If you’re like my former self you’d wait til Christmas Eve to figure out that you’ve got a buttload of toys for your kids that require batteries and you’d run to CVS or Stop and Shop and get crucified on the price of batteries.  I’ve tried the rechargeable route but inevitably the kids toss them out and you have to have the charger plugged in and you can never find them when you need them.

But no longer.  Because with a little bit of research you see these AC Delco batteries are the best value by a mile.

From a research chart you see that the AC Delcos crushed the competition in value.

Here’s the links to purchase them on Amazon-

Buy 48 AAA on Amazon for just $9.50 

Also 100 AA on amazon for $17.79

Straight fire baby!

To get your Free New GMG Logo Sticker-

As long as supplies last if any GMG folks want a bumper sticker but can’t drop down the dock, just send a self addressed and stamped envelope longer then 7 and a half inches and I’ll drop one in the mail for you.

‘Christmas in the New World,’ performed by the renowned New England ensemble Musicians of the Old Post Road at the Gloucester Meetinghouse December 16, 7:30pm.

December 6, 2016 ~ chasnaz ~

PERFORMERS:  Musicians of the Old Post Road is one of the Boston area’s best-loved chamber ensembles specializing in the period instrument performance of dynamic and diverse music from the Baroque to early Romantic eras. Its repertoire includes compelling “rediscovered” works that have been lost to audiences for centuries.  Their theme this year is Musical Migrations.  ‘Christmas in the New World’ features classical holiday music with a distinctive Latin American flair.

Founded by Artistic Directors Suzanne Stumpf (flute) and Daniel Ryan (cello), the ensemble takes its name from its acclaimed concert series, originally entitled Old Post Road Historic Concerts, begun in 1989. They are joined by Sarah Darling (violin & viola), Marcia Cassidy (viola) and Michael Bahmann, (harpsichord). The venues trace the route of the old Boston Post Road, the first thoroughfare connecting Boston and New York City beginning in the 1670s.

WHAT’S SPECIAL? This is a rare opportunity to celebrate the holiday season with a unique program abounding with festive music exported to 18th-century Central and South America! Selections include lively Spanish villancicos, ornate Italian cantatas, and rhythmically-playful works with indigenous influences. Castellanos, Durán, Jerusalem, Pacheco, and Torres are among the featured composers.
With special guests Jessica Petrus, soprano, and Catherine Hedberg, mezzo-soprano, and special guest Eloy Cruz (Mexico), Baroque guitar
