Just occurred to me the 40th Anniversary of the Isle of Wight Festival is coming this summer.
Just been watching some of those appearing.
Many of the artists that performed then, are going to be there this year.
That would have been something if Leonard had returned for that, singing the same songs...

Who was there--we were!!

Hi,
Yes I was there too, a question though, who else besides Melanie from 40 years ago will be playing? Its all a very hazy memory now !!

I catch myself wondering if L. saved the pajamas for the eventuality of a 'garden party', in a world where matches have become cyalume?

You're welcome. Wish I was there at the Isle of Wight, but I was only 14 years old. So glad I'm old enough now to see and hear LC NOW more than once

Congratulations Roan,
I know the feeling, it was October 1970 that my husband and I got married. We were at I.O.W together, we didn't know then what our fate was to be!!!
