That the Celtic session at Alchemy is an open jam session of Celtic musicians? I assumed they were a group, but during Saturday brunch at Alchemy, the musicians performing such lively and beautiful music are jamming. Emerald Rae and Bob Jennings often perform together, along with Sean Connor who was missing today, and was replaced by Flynn Cohen, who normally plays the bluegrass session during Sunday brunch. They are great musicians, just look at the blur of Emerald and Bob’s hands as they play the guitar and violin. I got to sign some books and meet some new people, including Phil and Lynne who love reading Good Morning Gloucester and going to Alchemy. Phil it turns out is also a parking angel (bet you never knew there was a parking angel). He walks down the street with a pocket full of quarters and pops them into meters that are expired to save people from getting tickets. So there are probably a bunch of GMG readers out there who do not have a ticket to pay thanks to Phil. Just another example of how great Cape Ann people are.
