cape ann olive oil cooking event from fred bodin

fred writes-

Just returned from the cooking demonstration at Cape Ann Olive Oil Company. Two chefs from What’s Cooking, Brian Rice and Christian Collins, made two appetizers, two entree’s, and used tasty CAOO olive oils and balsamic vinegars as ingredients. Loved it. If they do this again – anywhere – you gotta go!

Do You Know? (For the Birders Out There)

A flock of my favorite early spring arrivals descended on Annisquam today with their wonderful call.  I didn’t see them, hence no photo, but the call they make is distinctly them and goes:  conk-a-reeee, conk-a-reeee!  Who can identify these birds?  You see them along marshes, clinging to cattails and reeds.

Thank you to the sweet couple who helped me with my stroller at the library. I could have taken the elevator but was in a big rush. The young man first asked and then took the front of the stroller, while his girlfriend held the door. Really made my day–again, thank you!!

Loch Lomond sung for Joe Garland

In this video, gimmesound artist of the week Michael O’Leary sings one of Joe Garland’s favorite songs with Janice Fullman .  This was part of the special tribute to Joe Garland produced by Local Music Seen with Allen Estes that showed on the large screen at the October 1, 2011 ceremony celebrating Joe’s life at I4-C2.  A longer version of this tribute special is in the works and will air on Cape Ann TV once it’s finished.

Michael O’Leary is also featured in today’s Gloucester Daily Times story (see here).

Don’t wait for St. Patrick, get out and dance tonight.  There’s Reggae DJ, Blues, Jazz/hip hop and more.  See complete music lineup here.
