commas or no commas

Can ANYONE here tell me if commas go between (people and and) and between (surrounding and were) in the following sentence, or not. And can you please give the reason for your answer. Thanks.

"Ever since he first appeared with his black veil on that bright, sunny Sabbath morning to preach as was his usual, the village people and those who lived in the surroundings were both terrified and mystified."

In my opinion no and no. The reason is that it's just my opinion. As Jason correctly said, (that comma was optional too) it's just a stylistic choice. A helpful thing is to read your sentence out loud, actually speak it and listen to yourself. Did you naturally put a little pause in any place? Maybe the words felt jumbled, or you needed to take a breath? If so then that place in your sentence needs a comma.

By the way shouldn't there be some other word after 'usual'?
