I am a day or two late about this, but back in the summer of 1969 I did not have my own car so I couldn't even think about driving up to Woodstock. Back in those days I drank beer at the Frontier Palace on Union Turnpike with Joe Viel and the other guys from Sigma Beta Phi fraternity at CCNY. I remember in 1970 going into Manhattan with Roy to see at 10 AM showing of the movie. I did buy the soundtrack LPs and still have them on vinyl. As I am listening to this I am listening to Pete Fornatale's WFUV show from this past Saturday. The archived version may be heard at http://wfuv.streamguys.us/cgi-bin/colinker.cgi?colink=1003773528328 . It will only be available online for about two weeks. Pete Fornatale also recently wrote a book on Woodstock called Back to the Garden: The Story of Woodstock. My friend Alan Berman saw Pete promote the book at a Borders in Manhattan.Bruce Slutsky was born in New York City in 1949. I retired 8 years ago after working as a Science/Engineering Librarian at the New Jersey Institute of Technology in Newark for 25 years. I was married to Karen until she passed away in February 2021. I have a son Lee who is now 37 years old. I am very much interested in the popular music of the 1960s, especially Bob Dylan and the Beatles. I am interested in rock and roll radio. I am an enthusiastic fan of the New York Mets.
