See ya later! We're on vacation and heading back to Bethel NY for the 40th Anniversary of the Woodstock festival. As I recently blogged, I missed the music in 1969, but still had a great time.
Back in 1994, for the 25 th Anniversary, the " official" concert was held in Saugerties NY with contemporary artists. There WAS supposed to be another concert back in Bethel with many of the original artists, but that eventually got cancelled. I went anyway, as did thousands of people. There was no music, but it did rain ( of course) and people were sliding down the same mud pit as they did in 1969. Once again, not hearing any music except for the Traffic CD I had in the car.
So it's 40 years later and NOW I finally get to hear Jefferson Airplane, Canned Heat, Big Brother and the Holding Company and even Country Joe! That's Saturday night.
Then Sunday, it's off to one of the coolest venues in the country, Saratoga Performing Arts Center ( SPAC ) to catch the last show of the summer tour for Phish. When my tickets arrived in the mail I almost had a heart attack, because they are in the 2nd row, seats 1 and 2.
Oh yeah, then on the way home, we're visiting the Baseball Hall of Fame.
Are we going to a good vacation? You betcha! <wink>
Madison's summer music festival season kicks off this weekend with Brat Fest at Willow Island, where there are more bands than you can shake a bratwurst at! Check out the Brat Fest website to plan your itinerary.

John Fogerty is making the talk show rounds this week, stopping in to see David Letterman Tuesday and Wednesday, and the ladies of "The View" on Thursday.
He's promoting his new album, "Wrote a Song For Everyone" which comes out next Tuesday...
It's a miracle that both Jonathan and KItty wanted to hear Barry Manilow this morning. They were not alone. Plenty of Fanilow's called in to vote yes. One caller claimed to have seen Manilow in concert 25 times!
The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, it is another gorgeous Monday, fit for another great show at the Crystal Corner tonight.
Through locking ourselves in the barn on Irish Lane, tossing some ideas around, as well as a few choice beverages to...
Hey everybody, we were thrown for a loop by the twist this week, but were able to make one of our "oldie but a goldie" songs fit the mold.
We have a few songs that we have played consistently over the years, and we are very happy that we will be...
We just received word of what this weeks twist is, and...oh boy. We need to take our "signature song" and cut it to only 2:30 without going over. Amberstein does not simply play 2:30 versions of our songs...so this could be interesting.

In 1984, Rockwell rose to number 2 for 3 weeks in 1984 with "Somebody's Watching Me." The backup singer for the song was Michael Jackson. How did Rockwell get Jackson to help him? Well, Rockwell's real name is Kennedy William Gordy and he...
Have you heard the song "Rumble and Sway" yet on Triple M?
The singer sounds like a raspy blues dude who's definitely been around the block a few times....but surprisingly, Jamie N. Commons is only 23 years old!
He was born in England, but...
