Rock & Roll related vinyl, posters, books, video. Objects specific to the 1969 Woodstock Music & Art Fair, its origins and history & it's patron saint; Max Yasgur. Memorabilia related to Felix Pappalardi, Jack Bruce, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Duane Allman, Grace Slick, Cab Calloway, Abbie Hoffman, Jack Kerouac and the beginning of rock & roll music.

It includes working blueprints drawn for Woodstock Ventures in the weeks prior to the festival in August of 1969, which were salavaged from trash left at the curb by the Sullivan County sheriff's office, archivally preserved and framed in wood reclaimed from the festival site. These were displayed on loan, in the lobby of the Museum at Bethel Woods during its 40th anniversary season. Also an iconic hand painted sign named "the tabletop" which was famously photographed before the festival, nailed to a fencepost protesting Max's proposed "hippy music fest". An original periodical advertisement for Oldsmobile's Super 88 Rocket car that most likely served as inspiration for what is considered by many to be the first rock & roll record by Jackie Brenston - Rocket 88 - original 78 rpm records of same. A kiss on the cheek by Joni Mitchell.

Thousands.

It is on display and in storage at my home. Two different appraisals are in print and on DVD.

It's my intention to take a traveling museum to outdoor events around the country for a couple years, culminating with the donation of one of a kind, irreplaceable objects to museums in Seattle, WA., Cleveland, OH., and Bethel, NY. on the 50th anniversary of the Woodstock festival in 2019.
