A lushly illustrated children’s book that tells the tale of the big-hearted and plain-spoken dairy farmer, Max Yasgur, who entered rock and roll history when he said YES, after so many others said NO, to three days of peace and music, on his farm in Bethel, NY in August 1969.
|
There really was a huge music festival called Woodstock and there really was a dairy farmer, Max Yasgur, who helped make it possible by saying, “Yes.” Woodstock took place on August 15, 16 and 17, 1969 in the rural town of Bethel, New York. Posters advertising the festival promised “three days of peace and music.”
