[edit] Miscellaneous
In an interview with WAMC Radio in Albany, NY broadcast on December 20, 2007, Melanie stated that the producers of the Woodstock Festival maintained offices in the same building that she did. Due to this, Melanie asked to be part of the Festival.
During her set the audience lit up candles to accompany the music. Later she wrote a song about that which was a great hit: "Lay Down (Candles in the Rain)" [2].
