Joey:  A few photos of Nemo from Eastern Point.  Best, Pat Morss

 

Hi Joey,

Welcome back from the Sunny Warmth!

With all that fury that Storm Nemo brought over the weekend, Mother Nature smiled a beautiful sunrise this Monday morning at Back Beach in Rockport. The beauty was fleeting as the overcast quickly diminished the spectacle.

Thanks, Skip

Hi Joey:
Blue Shutters is hosting a weekend of Psychic and Mediumship Readings on March 8 and 9th. I was directed to your blog in hopes that I could get some PR around this event. It is my understanding that if anything is a "happening" in Gloucester it is "happening" with the help of your blog. :)  What do I need to do to enable this information to be disseminated through Good Morning Gloucester? I have pasted below the Facebook event information from my Facebook page and Blue Shutters will be posting it on their page as well. Thanks for your help!

Coffin’s Beach Nemo Destruction From Jim Salem

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Hi Joey,

Just wanted to say how much my family and I enjoys Good Morning Gloucester.

You probably have plenty of great photos and video of Nemo but here is a video of the wind-driven waves eroding the shoreline on Coffin’s Beach:

All the best,

Brooks Williams with Danielle Miraglia at Old Sloop Coffeehouse

Brooks Williams at Old Sloop Coffeehouse February 15 with Danielle Miraglia

Old Sloop Coffeehouse will present a performance by Brooks Williams  on Friday, February 15, at 7:30 PM at the handicap-accessible First Congregational Church of Rockport, 12 School St, with Danielle Miraglia opening.  Ranked one of the Top 100 Acoustic Guitarists, singer-songwriter Brooks Williams writes groove-laden songs and delivers them with an easy-going vocal style and monstrous guitar chops.  Walking the line between blues and Americana, Williams has worked stages worldwide for over 25 years, amassing a staggering back-catalogue of songs, recordings and tales.  With nearly 20 CDs to his name – and more on the way – this Statesboro Georgia native is, according to americanaUK, “impossible not to like.”  Danielle Miraglia comes armed with a strong steady thumb on an old Gibson, an infectious stomp-box rhythm and harmonica.  Her tunes range from heart-felt to socially conscious and will move both your heart and hips.  Danielle’s latest release “Box of Troubles” a bare-bones expression of all these attributes, explores the highs and lows that life has to offer and has already received rave reviews.

Tickets can be purchased in advance for $10 from the coffeehouse web site at oldsloopcoffeehouse.org, at Gloucester Music, and at Toad Hall Bookstore in Rockport.  The suggested donation at the door is $12 for adults, $7 for those 65 and older, $5 for those younger than 18, and $24 for a family.

Gloucester’s First Wind Turbine Photo Licensed for a Textbook

Posted on by Kimsmithdesigns

Gloucester First Wind Turbine ©Kim Smith 2012

I thought everyone would like to know that a photo of mine, Gloucester’s First Wind Turbine, has been licensed for a million-run children’s textbook on wind farming. I think its pretty exciting that our turbine and Gloucester Harbor will be featured not only in one million textbooks, but in the electronic version of the book as well. Upon publication, the publisher is sending a copy of the book and I plan to donate it to the Sawyer Free Library. This photo was shot at daybreak last October while filming the barge transporting the wind turbine through Gloucester Harbor.

Thanks to a google search, I found this very handy Stock Photo License Pricing for Editorial Use chart and it really helped to negotiate a fair price: Photographers Index

Valentine’s Day for Procrastinators

Posted on by Vickie & Peter

Don’t worry, Valentine’s Day isn’t until Thursday, so you’ve got a full day and a half to keep on procrastinating.  That’s what I do.  If you remember, in this post I admitted that I spent Men’s Night looking at art, talking with friends and shopping for myself at the Cave while Vickie and John finished their Christmas shopping.

SweetsTable450One reason I love the Cave is their idea of a Valentine’s Day Special is to offer it ON VALENTINE’S DAY.  What a concept!  No Preparation necessary, other than knowing about it, which is precisely why you read GMG, right?

So, on Thursday Glosta Joe’s and Roseanne’s Biscotti (another local business) will be at The Cave with free coffee & biscotti from 2-4pm.  Buy a bag of coffee & win a chance at a beautiful gift basket full of coffee, chocolate, biscotti, mugs & more goodies from the table in the picture (plus cheese, of course).

That leaves you plenty of time to get ready for a night of live music at your choice of six venues in Gloucester (see the complete live music schedule here).

From the web:  INGE BERGE, a Norway native, came to Boston in 1989 and
went to Berklee.  A young man full of half-baked dreams of becoming a famous
Hollywood composer, he undertook a course of study in the art of FILM SCORING.
Nothing ever really came of that.  Instead, he settled in Gloucester, MA, where he
got a gig as Resident Music Director at the Gloucester Stage Co.  While there, he
wrote, arranged and performed for various & sundry productions including
original Israel Horovitz plays, and a number of successful musical tribute shows
(notably PAUL SIMON, CAROLE KING, GEORGE GERSHWIN.)
The story continues.  Please visit: http://www.ingebergeworld.com/
Dinner with Fly Amero: 8 – 11pm
*Each week features a special, invited musical guest
Dave Trooper’s Kitchen…
Surf & Turf Dinner –  $11.95 (while they last)

It’s not just another Tuesday in the dead of winter ~ It’s MARDI GRAS ~

Posted on by Vickie & Peter

Today is MARDI GRAS.  Check out what’s going on in New Orleans here.

Until four years ago, Mardi Gras in Gloucester was, for most of us, little more than another Tuesday in the dead of Winter.  But when local YMCAs began taking teens to New Orleans on a service learning trip during April vacation to help rebuild the City, the YMCA MARDI GRAS BENEFIT was born.  Last year they sold out Minglewood Tavern for a Mardi Gras concert featuring local New Orleans transplant, Henri Smith with Grammy-winning saxophonist Charles Neville (of the Neville Brothers).

This year, Latitude 43 and Minglewood Tavern are donating 10% of all food and beverage revenue from the entire day and night (starting at 11:30am RIGHT NOW!) to the YMCA trip.  And The Runaround Sound has generously donated their performance at Minglewood Tavern tonight so we can have a Mardi Gras party in snowbound Gloucester!  Here’s The Runaround Sound at the Middle East:

If you’re wondering what happened to the Henri Smith/Charles Neville concert — don’t worry, it’s been rescheduled for April 6 at the Larcom Theatre in Beverly (get tickets here).
