Hey everyone,
The Topside Grill is finally opening for the season this Friday! We hope everyone had a great winter (stupid snow!), and are now ready for Spring and warm weather. We have completely renovated our entire dinning room this year and can’t wait for everyone to see it! We are expecting a great weekend so we are encouraging people to make reservations for best seating during dinner hours 🙂 hope to see you all there!
We are also featuring new photography by Judith Montferrante and the Good Morning Gloucester photographers all around the restaurant! We also have John Jerome playing Friday night in the bar/lounge/pub. Also, launching my brand new Spring cocktail menu which I am very excited about (new drinks, wine, and beer). See you this weekend!!!
Thanks,
Doug Silva

The Everly Sisters
An acoustic female duet, one a fingerstyle guitarist the other a Patsy Cline enthusiast, both harmonizing to the songs of the lengendary vocalists of the 60’s era, especially a well studied repertoire of Phil & Don Everly hits. Their acoustic style is intriguing and relaxing, bringing a refreshing new sound to many classic hits from the 60’s to the 80’s. Both blues singers at heart, they expand their repetoire to also include folk, soft rock, oldies the Beatles and especially the Everly Borthers

Thursday night blues party to host Evan Goodrow
THIS WEEK I’m pleased to present the return of Mr. Evan Goodreau. Movie star, jongleur, and all-weather breakfast. He sings, he plays, he winks, he drinks. Always gives me a hard time.
Pushing from behind will be that card-carrying time bomb, the redoubtable Forrest “Tucker” Padgett on skins and bones. And,as usual, my foodtaster Greg T. on catarrh and myself on base will be rounding off this agglutination to the nearest neuron. It’ll be quite entertaining.

Help Joey Choose A Poem To Read At The Library’s Gloucester Reads Poetry Event
I need to find a suitable poem to read as part of Gloucester Reads Poetry: a program of the Gloucester Lyceum, which is the program arm of the Sawyer Free Library.
It’s going to be held April 28, 7 p.m. Sawyer Free Library but I need to get my submission in by April 4th.
So in the spirit of the GMG community I think I’ll open it up to you guys, my peeps to submit poetry suggestions and the one I like best, I’ll read at the event.
The explanation and the reading of the poem should take a maximum of 4 minutes.

Thoreau speech at Library
From the Beacon
On the 20th of December in 1848 several hundred citizens of Gloucester packed into the Town Hall to hear what was billed as an “original and highly entertaining lecture.” The lecturer was Henry David Thoreau, the gentleman from Concord. These men and women of Gloucester, who paid the not insignificant sum of one-dollar admission for a yearlong series of lectures, were perhaps somewhat starved for cultural offerings and evening entertainment. After all, they were without television, radio, movies, sports bars and none of their children were in the Little League!
On Thursday, March 31 at 7 p.m., that evening in Gloucester history and the Thoreau lecture will be recreated by Jay DiPrima, who brings history to life through his dramatization of people and events. The program is being sponsored by the Gloucester Lyceum and Sawyer Free Library, the current day version of the original sponsor. The Lyceum, which is the program arm of the Library, carries on the mission of cultural enrichment, education and entertainment.

Chickity Check It!- Never said about restaurant websites blog
Beth Swan alerted the GMG to this beauty of a blog a couple of days ago. Check It Out, and this BTW should be mandatory reading for all restaurateur and website developers.
The irony of it all is that I bet some of the people it is intended for may still not even get it after they read it much like how they can’t comprehend the value in tweeting a 140 character daily special “because it takes too much time”

Paint Factory Report From Iain Kerr
HI Joey,
I hope you are well, ready to warm up a bit.
I remain concerned that people think that nothing is happening at the Paint Manufactory.
From the attached materials, you can see that that is far from the truth:
Many people are not aware that considerable work has gone on at the Tarr and Wonson Paint manufactory over the winter season. Most of this work has been environmental mitigation (site clean up). We have removed, two concrete block buildings at the entrance to the site that each had 20,000 gallon oil and solvent tanks in them. We have removed asbestos siding from the side of one building and the interior of another, 8 solvent and mixing tanks have been removed from the brick buildings along with the SUV sized oil fired furnace. The most exciting and challenging work has been the removal of lead paint from the exterior of the brick buildings. Scaffolding had to be erected around the buildings and then closed in with tarpaulins that were kept at negative pressure so that no lead paint dust could escape. The attached time lapse video shows the tarpaulins coming down. As you can see from the attached document, the ice blasting has exceeded our expectations, the brickwork looks almost polished.
Cheers, Iain

Pebbles of Pebble Beach
Cape Ann is filled with so many beaches, and all are unique. I love the sound of waves gently crashing and retreating from the pebbles. It sounds even better underwater, for that reason alone its a favorite dive spot.

The Mail Must Go Through, Part 3
I just finished having a long, really lovely conversation with Sylvia DeBoever, niece of Sarah Lawrence (known as Aunt Settie), of FDR memorial stamp letter fame. Sarah lived at 121 Leonard Street, not 123, which was her husband’s house, Leonard Lawrence, also known as Richard L. Sears who died in the 1970’s. Sarah then moved from Leonard Street to Heart Street in Gloucester to take care of her aging mother. Sylvia said she spent a lot of her time at the Senior Center, bringing arts and crafts for the seniors to do, and was much loved by everyone who knew her. She died at the age of 98 on August 22, 2001. She was an avid stamp collector, as was FDR, who was considered the greatest stamp collector that ever lived. Sylvia’s husband Tom, also an avid collector, owns some of FDR’s personal stamp collection. Sylvia grew up in Gloucester, but moved away to Michigan 51 years ago, after she and Tom married. She loved to visit Aunt Setti in Annisquam, then walk to the lighthouse to rendezvous with her then boyfriend, Tom who was in the coast guard. She would then walk home to Heart Street. Aunt Setti instilled in her a love of stamp collecting, which Tom also shared. After talking with her, I am so thrilled that she will be reconnected with something that was her aunt’s and meant so much to her.
Sylvia found out about the stamps by reading the Gloucester Times, which she does every day on line, to stay connected with her beloved Gloucester. I have sent her the link to Good Morning Gloucester, so she can subscribe, and now stay connected in the GMG family way.
