The big reveal for the week of Aug.10/09

Hello out there it's Friday and once again your musical tour guide has the day off again. Beauty eh! Summer is here and that lovely sound you are hearing is the gentle hum of air conditioners keeping us cool. They didn't need air con (as my American family says) at Woodstock, they had rain, mud, rivers to skinny dip in and they had each other.

I heard from several of you this week. I received another interesting story about one of the players that you may see on this weeks video. My friend Perry D. hung out with the conga player from Richie Havens band in the 80's, cool eh. he(Perry) is a really cool friend, you should see him when he plays bass, he makes that thing sing.

Although a number of you mentioned parts of the answers, no one "rang in", so.......

Here are your answers:

The name of the song: Strawberry Fields Forever
Who wrote it: John Lennon
Who performed it at Woodstock: Richie Havens
Time he started: 5:07 pm
Place named after this song: Strawberry Fields, Central Park, NY, NY


Have an awesome weekend. Mine started last night when I turned off the alarm for this morning, man I love getting up early and I really like the extra sleep too. It's going to be really warm (apparently) this weekend so make sure you stay well hydrated. And no matter what you do this weekend try to spend some of it with those you love and cherish. As some one said, yesterday is the past, tomorrow has not yet arrived and today is all we have, that's why they call it the present, cheesie I know and probably paraphrased incorrectly, but the feeling is there.

Dreams have only one owner at a time. That's why dreamers are lonely.
