Then, making the Rhode Island scene was sometimes-more important than the music. Newport was sea breezes, tailgate parties in the parking lot, sun-bathing at the af- ternoon concerts and a relatively short commute for Bostonians. Since 1974, the festival has been swimming in black ink and producer George Wein busier than ever. Schlitz Beer helped maintain the festival above water for several years and continues to support the undertaking. Now, with the revenue accruing from the program ads and ticket sales, the New York presentation is much more commercially viable.

Beyond the publicity given it by the New York press, you'd never know there was a festival in town. Manhattan's size tends to subjugate events to an undeserved anonymity, regardless of capacity turnouts. This is a New York show, make no mistake. The old Rhode Island crowd even its dailies who used to saturate their pages with festival news took a quick look at the new address, realized they were now outsiders and didn't return. There is a big difference, however.

"No matter how polite they are to. you and they usually are they have those awful guns. They look you up and down as you approach, they pick through your pocketbook, and when, they frisk you when their hands touch me I shiver all over." The soldiers know two things. They know that 400 of their number have been killed doing this kind of work the Troubles began again. And they know that women, even children, have been used as couriers for bombs, guns, ammunition.

They suspect everything. They get shot at, stoned, reviled, almost daily. From their armored enclosure on an isolated hilltop overlooking the Bogside, they sally forth to patrol the sullen ghetto.
