Back in the day I wished I could have gone to woodstock and shows like proposed at Powder Ridge but now looking at the huge crowds the ones way in back surely couldn't even make out who was on stage and if lucky they could hear the music. LOL No desire to attend anything of that nature now. As I've aged I prefer to stay away from crowds.
Another ad for the show. At least this one includes Ten Years After and a few other that were left out of the earlier ad.

It wasn't a total loss that weekend ;
There was a "Free Stage set up outside the Gates where some enterprising electricians hot-wired two Mr. Softee trucks, providing power to the stage, so a lot of us got to see/hear Melanie, James Taylor, Delaney & Bonnie and a couple local Bar bands perform .... the ban didn't get approved until late Friday night, and there were already 30 or 40 thousand of us on-site, so the week-end became on big Camping Jamboree !
I was 15 and was never comfortable with the whole "free love" and "flower power" scene of the late '60's and early '70's. I would have been absolutely miserable at Woodstock, even if the weather had been better. I'm happy to listen to the 7 or so acts who were there that I like on Spotify, staying comfortable, dry and near my own bathroom. Yeah, I know I sound old, but I felt the same way at 15.

The uninitiated referenced "Free Love" as a sexual thing, when in reality the hippie subculture was merely saying, "Love freely, without expecting or asking for reciprocity"... in the words of Stevie Wonder, "Don't you know that true love asks for nothing" ...I was 15 and was never comfortable with the whole "free love" and "flower power" scene of the late '60's and early '70's.

Now, this is not to say that in some cases, Flower Children lived an open - book sort of life, but most of us were just "Hippie Wanna-be's" mostly living the same sort of life as the "Straights"... Hell, I worked on WALL STREET , only Manifested "hippy" every Friday night , lol !

The September full moon is known as the Harvest Moon.September’s name comes from the Latin word septem, meaning ‘seven’. This month was originally the seventh month of the Roman calendar.
On the first Monday after 4 September, a particular tradition called the Horn Dance takes place in Abbots Bromley in Staffordshire. Six people are split equally into two teams, holding masks on sticks that have long reindeer antlers attached to them. One team’s antlers are painted white, the other’s blue. They charge towards each other and retreat in a repetitive sequence before passing through and starting again from the other side.

Harvest festivals in ancient Greece started the modern day stage dramas. They added characters to choral songs and gradually it got developed.

This made me read a lot of Wikipedia. I always thought the diamond back was a small snake like a Russle's viper. Never thought it would be 5 feet long! That's scary.

I've always heard Joni Mitchell wasn't invited to perform, but apparently she was there.
Hmmm ..
Edit:
Per a 1995 article from Goldmine magazine, reprinted on Joni Mitchell's website, she was set to appear on "The Dick Cavett Show" the Monday after the festival with the band Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young and feared she'd get stuck in Woodstock and not make it back to New York City in time. David Crosby, Stephen Stills, Graham Nash, and Neil Young did go, and even made it back in time to accompany Mitchell to "The Dick Cavett Show." Mitchell later said about her decision to miss Woodstock, "I was the girl of the family and, with great disappointment, I was the one that had to stay behind."

Well, my father was born in December of 1930 so he's only 92 at the moment.
So to be accurate for the end-of-year babies, the statement should read "the age you will be in this calendar year..."
