I'm Going Home

Woodstock Music festival - 1968.  Much has been written about the music, the people and the drugs.  The story behind the festival is a must read.  The movie is a must watch for anyone with an interest in the history of music in the United States. 

The drugs ranged from beer and booze to LSD and quaaludes.  Marijuana was said to be widely available.  Yet few were hurt and less were arrested.  Is there a lesson there for all of us? 

For me the highlight of the music (no I was not there!) was Alvin Lee and Ten Years After.  Their rendition of "I'm Going Home" became an instant classic played by every garage and cover bad in the 70's.  Alvin Lee died yesterday of complication following routine surgery.  Enjoy the music.
