Fifty years ago this month, half a million young people gathered on a farm in New York for the Woodstock Music Festival. KCBX shares the stories of San Luis Obispo County residents who were there. 

In this segment, we hear from BJ Semmes of Atascadero, Bill Seavey of Cambria and Alice McNeely of San Luis Obispo—all three were living on the East Coast in the summer of 1969.
