You never know who yer gonna meet
 
1 Attachment(s)
Last weekend there was a music fest an hours drive from my home. I never even knew it was happening, and did`nt go.

A buddy from work went and was wondering around and ended up near the stage area. He wondered around to the back of the stage area and then into where the artists get ready and hang out back stage, with out anyone asking him for a pass or anything.
So my bud is now wondering around back of the stage and runs into Ritchie Havens, sitting by himself and Terry(my buddy from work) ends up playing guitar and smokin happy sticks with Ritchie behind the stage for about 4 hours. Pretty cool if ya ask me to walk around hicksville and meet a Woodstock refugee! Just thought I`d share it with ya :cool: :beer:

In the big house
Where the sun lives
With the walls so white and blue
In the red soil
All the green grows
And the winds blow across your face
They blow across your heart

It's the time of the turning and there's something stirring outside
It's the time of turning and we'd better learn to say our goodbyes

All the earth breaks
Like a stale bread
And the seeds are folded in the soil
Oh the sun pours
Then the rains fall
While the roots reach out right through the ground
They reach out through the ground

It's the time of turning and there's something stirring outside
It's the time of turning and the old world's falling
Nothing you can do can stop the next emerging
Time of the turning and we'd better learn to say our goodbyes
If we can stand up
When all else falls down
We'll last through the winter
We'll last through the storms
We'll last through the north winds
That bring down the ice and snow
We'll last through the long nights
Till the green field's growing again
Growing again

Put on the dress in which you were married
Pull down the veil till your eyes are hid
Can you remember where we both came from
Let us do as we did

Look at tomorrow today
Making tomorrow today

Put back the photo under your window
Put down the phone that you hold in your hand
Put away these things that stand in between us
Let us be what we can
When it seems
Hopeless

Make tomorrow
Make tomorrow today

What better measure of what you were doing here
Then what you can leave behind
All the children of your children's children
Do you ever think what they're going to find?


Make tomorrow
Where the sacred meet the scared
Make tomorrow
Where the dreamer's dream is dared

In each of us
A dream can burn like the sun
Let's try it all one more time
To get this lesson learned

Sitting up in a spaceship
Looking down at the earth
You wonder what they all stuggling for
What's it all really worth

Making tomorrow today
Making tomorrow today
Make tomorrow
Make tomorrow

P.S. Multi, I think you're talking about Freedom/Motherless Child...

great story about that. havens was about to go on at woodstock when the stage manager told him to extend his set, the next band was running way behind. so...he launches into freedom/child and proceeds to start making up lyrics. to this day he doesn't know what he sang. offhand i don't remember the exact phraseology (not that it matters much in this instance) but there's a line that sounds like "My brother's got a phone in his pajamas and he's making a call." :D
