Woodstock Then and Now

By Gemma Cleanslate

Peace Not War.....  Arms are for Embracing.....Free Love.... and the Beatles!! This is what I found when I went over to check out the setting for FrannyDJ Dean’s Tribute to Woodstock! Everything is set for this weekend music festival in memory of the original Woodstock actually held in Bethal NY on the Yasgur Dairy Farm.

The old barn is there too. Psychedelic art is in place along with porto potties and a shower. Some are already there practicing and I joined a guitar lead on the stage for fun! It has not rained yet but there is a pond in front of the stage.

   “ Richie Havens. Minstrel From Gault. High Flyin' Bird. ...
    Sweetwater. Motherless Child. Look Out. ...
    Bert Sommer. Jennifer. The Road To Travel. ...
    Tim Hardin. Misty Roses. ...
    Ravi Shankar. Raga Puriya-Dhanashri / Gat In Sawarital. ...
    Melanie. Beautiful People. ...
    Arlo Guthrie. Coming Into Los Angeles. ...
    Joan Baez. Joe Hill.”
 and so many more were in the original lineup.! Not sure of this lineup but I know it will be great!

My friend , Bayou Diesel sent me a heads up that he is putting out on Facebook and notecard,
”Coming this Saturday, August 18, 2018 is Woodstock '69 Tribute, brought to you by FrannyDJ Dean, who does the Mardi Gras parade sim and the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade sim too. The Woodstock '69 Tribute tribute will run for three days of Peace and Love and Music , circa 1969 and then will become Woodstock Summerfest 2018, an updated 21st century event. and will run run through Labor Day Sept 3, 2018“

Frannie dj says, “Ever wonder what it was like to be a hippy back in the day? Here's your chance! Join us on Aug 18th 19th and 20th for a groovy time at our 3 day tribute to Woodstock '69
Then starting on the 21st we travel into the future for our Woodstock Music & Country Fair 2018 Summerfest. Woodsock as it might be today in the present modern music and bands (smile)  Don’t miss this FAR OUT event !!! “

The second part of this fun will be at another site . http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Enchanted%20Estates/100/157/2999
