Darryl Hunt spent 19 years and six months of his life in prison for a crime he did not commit. But he is not angry, never was.

“I was never angry because I knew I was innocent,” Mr. Hunt said Wednesday during a conversation with the Gazette. He was visiting the Island for the first time to speak at a screening of The Trials of Darryl Hunt, the HBO documentary which follows his case. “I was hurt and I was disappointed and I was scared, but no,” Mr. Hunt continued, “I was never angry.”

Verdi on Middle Road? You wouldn’t think anything almost subversively original in the arts could possibly be percolating up this country road.

It’s time for old-time fiddle music tonight, when The Flying Elbows Fiddle Band performs at 8 p.m. at the Katharine Cornell Theatre.

Lanny McDowell is having an opening this week that can take place in anyone’s home or office. He has opened a gallery on the Internet showing his fine art avian photographs. Anyone can go there by pressing a few buttons on the computer.

Most Vineyard artists have openings at galleries. They schedule a day in the height of summer to roll out their work, send out a box full of invitations and wait for the crowds to come. A reception usually includes wine and cheese and then after a week or so, the work comes down.
