Stompin' 76 Alumni

From: GUEST,doc

I really hope to hear from folks that attended Stompin' 76.
It was a huge music fest in the summer of 1976 on the New River.
Bonnie Rait, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, David Braumburg, just to name a few.
Burl Ketchum and myself Emcee'd the entire show.
Estimates of attendance, have varied over the years from 170,000 to 425,000.
About 18 months ago I located the original promoter, (Hal Abramson) up around Baltimore, and shared a few memories. But nothing like those of us that were there for
nearly a month, start to finish.

                      Again, I hope to hear from survivors and friends.
                                                 My best to all, doc
