It (Woodstock)was in 1969 and it was held from Aug.15 to 18. I wasn't there but have watched the movie (back when it was a movie) in high school and have read a little about the weekend and am jealous that I was not there. But, I wasn't in the country and I was only 11 at the time. So Happy 40th anniversary to Woodstock. This weeks song was released in August 1968 and was recorded in Klook's Kleek in London which was a live venue. The original LP consisted of only 5 songs with this weeks song being the last. In the 2002 CD re-release there are 9 songs. The song was not written by a chipmunk. The band followed Leslie West/Mountain and was followed by The Band at Woodstock.
Here is this weeks lyric:
gonna see my baby, see my baby fine
Take my baby, take my baby mine
Gonna tell your Momma how good that love of ours
I would like to know the following:
The name of the song:
The writer of the song:
The name of the band:
What day of Woodstock they played:
Have a great week, enjoy the weather, no matter what it is like, it will likely change soon, sounds like a Jimmy Buffet song if you ask me, or was it a country song, which reminds me of part of a conversation that I overheard while on vacation. Two men were talking and one said (no kidding): "I was an assistant produce manager and she was just a cashier" I pretty near fell off my chair laughing and then thought that it would make a great country song. That's another blog someday. Have an awesome week. If I have time, there may be some more hints on Wednesday.

Well, now you've come to the very heart of the matter. You may as well ask me what key it's in. (But I'm not telling!)
When I was in high school there was a "movie club" which would rent a film [yes, a film!] every week and show it to whoever wanted to see it. It was strictly non-profit and the price varied every week: they took the cost of renting the film and divided it by the number of students who had seen it, and that was the price of your ticket. What a concept. (Going to see an unpopular movie was expensive, unless you could get your friends to go with you! but that's another story.)
Normally they would show the movie on Friday and Saturday nights, and there might also be a Saturday or Sunday matinee if enough people were interested. And if more people than usual were interested, that was cool for those who wanted to see it more than once, because you only had to pay once, no matter how many times you saw it. And every time they showed it, more people signed in and the price kept going down! ;-)
Most films were shown twice. Afew were shown three times. "Woodstock" was shown six times -- and the place was packed every time!
I watched the whole thing once, and parts of it the other five times, all of which wound up costing me about 75 cents!
I found some parts of it very boring, and I didn't have all weekend to spend watching it, so I started dropping in just to see certain songs. As the weekend went along, the list of songs I wanted to see got shorter and shorter. By Sunday I was watching one song only, and still hadn't had enough of it ... after which my friends started calling me "Alvin". (Chipmunks? Hardly!)
In retrospect, I think my guitar teacher was a bit concerned. He wanted me listening to players who were more ... um ... precise (i.e. just about everybody else in the rock world at the time)! ;-)
Still, it's a great song and that was a fantastic performance of it.
SPOILER ALERT? In a wonderfully ironic twist, according to this page, the name of the song is called "Silly Thing"!
