It was Labor Day weekend, 1969, two weeks after Woodstock, 
and thousands of hippies and lovers of peace and music converged 
on the small town of Lewisville, just north of Dallas, at the 
Texas Pop Festival 
to be and to see and to hear the music of
 
B.B.King
, Canned Heat, Chicago, Delaney & Bonnie & Friends
Freddie King
, Grand Funk Railroad, Herbie Mann
Incredible String Band
, James Cotton Blues Band, Janis Joplin
Johnny Winter
, Led Zeppelin, Nazz, The Quarry, Rotary Connection
Sam & Dave
, Santana, Shiva's Headband, Sly & the Family Stone
Space Opera
, Spirit, Sweetwater, Ten Years After and Tony Joe White!

Now, after all these years, a book is in the making!
Yes, I'm still working on it!

Note: Rotary Connection's Sidney Barnes told me a sad story. 
He has absolutely no pictures of the band playing on stage- not just at the Texas Pop Festival, but anywhere! 
If anyone out there has any photos of Rotary Connection, please email me
Peace, Richard

Thanks to Russell "Shaggy" Kingston for his generous help on this site.

Blow your mind

This site is dedicated to John Allen Shope
who died at the festival of heat stroke
and to an unknown person who was born there.
