Posted on by Mike Lindberg

words and music ©2009 earl&arch

Another installment from Earl & Arch. This is a beautiful song that will tug on anyones emotions. Take the Wheel also will have a special meaning to all of us who have lost our father’s both at sea and on land. 

Look for Earl & Arch to be performing in Gloucester during the Fiesta live at various places playing all these wonderful songs. Exit 11 will be performing with them. I will keep you posted on the details.

Songs should be on line for sale in a few weeks.

Update from Frankie Gentile-

Just an Update –

Earl will be in town during Fiesta and will be playing a show Thursday Night of Fiesta down at Captian Carlos along with EXIT 11 with a portion of the proceeds going to the JJ Nicastro Fund. It will be a great night of Music, and a chance to hear this great song LIVE!

Earl and Arch

Here is a song by two friends of mine Earl and Arch. They both are Gloucester natives but now live in The St. Pete Beach area of Florida. Earl wrote this song a while back. I put some of my own video and stills together and grabbed some of the net. This should be the official GMG song.

ICE (In Case of Emergency)

I C E  – IN CASE OF EMERGENCY 

Apparently this is a standard procedure all paramedics  follow at the scene of an accident when they come across your cell phone.

 ICE – “In Case of Emergency”

We all carry our mobile phones with names & numbers stored in its memory but nobody, other than ourselves, knows which of these numbers belong to our closest family or friends.

If we were to be involved in an accident or were taken  ill, the people attending us would have our mobile phone but wouldn’t know who to call. Yes, there are hundreds of numbers stored but which one is the contact person in case of an emergency? Hence this “ICE” (In Case of Emergency) Campaign

The concept of “ICE” is catching on quickly. It is a method of contact during emergency situations. As cell (mobile) phones are carried by the majority of the population, all you need to do is store the number of a contact person or persons who should be contacted during emergency under the name “ICE” ( In Case Of Emergency).

The idea was thought up by a paramedic who found that when he went to the scenes of accidents, there were always mobile phones with patients, but they didn’t know which number to call. He therefore thought that it would be a good idea if there was a nationally recognized name for this purpose.
In an emergency situation, Emergency Service personnel and hosp ital Staff would be able to quickly contact the right person by simply dialing the number yo u have stored as “IC E.” For more than one contact name simply enter ICE1, ICE2 and
ICE3 etc. A great idea that will make a difference!

Let’s spread the concept of ICE by storing an ICE
number in our Mobile phones today! Please forward this. It won’t take too many “forwards” before everybody will know about this. It really could save your life, or put a loved one’s mind at rest. ICE will speak for you when you are not able to.

Montgomery’s Boatyard 1975

Posted on by Mike Lindberg

brotheriichristngWhile Ron Gilson was talking about various boatyards where the Draggers were built, It dawned on me that my father bought an old Jonesport hull at Mongomery’s for $400.00. He built the super-structure on it from plywood. It came out as a pretty nice little lobster boat. I remember we had lots of fun on that old boat. “Haulin the traps”
