Awesome Woodstock Album and Music Offers

One of the most tragic stories of the 1990s rock world was that of singer Shannon Hoon, and his band, Blind Melon. Despite scoring one of the decades most enduring singles and videos, No Rain, and a quadruple platinum hit with their 1992 self-titled debut album (in addition to touring alongside rocks biggest names), Hoon could not overcome a dangerous drug addiction. Only two records into a promising career, Hoon was dead from an overdose at the age of 28. A Devil on One Shoulder and an Angel on the Other is the first book to tell the groups storyculled from over 50 exclusive interviews (including the surviving band members and those closest to the band) and featuring many never-before-seen photos. I am honored that Greg has painstakingly accounted for what the hell happened during those crazy times. He has summed up all the chaos, jubilation, and paranoia that is Blind Melon. -Brad Smith, Blind Melon bassist.

"[Morse is] the most prickly, conceited, and genuinely brilliant detective since Hercule Poirot."

--The New York Times Book Review

"YOU DON'T REALLY KNOW MORSE UNTIL YOU'VE READ

HIM. . . . Viewers who have enjoyed British actor John Thaw as Morse in the PBS Mystery! anthology series should welcome the deeper character development in Dexter's novels."

--Chicago Sun-Times

Beautiful Sylvia Kaye and another young woman had been seen hitching a ride not long before Sylvia's bludgeoned body is found outside a pub in Woodstock, near Oxford. Morse is sure the other hitchhiker can tell him much of what he needs to know. But his confidence is shaken by the cool inscrutability of the girl he's certain was Sylvia's companion on that ill-fated September evening. Shrewd as Morse is, he's also distracted by the complex scenarios that the murder set in motion among Sylvia's girlfriends and their Oxford playmates. To grasp the painful truth, and act upon it, requires from Morse the last atom of his professional discipline.

"Few novelists write books as intelligent and deliciously frightening as those by Colin Dexter. . . . What Mr. Dexter does so well, so brilliantly, is weave a thick, cerebral story chock-full of literary references and clever red herrings."

--The Washington Times

"A MASTERFUL CRIME WRITER WHOM FEW OTHERS MATCH."

--Publishers Weekly

This book explores the folk-rock scene from mid-1966 to the end of that decade, when folk-rock began spinning and splintering into many different directions that continue to influence music today. The book traces the interwoven web of innovations and influences that brought folk-rock to new peaks and also marked the inevitable close of the movement's first and most exciting phase. The memorable and varied artists profiled here range from the Mamas and the Papas, Fairport Convention, and the Byrds, to Buffalo Springfield and Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young - not to mention more psychedelic acts such as Jefferson Airplane and the Grateful Dead, and singer-songwriters like Joni Mitchell. Based on dozens of firsthand interviews with top musicians such as Roger McGuinn, Donovan, John Sebastian, and Arlo Guthrie, as well as dozens of photographs, Eight Miles High portrays the creative ferment of the late-'60s folk-rock scene in all its glory..

In 1969, Greg Walter was hired by Woodstock Ventures to help create a music festival to be held on a farm in upstate NY. Greg built the stages, worked on the Art Crew, and while helping to make history, took a lot of pictures Photographs he developed, then put into a shoebox under his parent's bed, where they lay forgotten for nearly 40 years.

Shortly after Woodstock ended, a warrant was issued for his arrest as a Viet Nam War Protester and Greg was forced to flee to Canada for sanctuary.

After President Jimmy Carter's amnesty in 1977, Greg returned to the country he loved, and while taking care of a parent in 2005, he discovered the photographs, still under the bed.

It was a magic moment when he opened the box and saw those photos again--pictures of Woodstock that have never been seen before by anyone--and believing that others would feel the same way about them, felt compelled to write a narrative to share these photos, and his amazing experience with the world..
