Not sure who the young fan is, but the musician is longtime Vermonter Steve Spensley, playing at the Brattleboro Area Farmer’s Market some years ago.
Got me thinking of the title of that old German folk song, “Music Alone Shall Live” – there’s a nice reggae version here – which became the motto for the Iron Horse music venue in Northampton, MA.

From a performance at The Kate in Old Saybrook, CT, on April 18, 2019. Went with two old compadres, JA and JG; hard to say which of us enjoyed it the most, though I’ll give a slight edge to JG, who grew up in Texas, where these gals were raised.

Nothing ambiguous about this work; the spirit and attitude in the piece is, uh, easily discerned. And I didn’t even show the NSFW element. And the workmanship! Kudos!

Speaking of “a lifetime together”, this remarkable larger-than-life metal sculpture can be found on the Westminster West Road in Putney, next to High Meadows Farm. It was created by a neighbor who lives completely off the grid; Howard, the co-owner of High Meadows, says you’d want this man by your side if it ever came down to “survival”.

World renowned sculptor Jud Hartmann has studios in Grafton, VT and Blue Hill, ME, and has cast over seventy five bronze sculptures in his Woodland Tribes of the Northeast series. This one is called “Deerfield”; the story and a studio photograph can be found on his website here. Wandering around the gallery – I had the place to myself on a weekday afternoon in February – is like stepping into a time machine and going back three hundred years. It’s well worth a visit.

A magnificently rendered work of Chinese cursive in metal, perhaps eight feet tall, on a property overlooking RT 7. Best translation so far, reading from bottom to top: “wish you happiness and laughs”, courtesy of Claire at the CEAS program at Wesleyan U.
