...last job Bunk ever played until we made those records," George paused and gazed at the ceiling for a minute or so. The years were peeling back in his memory as he went back to a scene that took place more than 30 years ago. It was as vivid to him then as the night it happened. "It was during the depression. Let me see, it was nineteen and thirty . . . two. I was workin' with Evan Thomas in Crowley, Louisiana. We was all sittin' out in the sun by the railroad tracks one day, and Bunk was ridin' a flatcar...

This was The Gully farm, purchased by Frost as a Christmas present to himself in 1928. A barn close to the house had been converted into a studio for Noland...
...those executed were clearly innocent, convicted on nothing more than "spectral evidence"-testimony that apparitions resembling the accused had tormented people-and the hysterical behavior of the teen-age girls who were the chief witnesses. Hansen notes that hysteria, as defined medically, can produce fits of supernormal violence, a vivid appearance that the sufferer is being choked, and psychosomatically induced "bite" and "pinch" marks on the skin. These were the main symptoms of the afflicted girls...
