The Rhumb Line ~ Tonight at the Dave Sag’s Blues Party ~ 9:00 to 12:00
Dave Says,
It’s Hadron Collider Week at the Rhumb Line and in keeping with the Blues you can use, allow me to introduce The Earley Birds. No, not led by the riveting saxist you’re used to, but by yet another Marque Earley. This Marque is a fine and dangerous vocalist and top-notch harmonicat. He’d rather drink heavy water and sleep in a hollow logarithm. He won’t take any answer for an answer.
He’ll be backed up by that fine glitartist, vogelist and tree surgeon: Mr. Larry Sortwell or “Lawrence of Ipswich”. His torpedo tube style is sure to please. I like it. He laughs at all my jokes, even when I’m not kidding. Formerly with that great north shore ensemble “Grapevine Road”, now he’s on easy street playing with us. John Loud , drumb octopus, another GV gold medallist will be beatin’ those skins. Of course, Greg T. will be armed and dangerous and so will I, still suffering from chronic euphemism, puttying up the cracks. It’ll be swell! Free admission with prosthetic device!
Name Those Tunes!
Yesterday, Peter talked with Henri Smith at Minglewood Tavern about how he’s bringing Charles Neville to Gloucester for Mardi Gras this year. You’ll hear that he’s mixed some of Henri’s tunes into the video. Can you name them? Just reply to this post if you think you know.
Wednesday is the new Thursday, now featuring 3 excellent choices for music every week. Check it out.
p.s., Thank you Laura Dow for giving Charles Neville an excellent view of Gloucester from Vista Motel.
Dinner with Fly Amero: 8 – 11pm Special Valentines Day ~ Fly Solo @ The Rhumb Line
Dinner with Fly Amero: 8 – 11pm Special Valentines Day ~ Fly Solo
I don’t know why, I just thought it might be a nice idea to
celebrate Valentine’s Day the NEXT day with a setlist full of
love songs and romance. Call it “music from the heart”, or
whatever you like… it’s my favorite stuff to do. Not likely I’ll
be taking any breaks – straight through for 3 hours-plus.
Come by early. Grab a table. Have a wonderful candle-light
dinner with your your loved one. And have yourself a warm
and Happy Valentine’s Day! ~ Fly
Wednesdays at the Rhumb Line
Prime Rib Specials!
Wednesdays Only!
*Each week features a special, invited musical guest
Dave Trooper’s Kitchen…
Prime Rib Dinner – $9.95 (while they last)
Prepared fresh weekly by “Troop”… always good!
Sincerely…Fly.
