SEYMOUR — A concert at Seymour Public Library on May 6 will take attendees back in time with Woodstock tributes.

Before Minneapolis entertainment impresario Owen Husney became Princes first manager, he was a concert promoter who hung out with Elvis Presley, Jimi Hendrix and Mick Jagger.

Janis Joplin once made a pass at him. He served as publicist and pimp for movie star/singer Richard Harris. He was even a rock star of sorts with the High Spirits, a Twin Cities garage band that had a 1965 local hit, Turn on Your Love Light.

Alice Cooper credits his religion for saving him from alcoholism.

The 70-year-old rocker was warned by doctors to quit drinking or die 37 years ago, when he woke up throwing up blood and was taken to hospital.

Richie Faulkner, known for blazing guitar solos in the group Judas Priest, is asked about his days before becoming a metal hero.

Speaking via phone from somewhere outside of Hartford (he wasn’t quite sure which town), where the legendary metal band was in production rehearsals for the current tour, London-raised Faulkner said he was introduced to rock music by his father’s Jimi Hendrix and Black Sabbath albums — leading to his love of the guitar.

Dave Mason is one of those lucky people who always knew what he was meant to do. The English singer-songwriter fell in love with the guitar as a teen. At 71, it still thrills him.

“When I was 15, girls were interesting, but I wanted a guitar,” he said. “That’s what I wanted.”

Watt M. Casey Jr.'s career in photography began with a missed opportunity. Casey was near the stage at a Jimi Hendrix show in San Antonio in 1970, without his camera. He made a point to bring it along to concerts from that point forward, which decades later has yielded "My Guitar is a Camera," a new book of photography with an emphasis on music and Austin in the 1970s and '80s.

DIA Director Salvador Salort-Pons picked the artworks, and concedes it was no easy task.

"Because of the variety and high quality of hundreds of art purchases and gifts in the last years," he said Friday, "it was difficult to choose only seven."

ANSONIA-Here’s a chance to see State Sen. George Logan in a different light.

On Friday night the Senator will take off his tie, remove his two-piece suit and forget about the state budget for a few hours. Instead he’ll dust off his wide brim hat with the flowing purple ribbon, grab his Fender Stratocaster and perform some of Jimi Hendrix greatest hits. He’ll even strum behind his back and maybe, just maybe if convinced, with his teeth.
