Forty years on: the 'Summer of Love' in retrospect (Part 2)

[This article has been reposted on my History blog]

Since the summer has returned here in the UK, I have returned to my review of online articles about the summer of 1967. First up, we have several reminiscences shared by denizens of San Joaquin County, CA on Recordnet.com's 'Recalling 1967's Summer of Love'. For other memories of that summer see the comments on James M. Kushiner's 'The Summer of Love at 40' article at Touchstone Magazine's Mere Comments blog.

The 2b1 Records website gives details of an Anniversary Concert co-ordinated by Boots Hughston, to be staged in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco on September 2nd. Many famous faces from 1967 will be performing, including 'Country' Joe McDonald and (what remains of) Canned Heat. A site dedicated to 30th anniversary celebrations of 'the Summer of Love' is still on-line.

Ah, yes! I lived through that era. I just wish I could remember more of it!

I still have old vinyl of Country Joe and the Fish. Plus other stuff that you can't find on CD these days.
Interesting times...
