WOODSTOCK NATION
A NATION WITHOUT BORDERS
We started in BIG SUR, moved to San Francisco, and from there Woodstock and the World.
Pat Boyd and "Boydsville"
Following the end of World war ll , Pat Boyd bought a small piece of property on the coast side of Highway 1 at Gorda and built himself a Japanese style cottage where he lived doing Zen meditation and producing simple art from found objects. Gorda was strategicly situated near the edge of Monterey County and San Louis Obispo County so no police from either county were around to interfere with Pats's beatnik life-style and its accompanying use of Marijuana and other intoxicants.
Hollywood types who liked to buzz their sports cars up the coast road on their way to their hangouts in the Carmel Highlands and Pebble Beach, would discretely visit with Pat and share fresh Acapulco Gold, scored in San Diego for a $100 a kilo, as well as other exotic imports to bend the brain. In the rarefied atmosphere of saltwater, sage, and pot, the " Road People" and Pat developed a communial comradry that is best described in Jack Keroac's "Dharma Bums". Many were jazz musicians on there way to work at the Colony Club on Alvarado Street in Monterey and the Jazz Workshop on Broadway in San Francisco's North Beach. Sounds of trumpets and saxaphones swirled above the wave-washed rocks. Substance use and abuse came and went with the tide as comedy and tragedy shared the "South Coast" stage.
