So glad you came to visit. If you were at Woodstock then this site is for you. We’ll try to help bring back those great memories of the awesome experience that was Woodstock Music Festival 1969. That was 40 years ago this summer. Whew… now I feel old.

If you weren’t there then we want to help you understand what you missed. It was a weekend and a time that was very special. Peace and love were real… if just for a brief time. It’s a weekend that I never will forget.

My Memories of Woodstock

They say if you can remember being at Woodstock then you were’t really there. Well I was at Woodstock and I had as much fun as I could have and I still remember it… 40 years later.

Okay, I don’t remember EVERYTHING but then again I don’t remember everything that happened last week.

But Woodstock is truly embedded in my memory and what I do remember will not be lost any time soon.

I’m Rick Hart and I’m the creator of this site. Believe me it’s truly a labor of love in the full Woodstock sense. Thanks for visiting.

What DO I remember about Woodstock?

Well the first thing I remember was that it was the first time I realized that people who felt like me were everywhere. I could see that I was not alone in my beliefs and in my love of… well… love.

Riding and walking into the Festival I could see there were thousands of kids who looked a lot like me. And as I began to meet many of them I realized the feeling we had wasn’t just skin deep. There really was a sense of love and “we’re all in this together” in the air.

Of course, at 21 my understanding of love was still in many ways childish but the hope that love could transform the world was real. And when I got to Woodstock I began to believe in the power of love more than ever. In fact, I think it was the kind of experience that would shape my world-view for the rest of my life.
