Women at Woodstock

[bloomerboomer]

Hi Again - I am still the new guy so I am learning the ropes. But I have hopefully filled out my Bio and info and completed that. Here is my question. As you see in my bio, I am the editor of BloomerBoomer.com. From time to time things come my way such as the most current Women at Woodstock event. Is this sort of thing of interest? Thanks Andy:sentimental:

Wot is that, dare I ask? :dunno:

Interesting/

BB, I'm glad it's interesting, but what is the Women At Woodstock event? :doh:

I am sorry Ina. I missed your last post. I don't know a lot about it yet but there is a lot of stuff on the Internet. Women at Woodstock is described as retreats for women from all walks of life gather to connect, share knowledge & provide support as they work together to step consciously into their futures.

Sounds like a good thing for young women such as my 30 year old granddaughter. I'll see if she has heard of it. It will give me an excuse to talk to her. :thankyou:

No that's not it. Woodstock was in 1969. It is for women our age who remember Woodstock and what it stood for.

BB, in '69 I was driving with my youngest son all tucked in the back seat, from Texas to California, thru Washinton and Oregon. Where I found out they just didn't let any ole folks into Canada. So I then drove on to New York, and I end in Boston by the end of that year, where I stay for two years. So I was a bit late for Woodstock. :tapfoot:

I am ashamed to say I was not entirely tuned into Woodstock then. Not sure why. Let's see, '69 I was finishing up college and probably clueless.

I was in the Navy, stationed on a destroyer in San Diego. Woodstock happened in August 1969, two months after I got back to San Diego from my first WesPac Cruise to Nam. At the time, I didn't even know Woodstock was going on! Some years later, I watched the Woodstock movie and seen some rock groups that I knew......Santana and Jefferson Airplane to name a couple. My wife loves Janis Joplin and Janis was there. One thing I didn't like was the song that Country Joe and The Fish done about Vietnam.

I learned that the drummer for Santana was the youngest musician at Woodstock. After watching a narrated commentary about Woodstock, I realized that "weight can come with age"! A lot of people who were at Woodstock were fairly skinny back then, but aren't now. I know I was fairly thin back then.

We use to have a neighbor who told us that she conceived her daughter at Woodstock.

As for, "The Women of Woodstock", I done some research and there is a couple of websites about this title. One talks about Business Women and Retreats and the other is about the women singers at Woodstock.
