Woodstock.
On Sunday, my kids will take the stage at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as part of School of Rock’s Woodstock Festival. Each of the three local Schools of Rock will perform a shortened version of their full Summer Woodstock shows.
Here’s a short preview of what you’ll see. Donovan on vocals, and Norah holding down the bass and adding more vocals, on Sly & Family Stone’s Sing a Simple Song.
The performance runs from 2 - 5 on Sunday on the big stage on the Rock Hall plaza. The music is free; the love isn’t (they’re just kids after all).
Here’s what I read this week.
