The Woodstock Stamp

This stamp was issued on a limited edition sheet from the U.S. post office in 1999, and has since become very hard to locate in mint condition. The back of the stamp reads, "From August 15 to 18, 1969, approximately 500,000 people gathered for the Woodstock Music and Art Fair. This festival of peace and music celebrated the best of the '60s youth culture and came to symbolize a generation.

The first to perform at Woodstock, Richie Havens was also first to sign this Woodstock album, presented to him by the founding members of the Woodstock Preservation Alliance, at a concert on April 6, 2001. These albums, both Woodstock and Woodstock Two, subsequently circulated across the US, gaining signatures of original Woodstock alumni, in a show of support for the mission to perpetuate the Woodstock Spirit.

WOODSTOCK

By: Charles John Quarto

This is a garden where people blossom
Flowers in a gathering
Every color you can imagine
It's easy to let the rainbow be the reason you wake up dancing

It always seemed that we were made of music
And that we were drawn by song
So there's no such thing as hidden beauty
It's all I see everywhere around me
And heaven's never wrong

There's lots of angels here disguised as children
Instead of the other way around
Bet you it was like that in the beginning
Before the trees turned into towns

Just for a moment there
I saw it clearly
A revolution with no gun
It's just that some of us got here early
Awaiting Everyone......

*Special Note: Charles John Quarto was with Albert Grossman when he told Joni Mitchell not to attend Woodstock, because the Monday Dick Cavet show should not be missed. He wrote this beautiful poem for the newly released tribute to the festival, performed by Runaway Express.
