I was born in Framingham, my family lived in Ashland. My roots go back to the mid 1600’s in Ipswich, Salem, and Topsfield on my maternal grandmother’s side and Sturbridge (Southbridge) on my grandfather’s side. My father’s kin were all from South Weymouth. A few years ago we went back to Salem and Boston and had a wonderful time sigthseeing, but I don’t know that I could survive a winter there. As they say, “it’s a nice place to visit, but.....”
I have played gigs in every town you mentioned! LOL!
The History and sightseeing are wonderful there, especially in the autumn.
