One of the historic early appearances, at the Texas International Pop Festival (August 30 to September 1) in Lewisville, just north of Dallas. Grand Funk opened all three days for free and made quite a sensation, just like they did in Atlanta [Pop Festival] nearly two months earlier. Standing ovations of an estimated 120.000 total had Grand Funk multi-encoring to the point Farner couldn't even walk off stage! (a common situation in later shows...) More than 12 hours worth of footage films stored at the Historic Films selves waiting in the obscurity for somebody to make a move... A movie! Just like a group of intelligent people did with Festival Express! Ironically, the Railroad was absent in that 1970 Express... More ironically, absent they were from Woodstock (even if they had been asked to play) because Mark was still recovering from some very bad beating a few weeks after the Atlanta triumph... (By most accounts, Grand Funk's first public appearance after Mark's incident was in front of 30.000 at the Centennial Park [Nashville Music Festival] August 22 - 24)

November 15th 1967: police discover an abandoned car beside Old Alton Bridge, five miles south of Denton, Texas. A rash of mysterious disappearances are becoming alarmingly routine on a chilling stretch of road that is known by locals as "the Goatman's bridge." Constructed in 1884, the bridge connected Lewisville to Alton. The turn of the century brought a black goat farmer and his family to a residence just North of the bridge, and a few short years later, Oscar Washburn was known as a dependable, honest businessman. North Texans endearingly began to call him the Goatman. But the success of a black man was still unwelcome, and Klansmen in the local government turned to violence after he displayed a sign on Alton Bridge: "this way to the Goatman's" One night in August 1938, with their headlights off, Klansmen crossed the bridge, dragged the Goatman from his family, and lynched him over the side. Peering over into the water, his murderers saw a rope, but not his body. In a panic, the Klansman returned to the Washburn residence, and killed his family in cold blood. Since the disappearance of the Goatman there have been many strange sightings on and near Old Alton Bridge. Some say his spirit still haunts these woods. Locals tell the story and follow it with a warning: those who cross the bridge with no headlights will be met on the other side by the Goatman. After numerous abandoned automobiles and missing persons, a new bridge was constructed directly downstream. But Old <b>...</b>
