Josulli is correct, you mean Stockbridge. I also believe you are thinking of Arlo Guthrie and not James Taylor. Guthrie sang about Alice's Restaurant and getting arrested in Stockbridge. The song was recorded in the late 60's and is a classic which is played by rock radio stations every Thanksgiving.
Actually, James Taylor makes reference to Stockbridge in his song Sweet Baby James. "The first of December was covered with snow....and so was the turnpike from Stockbridge to Boston. "
I remember listening to Alice's Restaurant every Thanksgiving with my folks. New England is great for places like that with off the beaten path stories and fun little places. It is so rich with culture and history that one can never really get enough of it and will always return for more.
I think that quite a few of those hippies later bore many a hippie child or hipster in denial child themselves and luckily for many of us they passed on all the great stories, music and books they loved so very much. Thank you for posting this! I just had the best little warm memory Okay back to your regularly scheduled programming. Grace P.s. One of my favorites growing up which came out before I was born was "Pleas come to Boston for the springtime" Dave Lggins
Grace.. before you were born.. OK.. but that was serious get down to it music for me.. back in the day. Arlo spends winters in Florida now.. to put it in perspective (he's a FB friend).. Ispendasmuch time as possible out there exactly because of the vibe.. and the culture.. love it there.. far out..
