Happy Woodstock Day !!


    Well okay, there's no such thing as Woodstock Day.  But 43 years ago, today was the first day of the 3-day extravaganza.  I wasn't there; we had moved to Lake Havasu City that summer, and I was sweating my butt off working as a carry-out boy at one of the local supermarkets there, while also doing the paperwork for transferring from Penn State to Arizona State.

    The line-up for Woodstock will never be equaled.  Bands are sponsored now, and sponsors don't like to share stage-time with other bands/sponsors.  The Coachella festival draws some nice bands, but still not like Woodstock did.

    Pictured above is one of the bands that played there, and one of my personal favorites.  So we'll make it a quiz - who are they?  Answer in the comments when you give up.

Incredible String Band, aka "ISB". and while most of their albums were uneven, they did put out some incredible stuff.
