Would you be surprised that the highest-paid performer at Woodstock was Jimi Hendrix at $18,000, more than double Janis Jopin's or Jefferson Airplane's payment of $7,500 each, or  Santana a mere $750 for the historic 3 day festival on a dairy farm in Woodstock, NY?

Above is a price list of what the performers were paid. 

Priceonomics said the pre-sale tickets were $18 for the event, but many attendees took advantage of the lack of security crashed the event.  The article also indicated that Hendrix played the last day of the festival and only 10% of the concert-goers heard his now-famous version of "The Star-Spangled Banner" on his guitar.

The dairy farmer received only $10,000 for use of his property and ended up sustaining five times that in damages.

It is hard to believe it now has been 18 years ago today that planned attacks took place on our soil resulting in a senseless loss of life for so many people who were just going to work, flying to a destination or just going about their daily lives.  

Metro UK has a collage and listing of victims from that day published on the 14th anniversary in 2015.   The list is staggering and puts it in perspective; you keep scrolling, expecting to see the end, but you don't. 

I have read posts that indicate more lives were lost on 9/11 than at Pearl Harbor, and that does not even include the police, fire and rescue units or those that have succumbed to related deaths since that time.

It is a day that forever changed our lives and my heart and prayers go out to all of the families that lost loved ones on this fateful day.

Back in the dark ages when I was in early grade school, they actually taught this trick in school to help students remember the lengths of the months to know which ones have 30 days and which months had 31, except for that sneaky short month, February.
