Seeking Picture of Rosie Balboa-

Joey,

      I’m hoping you can help me locate a picture of Rosie (Crud) Balboa, who was a local visual fixture who lived by The Tavern and was usually seen down the blvd. in the 70’s.  Recently I did this portrait of Floyd Morris, The Clam Digger who use to sell clams door to door all around Cape Ann when I was a kid in the 60’s.  I’m a life long local artist and this is a project I’m working on.  Any help will be greatly appreciated.  I’m offering a free print of Floyd or Rosie ( once I’m done) to anyone who can find me a picture of the subject.  Currently the picture of Floyd can be found at local art & toy store, Island Art and Hobby, on Main St. in downtown Gloucester.  There’s a wonderful wall there where local artist can show pieces of their art for sale at low prices under &250.. framed.

Sincerely, James Oliver

“The fact that a believer is happier than a skeptic is no more to the point than the fact than a drunken man is happier than a sober one.”

George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950)

Born in Ireland, Shaw was the author of more than 60 plays, including “Pygmalion” on which “My Fair Lady” was based. Shaw also wrote literary and political criticism, novels, short stories and essays, many featuring his thoughtfully humorous outlook on life. An ardent and life-long Fabian socialist, he was a founder of the London School of Economics, as well as an early vegetarian, anti-vivisectionist, and a supporter of eugenics. He is the only person to have won both a Nobel Prize and an Oscar. It was Shaw who observed that “England and America are two countries separated by a common language.”

Gotta love it when our fishermen are celebrated enough to become bobble heads!

The GloucesterCast Podcast is coming to Stitcher for those of you who have it in your car, you’ll be able to listen to it through your car radio.

I listen to the podcast through the auxillary port and a 3.5 mm jack from my headphone jack on my cell phone because I don’t have a radio system in my car with stitcher. You can get a 3.5 mm connector for something like $6 at radio shack. Good for long rides in the car. Yo can also use it to listen to Pandora and any other audio through your cell phone.
