Today you’ve got a rare chance to catch the essence of a hit song from the singer/songwriter in his studio — and then hear the final, produced version, which was featured on ABC TV’s hit comedy Happy Endings last week.
For those of you familiar with The Hive or Crossfit Cape Ann, this style may look familiar 🙂 Created for Art Haven by Karen Conant, one of the wonderful super-involved folks of the Cape Ann community! Again, the rules:
-If you like a buoy you see, bidding starts at $20, and you can just bid in the comments section below the post, HOWEVER
-Your bid doesn’t become official until you send Art Haven an email (arthaveninfo@gmail.com) saying you’re serious and letting us know how to get in contact with you.
-Finally, if you’re the highest bidder on the blog, that makes your bid the starting bid at the auction. We’ll be in touch about your max bid if you can’t make it to the auction.
If you’ve got any questions, leave ’em in the comments section. Also, check out the artist buoys on Art Haven’s Facebook page and tell us if there are particular buoys you’d like to see go up here. And remember, your money is helping more kids on Cape Ann have access to crazy fun art activities 🙂
Finally, for your enjoyment, the organizing process…

Saturdays light snow fall melted slowly through yesterday leaving an icy mirror on the surface of the steel derrick quarry this morning. The gray skies preserved a striking reflection of the trees and granite blocks.
PROVIDENCE, R.I. — A statutory need to address a reported widespread decline in the status of the Gulf of Maine cod was translated Wednesday into terms of a potential economic catastrophe for the New England groundfishing industry — with projections of dealing a $70 million hit to Gloucester’s economy alone.

Richard Gaines reports some really heavy stuff today in the Gloucester Daily Times but other than people directly involved in the fishing industry locally and a few other folks that seem to weigh in on it outside of the industry I wonder if the general public has tuned it all out because it is so difficult to understand and or they gave up trying because it’s impossible to keep up with all the changes.
In either case there are some MAJOR MAJOR changes to the life and independent spirit of what so many people have clung to here for so long but it seems like people are resigned to feel like it’s all a done deal.
Like the people that think that the Government is ever going to allow the amount of fish that was once landed in this city to ever be harvested again, that’s just crazy. They would be nuts to because it would get us right back to the state of overfishing that got us into this mess in the first place. But now with Catch shares and the privatization of the industry and without provisions to make sure that fishing permits stay in the hands of independent fishermen I never thought I’d see the day but within our lifetime there likely will be very few independently owned fishing boats.
When you listen to the bananaheads at the meetings continue to cling on to the hope that this town is going to somehow revert back into the golden days of schooners or when our Grandfathers and Father’s age when millions and millions of pounds of fish were being landed here on a daily basis tell them to wake up.
It’s not “Times, They are A Changin’”
They’ve Changed.

Hi Joey! A friend and I are looking for a basic photography class and we’re having some luck with community colleges and some other places out of town offering some options. That said, with all the knowledge and experience in this field in Gloucester I was wondering if there was someone in town who taught. I knew if there was something like this, you’d know about it.! Thanks for any direction you can offer and thanks so much for the blog!!
Each year it is estimated that 1 million people suffer from Shingles. The risk of developing shingles increases with age and is particularly a risk for individuals who have underlying health conditions.
The Gloucester Health Department has a small amount of shingles vaccine and is offering it FREE to Gloucester residents over 60 years of age.
Interested residents should call the Public Health Nurse, Chassea Robinson, RN at (978) 282-8023.
The NSJP started a couple years ago to help revitalize jazz on the North Shore. Our efforts have helped to fuel a new jazz revival on the North Shore. Last spring we put on a concert and workshop sponsored by Varian, Gorton’s and the NSJP at Gloucester High School. The auditorium was packed. Check out the show here.
Here’s our upcoming fundraising event. I hope your reader come out. It will be an exciting time.
all best, Henry
Hi Joey. Took some shots of the Gloucester Chantey Singing Group Jan. 18th at the Essex Shipbuilding Museum. They were being videotaped as part of a possible TV documentary about Gloucester. –Len Burgess

Hi! My name is Tiny, I am a four-month-old girl pup who is a retriever mix. I don’t know why my name is Tiny, as I am going to be rather big when I am fully grown.
I am here at the Cape Ann Animal Aid with my brothers.
I am so happy to report that I am doing extremely well walking on a leash, but I need a little more practice.
If you are looking for a pup and have the patience to let me learn, I will be a great dog. I am at the Cape Ann Animal Aid, located at 260 Main Street in Gloucester.
When you arrive you will know which one I am, I am Tiny and my tail will be wagging non-stop!

Today’s Scientific American has a story here explaining why we have not had a winter yet. Something about the NAO or North Atlantic Oscillation keeping the jet stream straight and high to the north of us. Could it stay up there? They can’t seem to predict that. What? Can’t predict the weather? I wouldn’t mind if spring arrived sometime early February. I bet you could go out and clip some forsythia to force right now. Go ahead. Meanwhile …
This was shot February 27th of last year. Click the photo for a shot of Motif #1 the same day. So we need to sneak past February before we can start thinking that we have skipped an entire winter.
