A Walk on the Breakwater at end of day

Posted on by Manuel F. Simoes

I always enjoy a walkout  on the breakwater, meeting people,and watching the Schooners Ardelle and the Lannon sailing in the harbor.

Gloucester is Great.

Volunteers Needed for Transcription Project: In 1895 a man named Dolliver traveled around Gloucester, MA and wrote in cursive the words carved on the tombstones. The Gloucester Cemeteries Committee is working on a transcription project that will digitize Dolliver’s work, but we need volunteers to help decipher these handwritten historical documents, which will eventually be accessible on line. If you are curious, like unlocking local history and enjoy a challenge, help us! Visit https://sites.google.com/view/volunteer-local-history/home for more information.

CAPE ANN ARTS ALIVE – MUSIC AND MORE CAMP at St. John’s, Gloucester

Posted on by Kimsmithdesigns

Thank you Kathleen Adams for sharing this wonderful photo story about the children’s art camp “Cape Ann Arts Alive!”

Daisy Nell leads campers in “Heartbeat from the Sea.” Campers learn a dance, more songs, and take off for City Hall where they meet Her Honor, Sefatia Romeo-Theken and the visiting Mayor of Gloucester, England!
Maggie Rosa leads them up to the bell tower for a panoramic view of the city, and art historian Susan Erony gives them the background of the famous WPA murals.  Back to St. John’s for more music:  singing and chiming. What will tomorrow bring?

The public is invited to a review of the camp’s activities at Rockport’s Shalin Liu Performance Center Friday, August 24 at 11:15

THIRD IN ONLY ONE WEEK: JUVENILE RED-TAILED HAWK TREATED FOR RAT POISON

Posted on by Kimsmithdesigns

Our local wildlife rehabbers Erin Hutchings and Jodi Swenson (CAPE ANN WILDLIFE) are on the front lines of trying to save our raptors from rodenticide poisoning. They have treated three juvenile Red-tailed hawks just this past week alone. Two perished and a third is barely hanging on. Tufts does necropsies on all dead raptors-98 percent have rat poison in their system. There are much safer and less cruel alternatives to second-generation rat poison Please see previous post about safer alternatives to the new second-generation deadly poisonous rodenticides.

Wednesdays at the Rhumb Line ~Allen Estes hosts with special guest: ARDYS FLAVELLE! 7-10pm 8.22.2018

Posted on by Joanne

Dinner Specials Each Week!
Wednesday, August 22 – 7pm
Allen’s Musical Guest: ARDYS FLAVELLE!

It literally KILLS me that I’m unable to be here this week (touring
has taken me to Arizona and Colorado), but Allen Estes is the
perfect choice as substitute host. Please allow me to fill you in…
this week’s guest, Ardys Flavelle, is one of my dearest friends.
She and I (and Allen) have worked together in the studio on so
very many great projects – including the “Souls of the Sea” series
(songs from which will be featured in Wednesday’s show) and
“Christmas In Gloucester”. Hers is among the finest female voices
I’ve ever heard in all my years in the industry. I consider her to be
my musical “soulmate”. Are you getting it yet? If ever there was a
Rhumb Line Wednesday you should not miss, this is it, folks. Along
with Allen, Ardys will be accompanied by the legendary Reed Butler
on bass and Cal Mirowitz on keys. ~ Fly
Dinner with great music!
*Each week features a special, invited musical guest
The Rhumb Line Kitchen……features Morgan Forsythe! Dishes are better than ever before!
Plus a fine, affordable wine menu!
Upcoming guests…
8/29 – John Rockwell

9/5 – Ed Daley

9/12 – Strungout Playboys

Looking forward……to seeing you there 🙂
