RIP Joe Cocker

[Island Bro]

Dang, we lost another one today.

He made a huge impact through his music.

A good time to return to his Woodstock gig:

Happy Trails, Joe

That is one of the true masterpiece performances. Formative and formidable. Belushi's spoof of it was a classic of the genre, too.

Yeah, I know....if everyone who claimed to be at Woodstock was actually there, then over a million people would have attended.

 

Here is my claim ~ I was 6 years old at Camp Ma-Ho-Ge, a few miles down the road (less than 5) on Silver Lake.   My mother was the drama/theatre director for the camp.  

 

Now, these claims are either true or unintentional fabricated imagination. 

1. I remember hippies walking around the campus

2. I remember hearing garbled music from afar, especially sitting on the hill next to the snack bar (canteen) which was on the far edge of the camp grounds, closest to the festival site.

 

I think at one time, my mother verified #2 but I'm still not certain.   #1 is probably imagination.

 

Thanks for the post and video.

 

RIP J.C.

I was a CIT at a camp in Hinsdale MA in 1969.  The CITs where taken to three concerts at Tanglewood:

 

7/8/69 - Janis Joplin

7/22/69 - Joni Mitchell, Tim Hardin and Paul Butterfield blues band

8/12/69  Jefferson Airplane, The Who and BB King,

 

We read about a festival in Woodstock and asked if they would take us - They said no

 

So I can not say I was there, but can say that I did ask if I could go
