    It was a very good year. Now THAT was a party! Hendirx was there and died a few months later. Then I went into the army and really lost my innocense.

    Hi! Indeed I was! I don't recall much...it was in Peach County,Byron,GA.Folks were camping in pecan groves,we had blankets on site,against a white wall/fence.That was my very,first,festival! I was a sweet,young,thing then & all those local BUBBAS oggling 'them nekkid gals' at the river spooked me!!! There were tons of people there! It was hot,hot,hot! Hendrix played the Star Spangled Banner in the evening ,Grand Funk was there.Like I said,I was high and don't recall much!HA! Festivals and concerts were plentiful and cheap back then! It was a great time to be young!!! (That is if you weren't being used for war bait! Thank you!)
