Before Woodstock The Sky River Rock Festival & Lighter Than Air Fair

By J. D. Howard

In 1968, live music, the arts, and the counterculture all came together to create a '60s banquet of lasting influence. In Before Woodstock, author JD Howard revisits and reexamines the first 3-day rock festival to ever be held at a rural undeveloped site. The Sky River Rock Festival showcased some of the original bands of the 1960s: Santana, It's a Beautiful Day, Country Joe & The Fish, Youngbloods, with the Grateful Dead showing up on the last day unscheduled. With a sharp eye and a keen wit, the event is seen through the eyes of a young reporter who winds up experiencing everything the '60s were about. If you were there, or wish you would have been, this novel will take you back on a time machine for a trip you'll enjoy.
