49 years ago today. That must have really been something to see. Pretty amazing when you think about the music business now. An age of innocence in so many ways.

Thank you for posting! If I had time machine, this would be one of the first place I would like to be... Interesting, 15 August 1769, Napileon was born. What a beautiful change in the quality of the Earth's children, with only 200 years of time, a blink for eternity. And happy birthday great composer Michael Taraverdiev! He did not sell his soul and conscience to the Soviet regim. It cost him to be known only for his movie music work, beutiful, but classical part still be not known to a large pubblic. If he was not behind the iron curtain I can easely immagine him be present in Woodstock. RIP Maestro
