At the free Chilmark Potluck Jam this weekend, music fans will have a chance to bid on a one of a kind piece of local music memorabilia and to support a good cause at the same time.
This Saturday, the 50th Chilmark Potluck Jam will brighten the windows at the Chilmark Community Center and spread its glow over a Martha’s Vineyard winter, as it has done for more than 10 years now.
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.
