics that have astounded me the most.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Most people fail to realize what is really
happening in the song but once I explain it, they seem profoundly affected by
the revelation of what is really happening.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>These conversations and explanations usually happen as the song is
playing and we can’t go back to look at lyrics already past but here I can.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
The song was written by Brian May, guitarist for Queen,
and appears on their 1975 album, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">A Night
at the Opera</i>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What I want to do
today is fully explain <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">’39</i>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I will go through the lyrics and explain them
in detail.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I will go back and compare
and finally, I will print them one last time at the end, in their entirety, so
you can see how it all fits together.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
The first verse starts out with:</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“In the year of '39
assembled here the Volunteers<br />
In the days when lands were few.<br />
Here the ship sailed out into the blue and sunny morn;<br />
Sweetest sight ever seen.”</i></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
It seems simple.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
year is ’39 and due to crowding, there doesn’t seem to be enough land.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A group of volunteers are setting sail to
colonize new lands, maybe in the new world.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The verse continues:</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“And the night
followed day</i></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">And the
storytellers say</i></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">That the score
brave souls inside</i></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">For many a lonely
day sailed across the milky seas</i></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Never looked back,
never feared, never cried.”</i></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
This seems to continue on and fits well with what we
already put together of the story.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We
further learn that there were 20 (a score) and they were brave.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The way the storytellers are referred to gives
us the impressions that this happened in the past and was probably a historical
event of note.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This verse also tells us
that it took “many a lonely day,” or a long time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In the 15<sup>th</sup> and 16<sup>th</sup>
centuries, crossing the ocean did take many days.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
People follow the first verse easy enough; it is when
they hear the chorus that things stop making sense.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Here is the chorus:</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“Don't you hear my
call though you're many years away?</i></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Don't you hear me
calling you?</i></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Write your letters
in the sand</i></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">For the day I take
your hand</i></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">In the land that our
grandchildren knew.”</i></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
The first line could fit in here because these voyages
were often a few years in length; however it is stated a little strangely.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s the last line of the chorus that really
tells the listener that they have missed something.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It says, “In the land that our grandchildren <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><u>knew</u></b>.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Knew?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Past tense?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What is going on
here?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The rest of the song is equally
puzzling and the listener usually gives up trying to figure it out.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
The problem is that we made certain assumptions when we
listened to the first verse.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We assumed
that this was a few hundred years ago and they were crossing the ocean to look
for lands in America.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That is not what
is happening.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This song takes place in
the future.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The crowding and need for
new land is a planetary problem and the volunteers were astronauts looking for
a planet to colonize.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Brian May most
obviously worded his first verse to intentionally mislead the listener.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In essence, he made something of a puzzle to
figure out.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The clues are in the remainder
of the song but before we look at it, let’s take another look at that first
verse.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>By the way, I had a little fun
misleading you with the picture up top too.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“In the year of '39
assembled here the Volunteers<br />
In the days when lands were few.<br />
Here the ship sailed out into the blue and sunny morn;<br />
Sweetest sight ever seen.”</i></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
He just says the “year of ’39,” and never states a
century.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We at first assumed a few
hundred years in the past, but nothing says it couldn’t be a few hundred years
ahead in time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The ship, he doesn’t say
what type, sails into the blue and sunny morn.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Nothing in here that precludes the future.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“And the night
followed day</i></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">And the
storytellers say</i></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">That the score
brave souls inside</i></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">For many a lonely
day sailed across the milky seas</i></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Never looked back,
never feared, never cried.”</i></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Again, nothing here keeps us from believing that it could
be a future trip into space, instead of a past voyage sailing across the sea.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There is even one phrase used, “sailed across
the milky sea,” that may even be more appropriate for a space voyage. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In antiquity, man looked up to the night sky,
observed and named the Milky Way.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All of
the stars of our own galaxy in the sky give the impression of a wide strip of
milk, the “milky seas.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Also,
interstellar travel would take a long time, many years.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Before I explain the rest of the song, I need to discuss
some geeky stuff, but I promise to keep simple.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It is important to understanding this song.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
One consequence of Einstein’s Theory of Relativity is
time dilation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In simple terms, if an
astronaut leaves the earth and travels at a very high rate of speed through
space, when he returns he might only have experienced a few months or a year but
for everyone that remained here on earth, 50 or 100 years might have
passed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The faster the speed, the
greater the time differences will be. </div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
We have proven this with atomic clocks on the space
shuttle and on earth.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A clock on the
shuttle will be a bit slower after a return to earth than one that remained here,
because the one on the shuttle was moving at a faster speed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These speeds, the fastest we can achieve for
now, are only creating time differences of a fraction of a second.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our most traveled astronauts have gain less
than a second to their lives compared to ours.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>But if we were to travel to the stars looking for a planet to colonize,
great speeds would be required that could cause a time dilation of 100 years of
earth time for every 1 (one) year of time on that space ship.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
One other thing that I think is safe to assume is that
our traveler who is singing the song, was married and left behind a wife and
kids.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is implied when he
contemplates the “lands that our grandchildren knew.”</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Now, let’s look at the chorus one more time:</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“Don't you hear my
call though you're many years away?</i></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Don't you hear me
calling you?</i></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Write your letters
in the sand</i></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">For the day I take
your hand</i></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">In the land that our
grandchildren knew.”</i></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Now, “Don’t you hear my call though you’re many years
away,” makes a lot more sense.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Here I
must address something that does bother me and it becomes even more apparent as
the song progresses, though it is hinted here.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It seems that our traveler was blindsided by this fact and he never
considered the time dilation issue.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
find that puzzling.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He goes on assuming
that she writes him letters “in the sand,” which might be the sands of time or
maybe just a little something that was their thing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Now those sands are their homeland that their
grandchildren knew.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The past tense
implies that so much time passed on earth that his grandchildren are already
dead.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yet, he seemed to be looking
forward to holding her hand again upon his return.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Second verse:</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“In the year of '39
came a ship in from the blue;</i></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The volunteers came
home that day</i></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">And they bring good
news of a world so newly born</i></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Though their hearts
so heavily weigh.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">For the Earth is
old and grey, little darling we'll away</i></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">But my love this
cannot be.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Oh so many years
are gone though I'm older but a year;</i></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Your mother's eyes
from your eyes cry to me.”</i></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Again, the year is ’39 so it is 100 years later or maybe
200 years later, but they have returned and have news of a world to colonize.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Now they have the realization that everyone
they knew and loved is now dead.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We know
he is just now coming to terms with this and is making the realization because
he says, “But my love this cannot be.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Now here is the big clue to tell anyone that had not caught on that he
is talking about time dilation. “Oh so many years are gone though I'm older but
a year.”</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Now that you know what is going on, try to read the outro
without crying:</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“Don't you hear my
call though you're many years away?</i></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Don't you hear me
calling you?</i></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">All your letters in
the sand cannot heal me like your hand.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">For my life</i></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Still ahead</i></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Pity me.”</i></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Those have to be the most profound and emotional lyrics I
have ever heard.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He has been gone for
what seems like a year to him and he has missed his wife.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He can’t wait to hold her hand and heal him
from the profound misery of their separation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>He now realizes that she is long dead as are his kids and grandkids.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He must now live his life knowing that he
will never hold her hand again.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“For my
life still ahead, pity me.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What
profound sadness.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
On a side note, before Brian May joined Queen, he had
earned a degree in Physics and was working on a PhD in Astrophysics.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He definitely found a way to bring his two
passions together by writing and recording a song involving space travel and
Einstein’s Theory of Relativity.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On
another side note, it is not Freddie Mercury who sings this song on the album;
it is Brian May.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Here are the lyrics one more time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Read through them with your new knowledge of
their meaning or stop by a Woman’s Touch this week.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I will play this great song at least once
during each set this week.</div>

Yes, that time of year is here. It is time for
Woodstock at AWT and it will be held this weekend, August 24, 25 and 26. This
has become something of a tradition at AWT and we do it every August now.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have over 20 hours of the original concert
and I play it in its historical order over the three days.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We also redo the club area to totally give
you the Woodstock experience from 1969.<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";"><br />
<br />
</span>If you missed the original in 1969, this might just be your best chance
to experience the original Woodstock in cyberspace with us at AWT. A
number of people who attended in the past have said that in a way they now felt
like they were there. Below, you will not only find the schedule and times,
but I have printed the entire set lists for this weekend. Furthermore, if
you scroll past the massive set list, you will find interesting moments you
will hear this weekend, like when the Dead blow their amplifiers or Pete
Townsend of the Who hits Abbie Hoffman over the head with his guitar.
Each event is explain and an approximate to the minute time that you will hear
it this weekend. <span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";"><br />
<br />
</span>So pack up your car or micro-bus. Drive as far as you can down the
SL Thruway, then abandon your car and hike the rest of the way to a Woman’s
Touch. When you get here, the chain link fence is down on the west side
of the concert field. It’s a free concert. Roll out your sleeping
bag and enjoy the Woodstock Music and Arts Fair, an Aquarian Exposition: 3 Days
of Peace & Music.<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";"><br />

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><u>Notable Incidents You Will Hear This
Weekend</u></b><u> (All times are in SL time this weekend.) </u><br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Arlo Guthrie’s Microphone</b> (Friday,
8:17 PM)<br />
Arlo Guthrie starts off his set with Coming Into Los Angeles but there is just
one problem. You can’t hear the vocals. There was trouble with his
microphone and it wasn’t until about a minute into his first song that the
engineers fixed the problem. You can barely hear him singing, probably through
the microphone set up to pick up his guitar. Despite the problem, this
song did make the movie and the first soundtrack album released in 1970.
The song was begun in the middle, after the solo, going into the refrain.
Thus, the flawed part was edited out and only the second half of the song is
used. We will hear it in its entirety, failure and all.<br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Country Joe McDonald Stalls for Time</b>
(Saturday, 10:17 PM)<br />
Joe McDonald was the front man for the band, Country Joe and the Fish.
After Quill finished their set, Santana was not ready to take the stage for
theirs. McDonald was reluctantly recruited to go on stage and do a few
songs solo to placate the crowd. He was not prepared to go on alone so he
used the excuse that he had no guitar. One was located backstage, so he
then used the excuse that he had no guitar strap. A piece of rope was
tied to the guitar and he had run out of excuses. Joe McDonald improvised
a solo set and it included one of the most memorable moments of the weekend.
He got the crowd worked up. “Give me an F… Give me a U… Give
me a C… Give me a K… What’s that spell? [FUCK] What’s that spell?
[FUCK]…<br />
<br />
Yeah, c’mon on all you big strong men,<br />
Uncle Sam needs your help again.<br />
He’s got himself in a terrible jam<br />
way down yonder in Vietnam,<br />
so put down your books and pick up a gun.<br />
We’re gonna have a whole lot of fun.<br />
And it’s 1, 2, 3, what’re we fighting for?<br />
Don’t ask me, I don’t give a damn;<br />
next stop is Vietnam.<br />
<br />
Part way through the song he addresses the crowd. “Listen people, I don't know
how you expect to ever stop the war if you can't sing any better than that.
There's about 300,000 of you fuckers out there…”</div>

<b>Bob Hite of Canned Heat has to Pee</b> (Saturday, 12:01
PM)<br />
Canned Heat took the stage and lead singer, Bob Hite, announced to the crowd,
“…There is only one thing I wish, I sure gotta pee!” It was a direct
reference to the lack of adequate sanitary facilities at the concert. It
should also be noted that just before introducing them, Chip Monck, the emcee,
remarked about how well they were holding up with the help of the US Army.<b> </b><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";"><br />
<br />
</span><b>The Grateful Dead are Delayed</b> (Saturday, 1:34 PM)<br />
The Grateful Dead were supposed to take the stage after Mountain. Well,
several things kept that from happening. First, the switching between bands was
supposed to be facilitated by a turntable type stage. While one band was
on stage (in front), they could be setting up the next one backstage. The
mechanism failed and they had to manual set up the Grateful Dead’s stage.
Furthermore, the stage had flooded due to rain and this was causing all sorts
of grounding issues and there were safety concerns. While there was time
to kill on stage, Jerry Garcia, along with Joe McDonald, addressed the crowd
and gave their advice about the bad acid that was going around.</div>

<b>The Grateful Dead End Early</b> (Saturday, 2:34 PM)<br />
The fear about the water and electrical systems may have been well founded. As
they ended a monster rendition (over 37 minutes long) of <i>Turn on Your Love
Light</i>, a loud bang can be heard as they blew their stage amplifiers and had
to end their set early.<b> </b><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";"><br />
<br />
</span><b>Abbie Hoffman Crashes the Stage on the Who</b> (Saturday, 5:44 PM)<br />
Abbie Hoffman was a notable 60’s activist and radical who was always
controversial and often in trouble with the law. Between Sly and the
Family Stone and the Who, Hoffman had addressed the “politics of the situation”
with an angry rant (6:11 PM) about the plight of John Sinclair, manager of
Detroit rock band, the MC5. Sinclair was serving a ten year prison term
in Michigan for possessing two joints of marijuana. After the Who was
part of the way through their set and tuning their instruments, Hoffman crashed
the stage, taking the microphone from Roger Daltry. He began another
stoned rant about Sinclair saying, “I think this is a pile of shit while John
Sinclair rots in prison.” Pete Townsend then attacked Hoffman, hitting
him over the head with his guitar. Townsend can plainly be heard saying,
“Fuck! Off my fucking stage!” The Who then went on to <i>Pinball Wizard</i>.<b> </b><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";"><br />
<br />
</span><b>Breakfast in Bed for 400,000</b> (Saturday, 6:34 PM)<br />
Sunday morning, after Jefferson Airplane had finished their set, Hog Farm
leader, Wavy Gravy (Hugh Romney), took to the stage and addressed the
crowd. “What we have in mind is breakfast in bed for 400,000.”<b> </b><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">(To fit the schedule this year, we are
present the first act of Sunday in 1969 at the End of our Saturday Set.)</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";"><br />
<br />
</span><b>Max Yasgur Addresses the Crowd</b> (Saturday, 8:16 PM)<br />
When the original location for the festival fell through, weeks before the concert,
Max Yasgur, a local dairy farmer, made his 600 acre farm available. It
was only fitting that he got his few minutes of fame and got to address the
crowd. An older looking man, who looked very out of place, wearing black
plastic rimmed glasses, took the stage. There was no less hip person in
the place, yet he sang the praises of the concert attendees. It was
another wonderful Woodstock moment. Joe Cocker took the stage after him
and dedicated his first song to him. “And we’re going to do this um this little
number to start off with, the title suggests that farming guy who just came
out, did you see that nice little bloke…"<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";"></span></div>

Yasgur would later be immortalized in Joni Mitchell’s
classic song, made famous by CSNY, Woodstock.<br />
<br />
I came upon a child of God,<br />
He was walking along the road <br />
And I asked him, "Where are you going?"<br />
And this he told me...<br />
<br />
I'm going on down to Yasgur's Farm, <br />
I'm gonna join in a rock and roll band. <br />
I'm gonna camp out on the land.<br />
I'm gonna get my soul free.<br />

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young are
Scared Shitless</b> (Sunday, 6:00 PM)<br />
Although all four were seasoned concert performers with other bands, this was
only the second time that CSNY had played in front of people and the crowd
happened to be 400,000. After finishing their opening number, Suite: Judy
Blue Eyes, Stephen Stills admits, “Thank you, we needed that. This is the
second time we've ever played in front of people, man. We're scared
shitless."<br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Emcee, Chip Monck, Closes the Festival</b>
(Sunday, 8:56 PM)<br />
Chip Monck was the voice of Woodstock. His voice filled the void between
sets with announcements, messages, directions and warnings about the brown
acid. He worked relentlessly all three days. The thing is that he
was hired to build and operate the stage lighting for the event. After he
designed and built it, the location of the concert changed and the stage was
built to different specifications to accommodate the new space. The new
roof over the stage was not compatible with the lighting design Monck had
worked ten weeks building. There was actually no stage lighting at
Woodstock. Only follow spots, operated from those towers that ironically
Monck kept warning people about all weekend long.<br />
<br />
Michael Lang realized at the last minute that he never hired an emcee, but
there was Chip Monck, a man he had already paid $7000 and who no longer had a
function. Thus, Woodstock became the only concert in history to have the
lighting director supplying some of the most famous quotes.</div>

What the Hell is the Hog Farm?</h3>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
There are numerous references to the Hog Farm, such as
when a small child was lost and stage manager, John Morris, instructs the
child, wherever he may be, to go up the hill and find a hog farmer. The
“farmer” would reunite him with his mother, interestingly named “Sunshine.”
(You can hear this incident Friday night during our set at about 8:32 PM
SL time.) So, who are these hog farmers?</div>

The Hog Farm was a west coast hippie commune that was recruited to help with
running the festival. It would obviously take a lot of people to work the
event and that was where the Hog Farm came in. They set up a lot of the
grounds that were not part of the stage and also ran a “free kitchen” to feed
festival goers. They were also charged with the task of providing
security, which hit them completely by surprise. They decided on a
friendly approach and dubbed themselves the “Please Force.” Their
approach to security was to ask people nicely, “Please don’t do that.”<br />
<br />
The picture at the top shows some of the hog farmers arriving in their
psychedelic school bus. Looking at the front grill, it seems to be late a
1930s or early 1940s model. Today it might be considered a valuable
antique, but in 1969 it was just a 25-30 year old clunker. In many ways,
the Hog Farm bus has become a Woodstock icon in its own right.<br />
<br />
Their leader was a man named “Hugh Romney,” who is better known as “Wavy
Gravy.” His part in the concert, and his subsequent appearance in the
Woodstock film, made him something of a hippie celebrity, so much so that Ben
& Jerry even named an Ice Cream flavor after him. He actually did not
get his famous nickname until shortly after the Woodstock concert. The
moniker was given to him by the one and only B.B. King at a concert later that
year.</div>
