There's something intriguing, too, about the hall in Nelson, NH, which has had a contra dance once a week without fail for 200 years--except for the night Pearl Harbor was bombed. Ghostly dancers as well as ghostly musicians. Hymns, Shape Note music, and Contra--our New England musical heritage. And of course I'm still reading! Has it been that long since I commented? I guess it has. I've been reading the internet, but not interacting much, in general, I think. :) I love the idea of ghostly musicians in our landscape.

Hey! Nice to know you are still reading. :) So what's your take on the mysterious musicians of the pastoral Western Mass? Colonial frontier ghosts? Liz! Hey! Nice to know you are still reading. :)
