Wonderful article Louise. It is a beautiful piece of history. I live in Woodstock now. Like many, I moved up here from Brooklyn. I love its beauty, mysticism, and rich musical history. I do wish that it lived up to Joni's hopes for it. Like so many. places, the town's legacy is slowly being turned into fancy hotels and t-shirts commemorating values it had no interest in actually keeping alive. It's charm is being mined for dollars. But hey, the restaurants are good!
Wow, no kidding! You're THERE! Wish I'd been old enough to make the trek across the country to attend. Alas. Yeah, I bet it's become somewhat commercialized. Shame, that. Enjoy the good parts!
I was not only not old enough but a continent away too… I’ve watched so many clips from Woodstock over the years and still I wish I could have been there, it was a turning of the page in so many respects!

A new favorite Louise!! I still
Listen to Joni Mitchell too! ✌🏽X
I think a lot of people still listen to her, Susie. I hope that more young people will listen, too. ✌🏽
