Peace, unity, music radiate positivity: from woodstock to Bonnaroo
by: Elena Cawley
David Bruce, who launched the I am Bonnaroo project 10 years ago, first learned of Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival from reading an article in a music publication. “I was intrigued because I've always been fascinated with the '69 Woodstock Festival, which I learned about at a really young age through photos I found in a book in my school library while I was living in Nebraska. He lived in Omaha in the 1970s for a few years before leaving Nebraska. “I was born in Vermont and had lived in 10 states before graduating from high school. My father's job kept our family on the move. I've lived in New York for almost 40 years. I live in Coxsackie, New York, which is about two hours north of New York City.”
