Overview

What if one backyard party could map the beating heart of Rock 'n' Roll-and the history of peace and love it powered? KYANA WOODSTOCK: One More Day of Peace and Music is a memoir that turns a generation's soundtrack into a lived practice. We inherit slogans-Peace, Love, Music-but often lose the messy, human, funny, contradictory stories that gave them meaning. Many know Woodstock as a poster, not a practice. This book restores the connective tissue between riffs and reckonings, between teenage earworms and community rituals. Part 1 gathers 69 vivid coming-of-age vignettes from the 1960s and 1970s-first Beatles jolts, The Cabin with friends, first concerts, rites of passage, freedom found and its fallout. Part 2 chronicles 24 years of Kyana Woodstock, the backyard festival that began with 14 friends and a TV, grew to live bands and fireworks, and leapt to the Lincoln Amphitheatre-interwoven with candid ""Sideroads,"" archival invites and articles from the ""Ministry of Propaganda,"" and nods to The Game of LIFE. Expect an unbuttoned, respectful voice-even on politics and faith-and an epilogue dreaming toward 2044. Andrew Verkamp is a classic Rock 'n' Roll child of the '60s and a veteran transformation leader who has guided 87 businesses through culture change-part Clark Kent, part super-hippie. A husband, father, and grandfather, he finally lets the hidden author loose in his first book. Open these pages for One More Day of Peace and Music-and find your own way back to the life you want to sing.
