HIPPIE HAPPINESS FROM SIR DOUG
What Year Did You Say This Was?
June 1, 1981
Last summer, after offering 15 seasons of pop mania at a fair price, the Central Park Music Festival came to a spectacular end. The 10,000 paid admissions and God-knows-how-many freebies on the grass and trees were there to see the Pretenders, but no one was disappointed when the familiar humpity organ strains of �She�s About A Mover� identified the opening act. The �New� Sir Douglas Quintet was in town to cut an album, and their still-perky 60�s flavor was especially heartwarming to those of us who remembered being at the Festival�s opening in 1966. Was it true that some good things didn�t have to change?
