Artist, Marilyn Swift http://www.marilynswift.com/ and NSAA Gallery Director, Suzanne Gilbert http://www.nsarts.org/ represent at Khan Studio and the Good Morning Gloucester Gallery on Saturday. There were so many people on Rocky Neck yesterday that I am surprised it didn’t take on water. It was so hectic in the gallery that I missed many photo ops and chances to have people represent. It was great to meet so many fans of Good Morning Gloucester and I wanted to thank you all for coming by. Don’t be strangers.

That the grand opening of Khan Studio and the Good Morning Gloucester Gallery will be held on Thursday, June 2 from 5:00 to 9:00 pm during Night on the Neck, with a performance by spoken word beat poet, Joda Khan (think bohemian, Kerouac, Ginsberg, Maya Angelou – not your grandmother’s poetry). Some of your favorite GMG personalities are bound to be in the house (maybe even R. Duck accompanied by Paul Morrison). Come on by, have fun, represent, get your photo up on GMG, and then at 9:00, swing over to Madfish Grill and kick up some sand with Soul Rebel Project (wharf girls, EJ and Alma McLaughlin will be leading the dance party – maybe Brenda Malloy and Wendie Demuth will join in). Who knows, maybe we can even get Art Rocks! Paul Frontiero onto the dance floor.

Too anyone who took the time to try to find an “Art, Rock!” please forgive me! it was all Joey’s idea! 🙂 I actually felt bad for the others who were looking for it. I Honestly don’t understand the intense interest in this “Art, rocks!” Thing. Others do. But I enjoy doing them. Thanks goes out to my “Art Sensei” Deb Clarke for helping my simple mind think outside the box! She’s an awesome Women and ARTIST! David “Doc” Vincent should feel lucky to have Such a woman! as his partner. Also my “GIRL” Cathy who’s my biggest supporter and supports my “craziness” that this blog has brought me into. she has help so many families endure their parents challenges in their time of need at Seacoast Nursing home. You should feel very Lucky to have a woman like my wife Catherine looking after your Parents, Grandparents and Family. Their aren’t too many around like her! She’ll probably be mad at me for saying that here. But her and people like her never get the recognition they deserve publicly! I thank them now, because you never know what will happen in your life. I could get hit by an ice cream truck tomorrow. Which wouldn’t be too bad of a thing as long as I had an ice cold creamsicle before it happens. 🙂

This cute couple from Newburyport stopped by the dock for a Sticka! The girl was wearing a pair of those very trendy rubber boots that are all the rage with the women folk nowadays. I found it a bit odd footwear choice given it being 8o degrees and sunny yesterday but hey, you gotta love the funkiness!
They were out and about shopping for a wedding ring, Congratulations!!!!
