 Back Bay Farm v
Defendant states merely that neither she nor her agent came to Massachusetts, all of her dealings with Plaintiff occurred while she was in Virginia or Florida, the bill of sale was executed in Virginia, and she accepted payment for the horse in Virginia.
The First Circuit, observing that the Massachusetts long-arm statute should be broadly construed, held that the law school's purposeful actions in mailing application information and an acceptance letter to the plaintiff in Massachusetts were sufficient, without more, to constitute transacting business under section 3(a).
On the one hand, Defendant's modest contacts with Massachusetts appear "isolated" or "minor." On the other hand, it seems reasonable to conclude that, given the facts presented, Defendant, through her agent, not only targeted Plaintiff but also, with or without an agent, purposefully and successfully engaged in other horse sales with Massachusetts residents.

Whispered with the intimate breathiness of Colin Blunstone, memorable lines about difficulties with women and alcohol pop out with easy aplomb: "Cigarette Sandwich" is a devastating self-portrait set to disarmingly pepped-up music; "I've been down before/I'm no stranger to the canvas," whispers Pernice in "Glass Jaw" with no hint of concern.
Seeking to broaden his sonic palette beyond the Scuds' Americana-soaked creations, Joe Pernice left in 1997 to form the Pernice Brothers, adding his guitar-playing brother Bob, New Radiant Storm King guitarist Peyton Pinkerton and bassist/engineer Thom Monahan, drummer Aaron Sperske and pianist Mike Deming, all of whom were associated with the Lilys.
