Topic “Massachusetts”

Lucy Neal (Minstrel Banjo & Bones)

The Royalston Road Roustabouts performing Lucy Neal at the Fall Festival of Forgotten Arts in Rutland, Massachusetts on October 1, 2011.

The extreme damp had made my banjo head a little bit slack, which resulted in a noticeable loss of volume (especially when competing against two pairs of ebony bones!)

Conquer Massachusetts, RISK Style

Massachusetts Lux Map Battle for the Bay State! 14 countries corresponding to the counties and islands of Massachusetts, divided into three continents. A small map, but surpisingly fun. (Cape Cod can be harder to hold on to than it looks!) Design-wise, I was inspired by the classic 1970's/early 1980's game board I grew up with.

Dana Common

Dana, Massachusetts

Although Dana Center was not among the settlements flooded during the creation of the Quabbin reservoir, it was close enough to the watershed that it too was disincorporated. All of the buildings and houses were either dismantled or burned, but the town common remains, surrounded by cellar holes. It's a sad place, especially late in the afternoon as the sun sets.

Dark Hollow

Dana, Massachusetts

A road branches off from Dana common and dips through a dark stand of trees before emerging in a large pasture on the other side. You can see the crumbling pavement on the other side of the hollow.

On the Road to Dana

Dana, Massachusetts

It's hard to imagine horses and automobiles travelling along the silent, empty road to Dana Common.
