Dan Glasse was an original member of Yasgur’s Farm. In 1979, the year the band got started, not only was he our lead singer and front man, he played harp better than anyone I knew, and he was great on keyboards, as well. His main axe though, were congas, his rhythmic and melodic playing was mesmerizing.
We rode to almost every show together, five or six nights per week and he never missed a show, or was late. He was always prepared and ready to rock, for over ten years. During that time, the music we made was the music we loved, and the people did too, and we became very successful in NJ and the tri-state area.
He was truly a monster of a musician and band brother, but I will miss him most, as my friend.

An original member of Yasgur’s Farm, Dan Glasse is very sick.
We ask you to pray for our wonderful, super-talented friend.
Thank-you.
With a heavy heart, we say goodbye to Rocketman. There was never a more loyal fan. He lost his license for life, so he would ride his bicycle to our shows – sometimes 30 or 40 miles… and he would show up at every show, no matter rain or snow!
This went on for about 42 years. He was a combat veteran of the Vietnam War that came home with terrible PTSD. He was a good man, with a good heart. We will miss him much.

Marquis spotted recently at The Stone Pony, probably for the filming of the Springstein biopic being shot in the club.
I want to thank all our fans for coming to last night’s show at The Idle Hour. It was great to see and play for you all and I want to wish you a Happy New Year!

If you have never seen and heard the band, YASGUR’S FARM, then you are missing out on the most exciting musical happening since 1969!
*From August 15-18, 1969… approximately 500,000 people gathered at Max Yasgur’s 600 acre dairy farm for “The Woodstock Music and Arts Fair”. It was billed as an Aquarian Exposition.
