Holy cow! Green flash! Then I took the photo.
Sunday, 5:45AM Don’t see that every day. First time for me. I really need a second hand and Siri needs to tell me exactly when the sun rises. 5:46 does not cut it. Shot this between 5:45 AM and 5:46 AM. It has a greenish tint but it was really green about a third of a second before. Kool-Aid Lime green. Stella was not impressed.
Great Eastern heading north about 12 miles east had a good view.

Always a winner. They come out crispy like they were fried by cooking them indirect.
Fire up your charcoal in the charcoal baskets which concentrates the heat and flame in the center of the grill then place the lightly coated in peanut oil and rubbed wings along the perimeter for indirect high heat grilling.

Sharing my husband’s memory of the night his band opened for Prince
Last night talking about Prince with my husband, and knowing what a huge fan of his he was, I asked Tom what is his favorite Prince song. He said there were too many and then shared a heartfelt story about the night his band (The Atlantics) opened for Prince at the Metro. It was for The Dirty Mind album tour and the year was 1981, Saint Patrick’s Day. He and his band mates were over the moon with excitement, but also scared to death. Not because of Prince’s growing star power, but because of the intense racial divisions prevailing in Boston at that time, which often manifested at rock concerts, with musicians getting caught in the crosshairs.
All worries were for nothing. To everyone’s joyful surprise, the audience, a sea of black faces and white faces in equal numbers, were all there to have a fantastic time, which they did. Tom especially recalls a group of young black women in the first row, dressed more for church than a rock concert, smiling and dancing to the Atlantics songs, and if you can believe this, they placed their purses on top of the stage, near his feet. (Can people even bring purses to concerts any longer??) Prince’s messages of love and tolerance are a powerful inspiration. That Saint Patrick’s Day night at the Metro opening for Prince is one of Tom’s favorite band memories.
On Tom’s facebook page is a great photo from that night, taken by the Metro’s house photographer Steven Stone, maybe a little too sexy in case young kids are scrolling through GMG, but you can check it out here at Thomas Hauck.

As much as I was surprised by this sweet glimpse of mama and her ducklings coming around a bend in the marsh, she was as equally surprised to see me, hidden behind a clump of tall grasses. One glance, and mom quickly departed with her nine (!!) newly emerged ducklings. Happy Earth Day!

April is for Lighthouse Enthusiasts
Cape Ann Museum to host
lighthouse-inspired programs
The Cape Ann Museum is pleased to announce its April 2016 lineup of lighthouse-inspired programming. The poetry of Suellen Wedmore and the newest book by Eric Jay Dolin each revolve around the influencing power of the lighthouse, its keepers, and the Fresnel lens on display at the Museum. Join the Museum for these programs, each of which offer a new take on the popular topic of lighthouses.
Saturday, April 23 at 2:00p.m.
Based on her most recent book of poetry, Mind the Light, writer Suellen Wedmore melds photographs, paintings, music and movement to depict the bravery and intelligence of the little-known heroines of our American past—women lighthouse keepers. Assisting Wedmore will be Juliana McGovern, Barbara Brewer, and others. Following the program, Wedmore will be available to sign copies of her book which is for sale in the Museum Shop. This program is free for CAM members / $10 for non-members (includes Museum admission). Space is limited; reservations required.
Saturday, April 30 at 3:00p.m.
Eric Jay Dolin, the best-selling author of Leviathan, will discuss his most recent book, Brilliant Beacons, which traces the evolution of America’s lighthouse system, highlighting the political, military and technological battles fought to illuminate the nation’s coastlines. The talk will include remarks on the Fresnel lens, the inspiration for the term “brilliant beacon” as their use transformed American lighthouses. Following the program, Dolin will be available to sign copies of his book which is for sale in the Museum Shop.
This program is $15 for CAM members / $20 for non-members (includes Museum admission). Space is limited; reservations required.
For more information email us at info@capeannmuseum.org. Tickets can be purchased by calling the Museum at (978) 283-0455 x10 or online at Eventbrite.
GLOUCESTER CINEMA ARTS SERIES CONTINUES WITH HAMLET
With two successful events completed, the Gloucester Cinema, 74 Essex Ave, Gloucester, MA (in collaboration with SPECTICAST Entertainment) continues their Arts Program with the announcement of the exclusive showing of three renowned plays — Hamlet, The Adventures of Pericles and The Taming of the Shrew. All three of these classics were captured in stunning HD live at the Stratford Festival in September 2015.
HAMLET, the first of the Stratford Festival plays will be shown on Sunday, April 24 at 10 a.m. and Thursday, April 28 at 7 p.m. The Stratford Festival, originally dedicated to the works of Williams Shakespeare, has been setting the standard for classical theatre in North America for more than 60 years. These plays are captured using 10 cameras and 128 tracks of sound to create a sensational high-definition, surround-sound experience remaining faithful to the stage version of the production.
HAMLET, Shakespeare’s iconic tragedy has been called the greatest play in the English language and it will hold you spellbound. The film excites and surprises at every turn, with some of the world’s finest classical actors bringing to life the most intense and heart-breaking relationships the stage has ever seen.
For “SAVE THE DATE” purposes the other two plays THE ADVENTURES OF PERICLES will run on Sunday, May 8 at 10 a.m. and Thursday, May 12 at 7 p.m. followed by THE TAMING OF THE SHREW, which will run on Sunday, May 29 at 10 a.m. and Thursday June 2 at 7 p.m.
This is a perfect opportunity for drama students and those who are studying Shakespeare’s works to see them performed on the big screen by some of the finest classical actors. Check out our Gloucester Cinema Face Book site. For additional information or group reservations, please call John Williams, Gloucester Cinema at 781-724-5368.

If you could play on stage with anyone alive, who would it be?
Joey’s poll from yesterday asking “WHICH IS A BIGGER EMOTIONAL HIT FOR YOU, THE LOSS OF DAVID BOWIE OR PRINCE?” struck a powerful chord in me. It feels like the greatest musicians of our era are dropping so fast we can’t even keep track. Case in point: Lonnie Mack (blues/rock guitar pioneer and major influence on Stevie Ray Vaughan) also died yesterday. So what do we do? One response is for Vickie and me book as many of our idols as quickly as possible and rush out to see the ones who are too big for the venues we book. It’s beginning to feel like a race against time.
At the same time, we think it’s important to showcase young artists, who might become the next Prince or Bowie or any of the dozen other greats who have left us over the past year. To that end, we produce several “rising star” shows a year — and our next one is a Rockin’ Blues Benefit next Saturday, April 30 at Beverly’s Larcom Theatre to raise money for Harborlight Community Partners.
In addition to featuring three of the region’s top talent: Delta Generators, Willie J. Laws Band and Danielle Miraglia, this show has some profound significance: 1) It’s the last Delta Generators Show with Craig Rawding fronting the band — and 2) We will auction off a guitar (thanks to Guitar Center) signed by all the artists to raise money for Harborlight Community Partners. This will likely be the last guitar — perhaps the last thing ever — signed by all the current members of the Delta Generators.
If you live in Gloucester, you may have seen Danielle Miraglia here. In 2014, we brought her to Gloucester for the first time to perform with James Montgomery at a benefit for The Open Door, then again at the Cape Ann Solstice with Allen Estes and Charlie Farren. She’s also been at the Rhumb Line.
On Sunday morning at 9AM, Danielle will be Aurelia Nelson’s special guest — and her only guest — on her North Shore 104.9 radio show Curtain Up. You’ll hear Danielle perform some of her songs along with a tribute to her favorite artist, Prince. Now, Danielle isn’t one of those people who waited until yesterday to honor Prince. Here’s a transcript of an interview she gave 10 years ago in Boston Beats:
Question: “If you could play on stage with anyone alive, who would it be?”
Danielle: “Oh, Prince. Even though I would be completely intimidated by him, and probably just faint. And he’s my height, so it would work. All his dancers are really short, because they can’t be taller than him or it would just look funny. I don’t have to play anything, I’ll just roll around on stage. I’ll just hold onto his leg. You can put that in print if you want.”
Check out Danielle at Gloucester’s UU Church fundraiser here (by Cape Ann TV):
