Weekly “Sing” at the Annie
Every week on Wednesday night, 7-9:30PM at “The Annie“, there is a singing session, open to anyone who wants to come. We sit in a circle in the art parlor and take turns singing and/or playing (on acoustic instruments) whatever strikes our fancy, and if others know the refrain, they join in! It’s loads of fun, and a very friendly atmosphere in which all levels of talent and experience are welcome.
Here’s another video from our session last week. It shows Ernie Pigeon singing “For the Life of Me”.

Gloucester At Dawn- 4:54AM 4/30/12 Salvation Star, Providenza and Francesca & Carlo- Railway To Railway
This shot was taken alongside the Railway at The Gloucester Maritime Heritage Center looking out across the harbor to the East Gloucester Marine Railway.
The amount of light in this shot is deceiving because the shutter was left open for a good long time to try to collect as much light as possible to burn in the colors. Obviously this type of shot with such little available light is not possible without the aid of a tripod.
Click the photo to see it larger and the details on the Adventure and boats tied up at The East Gloucester Marine Railway all the way across the harbor. I like this shot a lot especially considering the very little light available to use.
Below is what it looked like to the human eye without the long exposure-

Gloucester Webcam of The Day- Blue Shutters Beachside Inn Good Harbor Beach Webcam
VISIT THE BLUE SHUTTERS BEACHSIDE INN WEBSITE
This Webcam and more can be found at www.gloucesterwebcam.com
This www.gloucesterwebcam.com local webcam portal project was an idea I had last year to have as many webcams streaming from local businesses or organizations as possible which highlight the incredible vistas that we as people that live and work here get to enjoy each and every day.
The idea was to have the organization install the webcam, have them embed the webcam feed on their own websites as well and have a link to each business website on the Gloucester webcam portal website to showcase their business as well.
Tim Blakeley from Gloucester Bytes provided the initial installation at ridiculously cheap cost because he believed in the project.

Being Stalked by Bunnies
This is day 16 of not smoking. I have consumed about 8 lbs. of carrots since quitting. I am now being stalked by bunnies. They are everywhere I look, and stare at me with hungry eyes. Help!

Sneak Peek Inside the Harpsichord
You’ve heard Frances Fitch play her new harpsichord (see here or here if you missed either of those videos). In this video, her husband and gimmesound co-artist of the week, Greg Bover, takes us under the hood (literally — he takes off the jackrail to reveal plectra and then shows us how they pluck the strings).
You won’t see the plectra Next Tuesday, May 15, but you should go to Shalin Liu at 7:30pm anyhow to hear his masterpiece played in one of the most perfect acoustic settings on Earth — and it’s right down the street — and it’s FREE.
Inge Berge is back at Giuseppe’s tonight for his 2nd of 5 Thursdays. If you go, request his gorgeous new song and ask him if it’s the sequel to this song.
Let’s not take Gloucester’s tremendous talent base for granted. Get out and support them. It’s fun! See the full music lineup here.

Just Say No To Mom Jeans
While checking out my twitter feed I came across this little gem from the official Liberty Tree Mall twitter account @ShopLibertyTree
“@ShopLibertyTree: RT your thoughts on high waisted jean shorts – LOVE it or LEAVE it?”
Let me in no uncertain terms explain to our lovely lady FOBs-
Just Say No To Mom Jeans in any form- shorts or full length.
Don’t be a victim of this horrible fashion crime!
If you’re on twitter let @ShopLibertyTree know. This is irresponsible tweeting.
Next thing they will be telling women it’s cool to double up on the denim, there’s not much worse that the denim top and bottom ensemble except for maybe the denim top AND mom jean bottoms.
What is this world coming to????
The horror!

Dave Sag’s Blues Party at The Rhumb Line and then some!
This is a really big week , and I know you’re all quivering with anticipation, so let’s get down on it!
This Thursday at the Rhumb Line, Dave Sag’s Blooz Bash® features the inimitable “Geezerz©”. Long a mystery in these parts, these four hoarsemen are gathering under the head of steam created by the bloated full moon of last week, and expanding to enfold you in their lovin’ arms. For those of you who have been busy rearranging the furniture in your closets, said Geegerz consists of Dave Brown, systolic sliiideman and all-around guitarrh guru, David Mattacks, the atomic clock, on skins, Greg Tower, catarrh man,on haberdashery, and myself, Dave Sag, on base. Haven’t seen these guys in a while and I’m really looking forward to this, cuz my eyes are in the front of my head.
And Sunday, I’ll be up at Glenn’s, once again, with the Justin Quinn Band, but don’t worry, you who live in fear won’t be there…gotta cross the bridge…yada yada yada. Too bad: it’s a great club and the food is awesome! It’s 6 to 9. You can get 10 to life if you’re not careful.
And Monday, for those of you who have chosen a disabled , retired or unemployed lifestyle, why not come down to the Rose Baker Senior
Center before your nap for a rousing jazz encounter with the Good Old Salty Jazz Band? Honestly, these guys have more energy than most of you think. It’s a local, nay! national treasure and bears scrutiny. All you fancy dancers got nothing on the gliding grandparents on the dance floor. We’re there 1 to 3 p.m. Bring smelling salts? depends….
Good Morning Gloucester
