I was there!

[Madeline]

So Ernie, did ya get laid at Woodstock?

 

[Ernie S.]

Aaah Cosmic Carlos! I hadn't really noticed Santana by 69 and was overwhelmed!
If you watch the video Maddie posted above, you'll see Carlos smile at the end. He had been trying so hard to stay in character, but he looked out and saw a half million people, literally all on their feet. WOW!!

42 years later and he still makes me dance.

I waited and waited for you to show.


Naaah. I was saving up for an engagement ring for wife #1, though I did enjoy the scenery.

Paul Simon said this was the best redition of this song ever made.

Do you remember seeing it?

 

[Ernie S.]

What happened to Bert Sommer. He played for less than an hour Friday night and had everyone on their feet. I figured he'd be big, but he kind of disappeared. He died in 1990.
Thanks for reviving a pleasant memory.

Being in a mess of druggies listening to lame music in a pouring down rain with no amenities.

Not my idea of a good time.

Lame music? I'm kind of wondering what you think is good music. Was some not up to snuff? I'm sure. But I've always wished it was somethng I had been able to do. Unfortunately, my folks weren't rocker types and wouldn't have brought a toddler anyway.

He is known as the lost performer at woodstock.

He got the first standing ovation I believe.

Funny thing is I just found the woodstock album at a junk store about a week ago.

I still love vinyl

 

[Ringel05]

I wasn't there.
(Nothing to see in my post folks. Move along.)

 

[Ernie S.]

There is a pending development folks. Stay tuned!

No but possibly the answer to a question that has been on my mind for 42 years.

 

[Truthmatters]

Is the kid yours?

 

[Ernie S.]

I may have found the answer to a 42 year old question.

 

[Truthmatters]

That girl was really a guy?

 

[Ernie S.]

That girl was really an angel! This is not a joke, TM. I can't reveal the contents of PM's without permission, but I may now know the answer to the biggest unanswered question in my life.

Honey, you cannot reveal the contents of a PM even with permission, unless the PM is a rep comment.

PM me and spill the beans, pronto!

Please? LOL. (God, I am nosey.)

@ TM....I bet many a baby was made at Woodstock!

 

[Truthmatters]

I was just being funny.

Im glad you have your question answered after all these years.

Are you going to fill us in or just tease us?

 

[Ernie S.]

The question will go unanswered publicly but, well, here's to you.......

I think you just need permission from the other person:

Suffice it to say, I believe I have found the girl that pulled me out of the mud, probably saving my life. She is a member here and wishes to remain anonymous. Her request will be honored. I owe her that and more.

Small world, huh.
