‘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

Santa will be visiting the restaurants & shops ( maybe he’ll listen for your wish list)

Three Sheets To The Wind will be caroling while strolling Main Street from 6:30-8 pm We invite all to join in.

We got one of these last year and the aggravating thing about it is that after using it, it makes you feel like an absolute jerk for ever buying a $100 Henkels fancy chefs knife.  The Victorinox 8 Inch Fibrox Pro Chef’s Knife is still razor sharp after using it nearly every single day and it just feels great in the hand.  It wins awards every year as Gizmodo’s readers choice award for favorite chef’s knife.  No-brainer city.

MIDDLE STREET WALK SATURDAY, DECEMBER 10TH!!!!

Image ~ December 3, 2016 ~ middlestwalk

My son Griffin started a fundraising campaign three years ago to benefit Boston Children’s Hospital as a way to give back for the exceptional care he received there during two successful surgeries. What began as a school project has grown into a personal mission to increase his fundraising goal each year for this worthy charity. He raised $1,700.00 in 2014, $6,000 in 2015 and is hoping to raise $10,000 in 2016/17. For the past two years he has partnered with the Boston Bruins Foundation and the Corey C. Griffin NHL Pro-Am Alumni Tournament, specifically to benefit the Boston Children’s Hospital Pediatric Head Trauma Unit for concussion prevention and detection research.

Please consider donating via the following link:

In addition to web donations, Griffin will be hosting his third annual charity holiday skate on December 21st from 6pm until 7:30 pm at Pingree Rink in Hamilton, MA.  Rick Middleton will once again be his guest of honor. There will be food and raffle prizes, including a signed Bruins jersey and hockey stick autographed by the whole team.

Boston Children’s Hospital is ranked #1 on U.S. News and World Report’s Best Children’s Hospitals honor roll. More than offering great care, the hospital is known for its commitment to the Boston community—serving as the largest provider of health care to low-income children in our state. The hospital is also home to the world’s largest research center at a pediatric hospital, making discoveries that benefit both children and adults. Just one area of research we’re leading: concussions and injury prevention. Children’s Sports Concussion Clinic is a national leader in understanding and treating pediatric concussions, with a multidisciplinary research team and a clinical setting that receives more than 350 patient visits each month. Philanthropic support will advance critical research into this skyrocketing problem.

Thanks,

Andre Bouchard

Leave your Caption in a comment on this post.  I’ll announce the winner on the next GloucesterCast podcast. Must pick up the T Shirt at the dock.

Sm, Lg or XL.

To most men this is not a big deal.  But when you are as inept with tools as I am, It’s a moral victory that I managed to pull out the headlight assembly to change out the blown headlight and replace it with a nicer bulb without having to bring it in to the service station(or blow up my vehicle).

The stock bulbs that came on my 2013 Toyota Tundra have 3000K of brightness and these Philips CrystalVision ultras that I got on Amazon have 4000 K of brightness.

Here’s the link to where to buy them on Amazon (there’s a guide to purchasing the right bulbs for your vehicle).

Thanks to Frank Ciolino who had the 10mm socket wrench and came to the dock for moral support!

My new headlights work!

Made some ribs this morning and we got to sample some of Pigeon Cove Ferments Kraft.  So goddamn good! 

Rubbed down

The Weber Kettle Set Up For Smoking

Sauced and Sliced Up.  Check out that smoke ring. 

The salsa Kraft, The Kimchi,  both ridiculous. Verdict from Rick-
