A Message from Al – Post-Stock 2024

Baystock 2024, it was a good one.  On Wednesday before Baystock, Kenny told me, “I think this is going to be the best Baystock ever, again”.  And I said, “Can it really just keep getting better forever?”  Kenny said, “So far”.

The music at Baystock is always great.  The musicians want to be here.  But this year the depth of the heart and soul all the musicians dug into was unprecedented.  Wow.  Cosmic.

On Monday and Tuesday after Baystock, Brigid, Sue, myself and others, scour the grounds for trash.  We found almost nothing, pat yourselves on the back.

Baystock is a big group effort, and we deserve a big group hug.  Thanks to everyone who helped out.  And thanks to everyone for coming to the woods.

Happy Baystock,  Al

Another best ever again.

Weather was good, a little warm.

Thanks to everyone that played and listened.

Let’s do it again next year.

 

Happy Baystock.

Alert from Al

Keep your eyes open for signs of Post Baystock Depression.  Don’t worry, this is normal, you will be ok.

Definition:  

  • As Baystock comes to a close, a vague feeling of being lost begins to set in.  It can start Saturday night, but commonly occurs Sunday afternoon.  This can go on for days or months, but usually disappears within a year.

Remedies: 

  • Watch videos and look at photos on Baystock.com
  • Make a list of things forgot this year
  • Start packing for next year
  • Set up a tent and sleep in it for a week
  • Wear the same clothes for three days in a row
  • Walk aimlessly through the woods wearing a Walkman
  • Sit by a campfire
  • Drink, smoke, phone a friend
  • Wait patiently, good things come to those who wait

Message From Al – Pre-stock 2023

Howdy Baystockers,
We just got done with a productive work weekend.  The entrance driveway has been improved with gravel, etc. Thanks Viking Motors, Dan Maki and Greg Belanger. Just because it’s better, don’t go fast. There are slow children at play, and I mean us!
The benches in the bowl have been worked on and the seating is good. The outhouses and shower are vacuumed and cleaned, and are ready for their intended purposes. There was a lot of weed whacking and firewood gathering.  So thanks to everyone that pitched in, and we’ll see everyone soon.
Happy Baystock,
Al

A message from Al

It’s easy to take things for granted when they’ve always been a part of your life.  I live in a beautiful forest next to a beautiful lake and I see it everyday.  So it becomes normal.  And still most days I say to myself, good god this is beautiful.

The same goes for Baystock.  It’s a part of our lives.  It seems normal.  You see it every year.  And it’s beautiful.  This is a special gathering.  And I think you all feel it.

It want to thank everyone for coming and for helping out.  Without you, Baystock would not be possible.  It was the best Baystock ever, again.

See you next Baystock,  Al
