Twinkling Ingmar Bergmanesque lights sparkled in the spooky, dark woods of Chilmark. A big bowl of baby tomatoes sat on an outdoor table. Inside the anterior barn space at the Yard, the makeshift stage was adorned with microphones, drums and a hand-waving papier-mâché R2-D2. It seemed everyone and everything was welcome at the Satsang Lounge.
