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.

Mark Your Calendar (And Get One, TOO)
What happened to summer?! I just looked at my calendar and it is already fall with Halloween just around the corner. In fact, we are planning to have two bands for a FREE concert on October 26th. The bands are Killing Aunt Grace (a cigar box band with handmade instruments made out of cigar boxes), and April Mae and the June Bugs. Not only will this be a free concert, but it will also be a costume event. It will be Halloween time. We want to make this fun for everyone. However, if you dress up like a hippie, we will not consider it a costume. As far as we are concerned, that is everyday attire. LOL!
Discussing Halloween makes me realize that the holidays a just as close, especially for anyone wanting to have items shipped in time for gift giving. When someone asks me to suggest a special gift, I always think about giving something that will last all year long. The first thing that comes to mind is a wall calendar. Of course, it is a Grateful Dead calendar. This year’s 2014 Grateful Dead calendar features the artwork of Mike Dubois.
He has produced Grateful Dead artwork since the beginning of the band’s history. Most everyone has seen some of his work at various times of their lives. I have saved and cherished my personal Dead calendars from over the years. My only caveat for those who purchase a calendar from Woodstock is this; the calendar is not to have any bad notes. If you have a dentist appointment, buy another calendar. I jest, I jest. Or do I? Don’t forget that we have other 2014 wall calendars, too.Always remember to save the Dead calendar from each year and always say, “Thank you for a real good time!”
Fondly,

Who Is The Million Dollar Quartet?
Hey Now! Jim from Woodstock Trading Company, here, and I want to tell you all about an awesome new item that Woodstock has in stock. The item that I speak of is “The Million Dollar Quartet” poster. Does the name ring any bells? If you are a fan of Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, or Carl Perkins, the name might mean something to you. If not, let me fill you in on the back-story.
The Million Dollar Quartet Poster. From Left To Right- Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash.
Click on the image to go to our website.Back in December of 1956, a 21-year-old Elvis decided to pay a visit to his old recording studio, Sun Records in Memphis, TN. Carl Perkins was already in the studio cutting some new material with is brothers, Jay and Clayton and drummer W.S. Holland. Studio owner, Sam Phillips, had brought in a then, unknown, Jerry Lee Lewis to play piano for the session. While the five musicians played away in the studio, Elvis and Phillips were having a chat in the engineering booth. The King of Rock n’ Roll approached Perkins and the gang after hearing the playback of the recording session and the jam began to start. A short time later, Johnny Cash walked into the studio and joined the jam session. This became the first documented “Super Group”. The rest is history.
The “Million Dollar Quartet” poster is great for any music fan, young or old. It truly captures a great moment in music history. Without these four men, music might not be what it is today. If you are looking for an eye-catching image to add to your wall, look no further. This poster is just amazing. Stop by our website or click on the image above to check it out.
Take care everyone and we hope to see you soon… Jim of Woodstock
