Wavy Gravy: “Please Chief” of Woodstock

Hugh Romney, otherwise known as Wavy Gravy, was an American figure of the 1960s counter culture. Gravy helped establish the “Hog Farm” commune in California. In 1967 the Hog Farm began traveling the country as entertainers in converted school buses. Then the Woodstock organizers invited the group to their music festival in 1969.
