Enter the world of Woodstock through a vivid, deeply personal memoir. Waves Upon the Sand is the first volume of Eric Greenberg’s chronological biography, tracing his life from birth through age eighteen, ending in 1972.
A firsthand story of a defining era, Music, activism, and personal memories
Told through hundreds of sequential, firsthand accounts, this memoir brings together childhood memories, teenage awakenings, and the moments that shaped Greenberg’s worldview. It places readers inside the counterculture movement as it happened, in Woodstock, New York, during one of the most culturally explosive eras in American history.

From marching on the Pentagon during the fall 1967 peace demonstration to chanting at the first Rainbow Gathering in Colorado, Greenberg’s youth was intertwined with the major social movements of the time.
Personal Anecdotes
From asking a young Bob Dylan to partner up at age ten to standing up to racist bullies to defend a friend, these stories reveal the humor, courage, and curiosity that shaped Greenberg’s early life.
