ON WEDNESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 28, AMERICA LOST A MUSICAL TREASURE TO CANCER AND I LOST A DEAR FRIEND.

Lou Pallo was not widely known to the public. But to Keith Richards, Billy Gibbons, Brian May, Jimmy Page, and so many others, he was a genuine guitar hero. “The Man of a Million Chords,” Keef called him. As Les Paul’s rhythm guitarist for 22 years in the Les Paul Trio, his timing was so perfect they never needed a drummer.

I will soon be writing a more personal tribute to Lou for our blog page on the SST website. In the meantime, I’d like to share with you an interview with Lou conducted by SST’s Steven Acker a couple of years ago. We all send our heartfelt condolences and prayers to the Pallo family.
--JOHN HANTI, November 4, 2020

ON THIS 51st ANNIVERSARY WEEKEND OF WOODSTOCK, SST owner John Hanti relives his most unforgettable coming-of-age story during his “three days of peace and music.” It is an especially poignant memory in 2020 because this summer’s crop of young people now coming of age has no live music to enjoy, no peace to celebrate, and precious few good times to ease the sorrow of isolation.

We hope you enjoy John’s story and perhaps share it with your children to give them a ray of hope for tomorrow. May the joy and adventure of live music return in the Spring, may our kids be allowed to be kids again, and may they soon have an abundance of new adventures and memories to cherish forever, just as we cherish ours.

This is why Woodstock still matters: because we are still tribal beings, and our tribes still matter.

Yasgur’s Farm was like a battlefield in ruins. The few weary soldiers who survived somehow mustered the strength to shuffle up the hill as t
