Hi, this is Jonathan Rose. I'm an old Narrowsburg resident... And I'm a veteran of Woodstock '69.
My initial memory is, I'm just back from my first trip out to California, which was kind of the declining years of all what was happening there. I took the bus up to Max's farm from Port Authority Bus Terminal the first day of the festival, and I had strep throat, and 103 temperature, and I was on all kinds of medications, and I said, if the worst happens, they'll bury me in the alfalfa fields. But I got up there, got off the bus, and I will swear to you, then as now, within an hour or so, I was cured.
If there's anything to the power of the vibrational healing energy of upwards of half a billion people, I experienced it.
I came away... seeing it all and wondering what was happening, and so encrusted in mud—as were most of the others there—that you couldn't tell whether I was wearing any clothes or not. In fact, my mother, when I got home, made me take everything off in front of our apartment so she could throw it in the laundry and me in the shower. So, others will have musical experiences and events and so forth—these are the openings and closings of my memory of Woodstock. A splendid time was had by all and memory and the vibrations endure and feed and guide us from that day to this.
