88.5 FM Woodstock Re-Creation

The Beauvilles, loud, punky re-creation of The Who

Words from 88.5 FM Program Director, Randy Wynne

Randy Wynne is still reeling from last night's Woodstock Tribute. "This was one of the best - if not the very best - WMNF events ever. Highlight after highlight, too many to list here but I may do so later, or post them from youtube if they show up there. ...Every band rose to the occasion with truly inspired music and theatrics. I dare say in some cases they surpassed the original Woodstock music.

1) Shawn Kyle and The Beauvilles loud, punky re-creation of The Who in the mode of young rebels making a generational statement (to aging baby boomers), with their set opening with "My Generation" and closing with "Young Man Blues"; and yes, Shawn did smash a perfectly good guitar. 2) Macon GA singer Jessica Alkinson as Janis Joplin, 18 years old and what a voice! 3) Scott Elliot as Joe Cocker, a revelation!"
