    My name is Edward Buendia, I grew up in California graduated in 1972. I purchase the Woodstock album in 1970 and all my high school friend signed the album and to this day I still have the album with the signatures, it was good times, even growing up with the sound of chopper flying over my house everyday. I am a artist today and work with children. Now I can put a face to my album cover.
