I could not do a color theme on My Lost Treasure without including today's song from Donovan.  It was a big song when I was a kid, and I still love it.  I remember hearing that Paul McCartney does the backup vocals.  Everyone used to say it was Paul saying "quite rightly" in the song.  I later learned that Paul is on backup vocals, but does not sing that phrase.

I almost met Donovan.  In 1998 WPDH broadcasted live from Bethel for A Day in the Garden.  It wasn't yet Bethel Woods, it was just the Woodstock grounds.  Donovan was one of the performers.  We were all staying at The Concord, including Donovan.  One morning we were both out front waiting for our rides.  I smiled and he politely smiled back.  Yup, I almost met him.

It was a great concert with not only Donovan, but Stevie Nicks, Don Henley, Pete Townshend, Joni Mitchell, and many more.  And it paved the way for Bethel Woods Center for the Arts, one of my all time favorite concert venues.  Enjoy the rest of the weekend.
