It's tribute bands doing a tribute to some of the bands that performed at the original Woodstock of 40 years ago this weekend. And, they are performing in Woodstock, as in Woodstock, Illinois. Interesting enough, this is where 18-year-old me thought the festival was all those years ago. I went, I looked, but couldn't find it.
The real one actually took place on a farm near Bethel, New York. And not at Woodstock, New York!!
This Woodstock happens at Galt Airport, near suburban Woodstock and takes place tonight and tomorrow. Organizers have scoured the United States and say they have found the best tribute bands of Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Joe Cocker, the Who, CCR, Grateful Dead, Santana, and two CSNY groups.
It costs $20 for tonight and $30 for Saturday, or $40 for both. On Wednesday, one of the CSNY (Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young) groups gave a free concert in Woodstock's square (so prominently featured in the movie "Groundhog Day."
I have to work tomorrow, so again will miss my "Woodstock."

Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
