Woodstock after 44 Years

I was too young for Woodstock.

The music festival took place in Bethel Woods, maybe 7 miles away from us, not in the actual Woodstock due to a business disagreement. A last minute change brought the music to a small town, Bethel, in the local hills. History was made and eventually the farm was developed into a music center, complete with a very interesting museum.

On Sunday, the anniversary of the last day of the event, musicians paid homage to Richie Havens who famously opened Woodstock with his song "Freedom." Havens died last Spring. His ashes were scattered by a small airplane over the site. We didn't go because we were still recovering from Bagel Fest.
