Manchester center, vermont in 2009. Its wonderful for us to be here in a state where we feel the spirit of woodstock still lives, and we know there is a woodstock here too. I have to say, i kind of fit all three of the criteria you mentioned about people interested in the book. I was definitely interested in the topic from a historical, musical perspective for a long time. I wish i had been there, but i was 12 years old, living in North Carolina the time, so didnt get to go. Now, i feel like i was there because of getting to spend so much time with michael and working on the book and all the incredible people that weve i have gotten to meet that worked on woodstock with michael, whose stories are also part of the book. Tonight, what we are going to do is talk a little bit amongst ourselves for you guys to listen in. Be thinking of questions because we will have time for questions at the end, after we chat for a little while. Im going to go through a little bit of back story with michae

Im going to go through a little back story with michael, because like many people who were not at the festival, my impressions of woodstock were based on the film that came out in march of 1970. I come to find out when we started working together on the real story there was a whole lot more to it than what we got to see in that wonderful film. So we are going to talk about that. [indiscernible] [laughter] some people dont realize, but woodstock was not michaels first festival. He was living in brooklyn in new york city and ended spending time in the west village and getting involved in the music scene, then found his way to coconut grove, florida in 1966. Q tell us about what the scene was like there, and what took you there. Growing up, i never had a clear understanding of where i wanted to go with my life. That is probably still true. I was at nyu and i
