The Night They Lit Up The Lantern in Wassaic!

Posted on April 3, 2015

Our own Job Yacubian, from The Farmer’s Wife, changed roles and served up some music the other night at The Lantern in Wassaic and sat in with some of his pals from Martha’s Vineyard, The Rattleslacks, consisting of Shawn Barber, lead, and Josh Campbell and William Thomas Lawrence.

Job can usually be found in the kitchen of The Farmer’s Wife where you will often find me eating in the front.

You might wonder why I am covering something as far away as Wassaic, all of 20 minutes south on Rte 22 just beyond the train station, but it is close enough to be a local attraction.  And, by the way, the pizza is tops! I am an authority on wood-fired pizza although I don’t remember the name of the one we ate, so you should try them all.

WHY THIS WEBSITE

I came to Pine Plains by choice, not by chance of birth.

But the small-town rural community I chose is changing. The farmers have, for the most part, sold to people from the city and fields are becoming lawns.

And, like the land, people, too, are becoming subdivided as difference breeds distance rather than discourse.

I have been making these videos to preserve and reconstitute what I can of a changing way of life and to share it with the community.

On a more personal level, I am making this website as a way of holding on to the reasons why I came here.
