Keep The Dream Flowing - Celebrating the History of Woodstock 1969 – Details, episodes & analysis

Here we have nothing less than the most magical episode of KEEP THE DREAM FLOWING ever!!! In this ridiculously special episode, we present the KEEP THE DERAM FLOWING panel discussion live from THE MUSEUM AT BETHEL WOODS! Hosted by our own Scott Parker and Bethel Woods Museum Curator, Julia Fell (who did most of the work!), the panel features an ALL-STAR group of Woodstock attendees and previous KTDF VIPs PATRICK COLUCCI, GEORGE KLITSCH, STEPHEN BROWN, PAUL DITTMER, JEANNIE WHITWORTH and MOLLY O’REILLY McCOY, as well as Woodstock site designer and engineer par excellence CHRIS LANGHART, and KTFD first-timer VIPs, attendee DIANNE BLAIR and none other than the Father Of Live Concert Sound himself, BILL HANLEY!!! This was an incredible, magical event that we know you will all enjoy!

IN MEMORY OF JACK LOKENSKY 1965-2024

As some of you may already know, our brother Jack, co-host of this podcast, passed away peacefully over the weekend. Before he left us, Jack hosted what would become his final interview. And what a special interview this is, as Jack and Erin chat with none other than MOLLY O’REILLY McCOY, Woodstock attendee and keeper of the Woodstock flame! Molly is a FABULOUS conversationalist, and you can expect to hear more for her on this show!

This is for you, Jack. You will NEVER be forgotten <3

We are BACK, baby! We took a longish break, but we have returned with more Woodstock 1969 stories! In this special episode, we chat with BOB SOMMER, the cousin of that supremely underrated Woodstock artist, BERT SOMMER! Bob was but a child when Bert played at Woodstock, but still got to see him play there, and has great stories to share! All this and more! Oh, and if you listen past the end, you might just hear a few words from Bert himself! This is part two of two! Check out Bob’s internet radio station at www.shoutingfire.com to hear some amazing music!

KEEP THE DREAM FLOWING – THE LOST EPISODES!!

Way back in 2021, the original server we were using to host the first 60+ episodes of KEEP THE DREAM FLOWING mysteriously vanished, and the episodes, while never technically unavailable, became harder to find once we migrated to a new server. We are pleased and proud to begin the long-overdue task of migrating the episodes over to the new server, to have them all in the same place at last!

What we have here is a chat with That Gutsy Lady, NANCY LEE BENTLEY, all-around renaissance woman and author of the most excellent book WOODSTOCK WINDOW ON FOOD AND HEALTH! Nancy is more than a bit of a health guru and has lots of useful information to impart here. Oh yeah, did we mention that she also attended Woodstock and has a great story to tell? This one is VIBRANT!!

KEEP THE DREAM FLOWING RETURNS! After a hiatus, we are BACK!! Our first new episode in a while is a wickedly cool thing – we have an interview with our friend STEVE KATZ, former guitarist with Woodstock giants BLOOD, SWEAT & TEARS and head honcho of THE BLUES PROJECT! In this episode, Steve talks about the essential new BS&T documentary WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO BLOOD, SWEAT & TEARS? which has been playing in theaters of late and will soon be available on streaming platforms! The film documents the band’s 1970 U.S. State Department-sponsored/forced goodwill tour behind the Iron Curtain and explores the backlash the band got as a result of the tour. It’s a must watch!!

What we have here is a delightful and fun interview with none other than our good friend, the eternally lovely ELLEN COHEN, who has one of the more interesting of stories about attending Woodstock! It’s a pretty funny story involved in getting separated from her friend for three days of peace, love and music! This episode is one that we’ve waited to release for quite a while… In its original form, back in 2019, this was one of the episodes that was most challenged in terms of quality due to the circumstances, under which it was recorded. We have used AI to clean up some of the background noise. It is still not perfect and probably never will be, but hopefully you will find it to be a much more enjoyable listen than in its original form. In any case, it’s a great interview, and an important one as well!

And boy oh boy, do we have a good one for ya! There are few people who can honestly say that they were at the epicenter of the creation of Woodstock Nation than the amazing Ticia Agri! As Michael Lang‘s assistant, Ticia was intimately involved in the creation of the Woodstock Music and Art Fair, and can fairly be considered one of the most important figures in the history of the festival. She has so many great stories to share, and in this episode, we get to hear just a precious few of them. This is the second of two episodes, and those are two of our best and most important!

In this episode, we pay tribute to the late, great RICHIE HAVENS! This features a rare interview with the man himself, a very revealing chat about his life and career and with some music thrown in as well!

In this premiere episode, we flash back to 2019 – Woodstock was about to celebrate its 50th Anniversary, and we were very much looking forward to an exciting weekend at the YASGUR ROAD REUNION! Here we have the one and only JERYL ABRAMSON talking about that year’s Reunion, the motivation to make that a yearly event and much more!
