Send us your Newport folk memories

The first folk festival in Newport was 50 years ago this summer, and we're looking for stories from longtime attendees for possible inclusion in a series of stories on the history of the event.

Were you there for the first festival, in 1959? How about when Dylan went electric? Were you there at the return of the festival in 1985? What was the worst weather you sat through? And just how many times have you seen The Indigo Girls?

Whatever your memories of the folk festivals, drop a line to Journal pop music writer Rick Massimo at rmassimo@projo.com.
