Jan 10, 2024 4:58 PM UTCHere's one of mine.. At Woodstock '94, around the North Stage, I was strolling about minding my own affairs and there was this lady! Her hair went just about to her ankles! Not seeing a woman like that too often, I felt compelled to complement her, so I did! I was about to walk away, and she grabbed my arm telling me to wait as she tugged on her boyfriend/husband who stood in front of us. This dude turned around and I think I jumped back a few feet, wearing a smile on my face and quietly saying, "No, no way?!" The lady told him to fire one up, and oh yeah, I matched them! We talked, partied, watched the concert until I decided to vanish back into the mist! Sad, he passed away around a year later in '95, but he was the most laid-back, mellow dude's I've ever met! Today I try to be a lot like him! I'm quite a lucky man to say that I partook with Jerry Garcia from The Grateful Dead!!! lol

A Tuskegee airman, 94 years old at the time, change his tire. Being a veteran, fortunate enough to have not seen armed conflict, it was truly amazing to meet such a humble gentle man.
