I was there!

I LOVE YOU JANIS !

Magnifica janis the greatest

I'll always remember this festival as the one I didn't attend even tho I had all my plans made and ready to party. In May that year, I had signed up for the US Navy, and I won't mince words here....... I signed up so that I wouldn't get drafted by the Army. As it was, there was a five month waiting period to get into the Navy, so, I just sorta disappeared for awhile, alternating between spending time in Austin and my hometown of Richardson with some of the craziest friends I ever had...... Even my English teacher from high school, was looking forward to reading tarot cards at the festival. This was going to be my last big party over Labor Day weekend as I was due to check in on Jackson St in downtown Dallas the following week... you know, where you go to get inspected, detected, infected, neglected, and selected....... Well, I got a call on Monday from the recruiter saying that I needed to report early on Friday, and there was no way I could convince him that Monday after the festival would be just as well. Needless to say, six weeks later, I was looking thru an old Newsweek Magazine as I was cleaning up the Master-at-Arms office and I opened it up to see two full pages of news...... On the left side of the page was a picture from Woodstock and a whole article about that, and on the right side, there was a pic from the Texas International Pop Festival showing some long haired freak with a top hat on, looking like the mad hatter from Alice, except instead of a percentage sign stuck in his brim, he had a note that read "Acid $2.00".......... So, whoever posted this music from the festival that, for me, the one that never was, I thank you profusely. Now I know what I missed........... sigh...........

She was backed by her new Kozmic Blues Band...IT was a great performance...although she was unhappy at someone or something...she kept looking back at the band and yelling things to them....but she finally focused on the music.

This isn't Monterey. This is the Texas Pop Festival...

51 years ago yesterday, it was about 11 PM and I was up against the stage watching and listening, probably 15 feet to the left of this singer. (It was the only act over those three days that inspired me to snake through 100,000 people to get near the stage)
