Martha’s Vineyard is remarkable for its intimate communities.

The memories come flood ing back during the imposed isolation of the pandemic.

I really had no idea what to expect as I approached the Chilmark Community Center a little after 7 p.m. on Saturday night, but I hoped it would be like days of old when — as teenagers — we would make the long trek from down-Island to square-dance or listen to folksingers like Jesse Benton or David Gude. I was not disappointed.
