Right in my old stompin' grounds.  I used to live in Woodstock from '75 
to '85.  And there was even an old quarry behind my house dug to build 
all the stone walls which were everywhere.  But not terribly romantic 
like Opus 40.  As the story goes, the stone walls defined pig pens built 
during the 1st World War to raise pork for the troops.

And stones certainly defined Woodstock.  As Alf Evers, the local 
Woodstock historian would say:  "You know when you've gotten to 
Woodstock when you reach the place that has two stones for every dirt."

Yes, yes, it was *that* Woodstock.  The very same.
