Sheila Jones ~ Photos of music and Gloucester events.

Posted on by Joanne
Just got this email from Sheila Jones a lovely female vocalist and woman, of course. She and her husband Ron sing around town at different venues. (Sheila also sings with The Honky Tonk Women).  They are a real treat to hear together or alone. They (Sheila and Ron, also known as the Sheila and Ron Road Show then Sheila and  Elaine  also know as the Everly Sisters ) just finished a 6 month gig at the Alchemy with Dan King on his Thursday “acoustic” night. Let’s see what the New Year will bring.
Hi Joanne,
I have some photos that might be of interest to “anyone” on the staff.
I posted them on Flickr and want to get them out to everyone in the community.
because I don’t know WHO a lot of these folks are, but I know they would appreciate
seeing themselves and I figure Good Morning Gloucester would be the best bet for them
to view them.  Let me know what you think.
Best,
Sheila

Anna Hyatt Huntington

Posted on by God's Morning

Did you know that this was the studio of renowned sculptor, Anna Hyatt Huntington, who created the World War I Memorial in Legion Square featuring the impressive sculpture of Joan of Arc on horseback? The horse was modeled after a magnificent Percheron that was part of the team at the East Gloucester fire station. Huntington’s niece posed astride a barrel, as she modeled the figure of Joan, first nude, then in costume. Anna Hyatt Huntington (1876-1973) became one of the best-known and most prolific sculptors of the 20th century. The studio is the first house on the left after you cross the causeway on Washington Street heading toward Annisquam Village.
