    All this work on goodstock brings back memories of woodstock and the journey we took and why we took it. Joni Mitchel has sumed it up pretty well in her Lyrics in Woodstock. I felt this song strongly back in the day and when ever I hear it it lifts my spirit bc it is the true essence of what we were and what drew us to band together in celebrating Life in our music. I carry this song in my heart always and live by the deeper meaning it represents. I hope in the reading of Joni's song, it will fill your heart with love for all our brothers and sisters and bring us closer in spirit with the music and each other. Enjoy.


    Woodstock
    Joni Mitchel

    I came upon a child of God
    He was walking along the road
    And I asked him, where are you going
    This he told me

    I am on my way to Asgur's Farm
    I'm going to join in a rocknroll band
    I'm going to camp out on the land
    I'm going to try and get my soul free

    We are stardust
    We are golden
    And we've got to get ourselves
    Back To The Garden

    Then can I walk beside you
    I have come here to lose the smog
    And I felt to be a cog in something turning

    Well maybe it's just the time of year
    And Maybe it's the time of man
    I dont know who I am
    But you know life is for learning.

    We are stardust
    We are golden
    And we have got to get ourselves
    Back to The Garden

    By the time we got to woodstock
    We were half a million strong
    And every where was a song and celebration
    And I dreamed I saw the bomber jet planes
    Riding shot gun in the sky
    Turning into butterfly above our nation.

    We are stardust
    Billion yesr pld carbon
    We are golden
    Caught in the Devils bargan
    And we've got to get ourselves
    Back to the garden
