I didn’t think I would have much to smile about this week but I was wrong. This is one instance where it is good to be wrong…the smile scale!
I grew up in the 60s and 70s. The music from those years is what brings all those years back to me. This was a great weekend for music and memories. As most of you may know, this weekend was the fiftieth anniversary of Woodstock, 1969 super music fest that lasted three days and changed so much. I didn’t go to Woodstock in 1969. I was thirteen years old. I remember staying in my bedroom with my older sister that weekend. We listened to the radio as much as we could. The station we played gave updates and live reports about who was on stage and what was going on at the festival grounds.
Thanks to Robin at Breezes At Dawn who reminded me, I was able to listen to a lot of the re-broadcast of the festival on xpn.com.Β It was truly smile inducing and had me singing a long. I got to hear Joan Baez and CCR. I heard Sly, Jefferson Airplane, the Grateful Dead and Janis Joplin. Canned Heat. The Who. Blood, Sweat & Tears. Yeah. If you grew up then, you are smiling now, right?
I missed a lot but I will look up what I missed and listen to it throughout the week. I’m sure I will be smiling right along with the music!
The Weekly Smile is a weekly blog hop hosted by Trent at Trent’s World. Here is his smile from this week. What made you smile this week?
There was a lot of great music during that festival and you caught a lot of it, I did, however, notice the absence of Jimi and Santana π Oh well, can’t hear them all, but I’m sure you smiled about the ones you did! Glad you could join the smile this week π

Wasn’t that fun? I missed a lot of those you heard (because they were on in the middle of the night). And heard the two that Trent mentioned. Jimi Hendrix was amazing. So was Santana. And The Band. Actually, it was all amazing. π
