In the summer of 1970, Georgia had it's own Woodstock. Few know of the festival that rocked the little town of Byron Georgia halfway between Macon and Columbus in central Georgia. The lineup was monumental and equaled any rock festival any where. It took 10 years for the surrounding communities to come out of their shock from the onslaught of 300,000 people. I remember driving through the town of Roberta several years later and seeing for the first time the sign 'No shoes, no shirt, no food' in a local restaurant.
I remember very little of that music event, but the beer flowed, everyone shared roll your own cigarettes and the music was loud. WOW! Here's a little more on it.
