mmb Fox Hollow Memories? (25) RE: Fox Hollow Memories? 29 Oct 02


It's ironic that when I started this thread I didn't realize that I would be unable to pull up a critical element of my very first memory of the Festival - '72, I think.

I was helping set up the Information Booth/Lost & Found at the top of the hill. (Weren't the Niskayuna kids part of that crew, too, George?) We were setting up the booth as the sound crew worked on placing the speakers. It was a gloriously-sunny day, with the blue sky showing through gently-swaying leaves. The air was filled with background sounds: cars and carts entering and leaving the Craft Area, hammers and voices contributing to the sense of expectation. And then, like magic, a tune that I have ever since identified with Fox Hollow came from the speakers - and I can't remember what it was!!! I can't recall a word, or a musical phrase, but I need only recall the incident to recover that special feeling. (I think the voice may have been Bill Steele, and the song may have been A Thousnad Songs.) Can anyone confirm or correct that guess?

Thinking of Lost & Found, I believe that was also the year that we brought all of the Lost & Found items down to the Main Stage on Sunday afternoon and used them as lyrics in a customized version of "These Are A Few of my Favorite Things."    M.
