Cape Ann Big Band Only Spring Concert – Saturday May 3rd

A Cape Ann Big Band concert is one of those rare treats that comes along only a couple of times a year — and this Saturday, May 3, they’re going over the bridge (for their only spring concert this year) to Beverly’s fully restored, historic Larcom Theatre. Come Swing into Spring with Cape Ann Big Band playing hits from the swing, soul, jazz, and rock’n’roll songbooks as well as show tunes and pop songs.
If you haven’t been down the road to the Larcom Theatre yet, this is your chance. It’s the perfect venue for a big band. Built in 1912 (the same year as Fenway Park) by Vaudeville musicians, this gorgeous theatre has spectacular acoustics. And we just installed a new, top-shelf sound system for perfect sound in every seat! Get yours now.
This very special Cape Ann Big Band concert features guest vocalists, Renee Dupuis, John Rockwell, Carolyn Seavey & Nathan Seavey. Get a taste of what you’ll hear in this video:

Ask Sista Felicia
I look forward to the questions I receive from GMG FOB’s, family and friends each week! Dozens of questions are asked and answered in the aisles of local stores while I shop, and dozens are privately asked and answered through email, text message, Facebook , or Tweeter each day. I especially love when a question inspires a Sista’s Dish Post! One question asked today did just that!
Ellie Bevins Writes~ Making a rhubarb crisp for a gift. Give me your talented ideas for how to wrap an 8 in square pan??? I was going to put it on a mason jar, but I don’t think its big enough to hold a good amount. I’m stuck. Ellie
Sista Felicia’s Wrapping Suggestion~ Wrap baking dish in tea towel or small Table cloth; gather cloth ends in center of dish; fasten with Zip Tie; using matching decorative ribbon, tie fresh flower bouquet to gathered top and fix decorative bow!

Into the lower 70°s away from the coast on a South west wind gusting to 30mph.. At the shore temps could possibly reach the 60’s if we break into the warm sector and front passes us to the north ! Again don’t bet on it … Thursday Night temps drop into the 40’s with early evening shower / thunderstorm .. Winds from the west south west 10-20mph …
