We were looking through some of our hard-to-find and limited inventory. That’s when we came across this pin set that had all but been lost in our memories. It certainly made us remark on the difficulty in finding Beatles pins and pin sets as of late. With the game coming up this weekend, it also made us remember his pre-game performance on this very day (2/3) 2002. Barry Manilow also performed during the pre-game and U2 was the half-time act. That’s not too shabby.

Thanksgiving 2015
The holidays are here. This has always been a poignant moment for me. Woodstock Trading Company opened our doors in 1988 and many of our first customers were in high school or in their early 20’s. Many have moved away from the south Jersey area over time. However, during the holiday times so many return to this area to visit family. Woodstock has become somewhat of a destination stop for our many people. They come to visit and bring us their children and grandchildren as well. The circle that binds us is the love of music and art that defines the rock & roll experience. Thank you all for being part of my family. Keep in touch…fondly MOM.

Mom’s Thought for 4th of July
Looking forward to the 4th of July. It is another holiday where you do not have to be stressed about purchasing gifts or any obligations. I love working on these holidays!! Woodstock has been opened for 26 years and is family friendly in many ways. Kids who were in our store when it opened are now parents and also grandparents. We have had the pleasure of seeing these generations in our store over the years. However, many of you have moved away and it is during the holidays that people return to see family members who still live in the Delaware valley. Seth has been announcing HAPPY HOURS on different days and he says we will do a HAPPY DAY for the 4th by giving a 10% discount on any purchases for this day…. I will be in the store on the 4th from 11-3pm…please if you are in the area come in and say HI MOM!!

Happy Birthday to Phil Lesh
Happy Birthday Phil Lesh
March 15, 1940 is the birthday of Phil Lesh, bass player for The Grateful Dead and still going strong. Phil Lesh and Friends formed in 1998, after he’d returned to performing following the death of Jerry Garcia in 1995. His musical journey remains fresh by constantly and consistently putting together bands featuring exciting musicians and singers, therefore, keeping the music of the Grateful Dead moving forward into the future.
Some of the members who comprised the Phil Lesh and Friends ensemble over the years include a who’s who of performers: Trey Anastasio and Page McConnell of Phish, Jorma Kaukonen, David Nelson, John Molo, John Scofield, Greg Osby, Ryan Adams, Larry Campbell and Teresa Williams, Warren Haynes, Jimmy Herring, Joan Osborne, Derek Trucks, Susan Tedeschi, Bill Payne and Paul Barrere of Little Feat.

When it comes to personal performances, everyone has problems. One must sometimes think out of the box for a solution. For example, on this day (march 12th) 1963, The Beatles played at the Granada Cinema in Bedford. John Lennon, suffering from a terrible cold, was unable to perform. The band rearranged the set so that George and Paul could sing the parts that John wold have done. It makes me wonder how many times major musicians have adapted to unusual situations. We would love to hear from our homies about their experiences with live performances. Keep in touch.

Mom’s Nostalgic Moment
Received our allotment of Relix Magazines in our store and it was truly a nostalgic magic moment. So many of the articles and interviews are very powerful and personal to my life and the era in which we worked to put our store together. The article “What’s Become of the Betty Boards certainly had me remembering all the fans coming into the store with their tapes to get copies of the Grateful Dead concerts. We had to make a data base so that everyone could pick the shows they wanted us to put on tape for them. In turn they would trade with other fans and increase their library of music. How different it is today! However, we still have our tape library and offer anyone free dubbing of anything that we have. Some of the old timers have brought their tapes in for us to offer FREE to anyone. There was always some excitement when new tapes came in from the tapers sections and many of course from the “Betty Boards” found their way to us.
