I have met 2 people who swear they were at Woodstock. I had no reason not to believe them.
When I lived in LA, my husband’s best friend’s girlfriend said she went to Woodstock. I think she was from Burlington, Vermont.
Guess who else was there;

Gee, don’t they look like they are having the time of their lives.
I was of the right age and living in Upstate NY but never heard anything about it until after it happened. From what I understand it was a NY City party in the country.

No. But Richie Havens was a friend of the family years before woodstock, before he became famous.
Richie used to take part in musical jams in New York City’s Greenwich Village. My mother attended these jams. She wasnt a musician. She went just to enjoy the music. Richie was going through a rough patch in his life at the time and was seriously considering giving up music for good. But my mother, seeing how talented he was, would talk him out of it.
Decades go by and mother is employed in the criminal courts in manhattan. She hasnt seen or been in contact with Richie for many, many years. One day she is walking out of the courthouse and she sees Richie standing there on the courthouse steps. She approached him, wondering if he even remembers her after all the years, decades that has passed. Indeed he did, addressing mother by her first name before she even had a chance to introduce herself.
