BACK to the GARDEN: The Story of Woodstock separates myth from reality and fiction from fact. Renowned author and New York City disc jockey Pete Fornatale brings the iconic rock concert to vivid life through original interviews with Roger Daltry, Joan Baez, David Crosby, Richie Havens, Joe Cocker, and dozens of headliners, organizers, and fans. BACK to the GARDEN celebrates the music and spirit of Woodstock through the words of some of the era's biggest musical stars, as well as black-and-white photos.
Pete Fornatale is an award-winning broadcaster who has been a fixture on the New York City radio scene for the past forty years. The author of Simon and Garfunkel's Bookends, he can currently be heard nationally on Mixed Bag on XM Sirius Satellite Radio and in the New York area on WFUV radio.
In the spirit of giving back to the community throughout the year, there will be collection bins for non-perishable food donations for the Mayor’s Food Pantry and for items for Woodbridge Animal Shelter and Angel PAWS, a 501(c)(3), non-profit, all volunteer organization dedicated to relieving the suffering of and finding permanent homes for stray, abandoned and homeless animals. Items needed include cat and dog food (wet and premium dry), kitty litter, paper towels, paper plates, cleaning supplies (bleach, soap), towels, animal beds, toys, bathroom throw rugs, plastic garbage bags, grooming items (q-tips, cotton balls), and office supplies (paper, pens, etc.).
