Three legends. (L-R) John Sebastian, Michael Lang and Henry Diltz.

Tidbits about these three delightful humans for those of you who do not fall into the category of rock-history nerd:

John Sebastian: Songwriter, musician. John's popular 60s group, the Lovin' Spoonful ("Do You Believe in Magic?") was only part of his contribution to pop culture. He's written music for films and television, working with Francis Ford Coppola and Woody Allen. Having played iconic festivals like Woodstock and the Isle of Wight in Europe, John was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2000.

Michael Lang: Promoter, producer. Most noted for co-creating and producing Woodstock, Michael produced some of the largest music festivals to date (see below). Also, he was the owner/producer of Just Sunshine Records who put out albums for Billy Joel, Betty Davis, Mississippi Fred McDowell, Karen Dalton, Blue Cheer and Copperhead.

1968: Miami Pop Festival / 1969: Woodstock / 1994: Woodstock / 1999: Woodstock / 2005: Amersterjam (Randall's Island, NYC)

Henry Diltz: Photographer, musician. Official photographer at Woodstock and the Monterey and Miami Music Festivals. Henry has photographed over eighty record album covers and (most importantly) is the co-founder of the Morrison Hotel Gallery.

Fun Fact: Henry played on a few recording sessions with the Monkees!


What wonderful company for a Thursday night at the Morrison Hotel Gallery.
