I took a small detour to check out the site of the concert, and there I saw a psychedelic painted school bus at the side of the road, selling souvenirs. I stopped the car, got out - and saw that the only other customers at the bus were the performer Melanie (most famous songs: Lay Down - Candles in the Rain, Brand New Key) with her family. She had performed at the original Woodstock, and comes back almost every year for the reunion event. She and her family were very friendly - she presented me with a complimentary autographed CD - and I got some great pictures of them with some original Woodstock signs. I was only 8 years old at the time of the original concert, so this latter event was a very nice and personal Woodstock memory for myself. Vern
