It’s Saturday night in West Tisbury and the Agricultural Hall is throbbing with good music, food and conversation. It’s one of those Island style potluck bashes concocted from the fact that Todd Follansbee is passing into his sixth decade. So he and Deborah Mayhew decided to celebrate with others turning 60 this year; and then — what the hell — with everyone. And most of us showed up. Bands tag-teamed all night — Tristan and Paul with Niki Patton, the Tashmoo Trio, Deborah Mayhew and Charlie Leighton, Katie Mayhew and Sidra Dumont, William Waterway on flute, the Flying Elbows, and, for some real boogie-style dancing, the Bodes.

Who knew turning 60 would be so much fun? — Sam Low
