 Yasgur's Treehouse By: Noah Eaton 3/6/04 We were looking for a love-in, in the early summer morning, bellbottoms and birkenstocks, come trotting down Route 17B, peppermint swirl smiles, orange popsicle heatstroke cheeks, I said, "Hey, I know a place, where's it happenin'! In Yasgur's treehouse, we can feel the chakras from afar, from the gongs of Gamelan Sekar Jaya, to the sitar of Ravi Shankar, hop onto the crash pad, and do the strobe-light shimmy, so come on in and join the recollection Woodstock, let's get the rainbow gathering going...  There were boys in Nehru jackets, girls in bangles and hip-huggers, children playing beach blanket Bingo, bosom buddies waddling in the corner, singing, "It's the patchouli shimmy, yeah, the patchouli shimmy, that keeps getting us centered, deeper and deeper and deeper and deeper into harmony. "Go with the flow!", "go with the flow!" Sway, kundalini, lay it on me! "Go with the flow!", "go with the flow!" Sway, kundalini, lay it on me!  We were looking for a love-in, in the early summer morning, where we saw a white school bus, parked on the shoulder of Route 17B. I said "Hey, let's go camping, right there on Max Yasgur's farm." let's beat a drum, and follow me on the pilgrimage to rock and roll mecca... In Yasgur's treehouse, we can feel the chakras from afar, from the gongs of Gamelan Sekar Jaya, to the sitar of Ravi Shankar, hop onto the crash pad, and do the strobe-light shimmy, so come on in and join the recollection Woodstock, let's get the rainbow gathering going...  . . . . . Shine, shine, shine, Sahara's Sunshine... . . . Rise, rise, rise, Sunflower Sunrise... . . . Dream, dream, dream, Seagull Dream... . . . Sing, sing, sing, Ocean Lily... . . . Fly, fly, fly, Dancing Butterfly, fly, fly, fly, Dancing Butterfly... fly high, fly high, fly high, fly high... "Go with the flow!", "go with the flow!" Sway, kundalini, lay it on me! "Go with the flow!", "go with the flow!" Sway, kundalini, lay it on me, here in Yasgur's Treehouse... . . Far out!  "You'll find something that's enough to keep you But if the bright lights don't receive you You should turn yourself around and come back home" MB20 |

Noah, Been there, did that, wanting to do it AGAIN! LOL! Thanks for the memories.  It was a special age, but not one I'd like to repeat, for those, like myself, who I'm sure will understand. Even so, gotta tell ya, the music was a whole LOT better back then. Noah, meant in a good way, you're a hippie at heart, one I will always be. The stars will shine when I am gone, |

Noah Being a child of the sixties I have a great appreciation for this piece....Fine selection of pictures and that strong feeling of breaking away that was felt in that time frame...A time when new things were imagined, and so by, upset the conservatives of that time, who are now (as always) been afraid of change... Good job ___________ice ><> |
