It's another magical summer on Martha's Vineyard.
The West Tisbury Farmers Market on Saturdays never fails to delight with local food, produce, flowers and $250 alpaca hats. Thi Ken Tran, better known as "The Egg Roll Lady," continues to sell out her yummy egg rolls in the market's opening hours. I prefer her spring rolls.
Monday marked the opening of the 40th season of the Martha's Vineyard Chamber Music Society at the Edgartown Whaling Church. Beethoven, Brahms, Bruch, Schuller and Ravel pieces were performed on piano, cello and clarinet.
Earlier that day, firefighters across the island fought a huge blaze that consumed the Coast Guard boat house on Menemsha's harbor.
And last night, The Martha's Vineyard Film Festival featured a screening of Miracle in a Box, a documentary about the six-month restoration of a 1927 Steinway grand piano. Neighbor, sheep farmer and piano tuner extraordinare David Stanwood was on hand to answer questions and introduce Jared Redmond, the lucky guy who won the restored piano in a competition at U CAL Berkeley. Redmond performed several pieces on stage to close the night. Sublime.
