As the train pulled into Amherst , I heaved a sigh of relief. The heat andmonotony had dulled the city beyond recognition--everywhere people trudgedaround in a late summer's daze, squinting into the thick air and scuttling intothe closest air-conditioned building. But now, weekender bag in hand, I wasmaking my escape--an impetuous trip to the Berkshires for a long weekend ofclean air and quiet. Hawthorne's "Tanglewood Tales" and ticketsto a night of Tchaikovsky with the Boston Symphony Orchestra in hand, I set outto find my bed & breakfast, a little old manor house tucked back in thelush trees on a shady side street. I slipped into my dress and sauntered backout into the cooling afternoon, an hour or so before the concert, content towander my way onto the Tanglewood grounds in the lovely pine-scented air.
Once night had fallen and the orchestra played its last note, the crowd risingto its feet to shout "bravo" with a rejuvenated gusto, I found myselfonce again wandering out through the trees, humming the opening bars of"Sleeping Beauty" to myself. Lost in my reverie, I wanderedperhaps a little too far, when I saw a dim-glowing light in a clearing upahead. As I approached I heard laughter and then the faint notes of fiddle music.
It was a group of young musicians gathered around a camp fire--three of themwith their violins out sawing away at an Irish reel, the rest making noviceattempts at contra dancing, much to their own amusement. I watched from ashort distance, their joy and abandon intoxicating, before someone in the linenoticed me. A girl of about 20 came skipping out of the line over in mydirection, and, without a word, grabbed my hand, pulling me into the dance.Abandoning all the city girl in me, I joined them, sashaying and curtsying anddo-si-do-ing until I couldn't stop laughing and had to take a rest...
