Manassas Symphony is paying tribute to a famous Rock n’ Roll album that used Manassas in their album art.
Ron Sharpe was a junior at Gar-Field High School in 1971 when he and his band mates were abuzz about rock and roll royalty visiting Manassas. Superstar Stephen Stills, famous already for being a part of both Buffalo Springfield and Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young, was a Civil War buff and brought his new band to town to shoot photos for an upcoming album.
