Raise a Glass to Rum Row [PHIL-OSOPHY]
Rum-running was common around New Bedford, in the waters off Martha s Vineyard, Nomansland, Cutty Hunk, Menemsha and Nantucket during Prohibition. The SouthCoast was very much a hotbed for illegal liquor that was transported off ships anchored in international waters. The line of vessels spread out along the coast became known as Rum Row.
The plan was easy as a breeze. Late at night, rumrunners would carry hundreds of cases of bootleg whiskey from the liquor ships and then sped them across the water to places like Nomansland for hiding and New Bedford for distribution. Everyone was equipped with short-wave radios, keeping an eye out for the U.S. Coast Guard. It was also common knowledge that the gangsters running the operation paid off a lot of officials, including the police and politicians. When the speed boats returned to New Bedford harbor, trucks were loaded and hooch was transported to Rhode Island and New York speakeasies.

The winter solstice occurs tomorrow, 21 December. Stonehenge, one of this island’s most significant structures, is constructed in alignment with the setting sun on that day. After the solstice, the days lengthen and a new cycle of the year begins.

It’s been a half-century since one of our most enigmatic musicians and certainly our most shape-shifting Nobel literature prizewinner, Bob Dylan, turned to the South to re-invent himself artistically in Nashville. The result of those February 1969 recordings with Johnny Cash and Cash’s trusted backup band Bob Wootton and Marshall Grant, alongside Charlie Daniels, Norman Blake, Kenny Buttrey, Charlie McCoy and Pete Drake was the deceptively mellifluous, genre-smashing album
Nashville Skyline. The recording has since stood tall as a plinth upon which Dylan, now seventy-nine, was able to build his subsequent, and several, artistic lives. Like a sepia-toned Matthew Brady platinum print of the Civil War, the album serves today as an intensely detailed picture of its time, in its case revealing an intimate portrait of the artistic prowess of Cash, Dylan, and the deep bench of musical talent in Nashville of that day.
