This time around we welcome back Mr. John Keegan® ,uvula waggler and leader of men. Johnny K. has been very busy of late, what with his myriad musical machinations and Ebay Defcon Fives. We’re lucky to have him in one piece. He’ll be pointing the bone at you all night long. Its gonna be a dancin’ nite, so wear your thong and your Dr. Scholl’s. You’re gonna need ’em.
Blacking him up and chain smoking will be Mr. Gym Gwin, Fred’s brother (again!) on eggbeaters and symbols. He’s recuperating nicely from that conductor’s baton attack last week. None dare call it acnepuncture! John Hyde, jazz snob and loving husband, will be doing keyboard dooties. He’ll be a little tardy, cuz he has a late appointment at the tattoo parlor, getting ” Sandi” shot onto his forehead. Roomer has it that some mysterious sexophone guy might show up, too…who knows?
Of course, Greg T. will be there, vacuuming the gene pool, and me, too, on base, and ready to steal third…
Steak nite is over, brought to its demise since several noted Republican friends of Fred have disappeared mysteriously. So, Fred and Trooper have instigated “Cajun Nite”.This sounds truly great! so, this week, the Rhumb Line is offering a choice of jambalaya or popgun shrimp all at the unbelievable price of $8.95. while it lasts. Fred has installed seat belts on all the chairs. Troop is a really great cook, and plays a mean sax, to boot. The food is really good, you really oughta czech it out. Sure beats ordering that worm pizza at Domino’s. Free bibs for all you droolers. Do it!
Hello everyone. Hoodoo Revelator, www.hoodoorev.com will be performing their one and only show in Gloucester at The Dog Bar, www.dogbarcapeann, 65 Main St, Gloucester, THIS FRIDAY, July 29th from 9-midnite! Our show at the Rhumbline has been rescheduled to this fall so we hope to see you all at The Dog Bar this Friday!

Time to get out your dancing shows. The waterfront party of last summer is back. The North Shore Jazz Project is pleased to present a joint fundraiser with the Gloucester Maritime Heritage Center, on August 17th, 7-10 p.m. on Gloucester’s beautiful waterfront.
Group Saloum is Boston’s hottest Afro-pop band. Founded by world-renowned griot percussionist Lamine Touré, Group Saloum fuses Senegalese mbalax with elements of jazz, funk, reggae, and Afrobeat. Group Saloum performs original mbalax music highlighted by the infectious rhythms of Touré’s sabar drums, drawing upon the collective creativity of some of Boston’s most talented musicians.
“From Boston, a spectacular afropop act specializing in, but not limited to, Senegalese mbalax.”
— Afropop Worldwide
“Lamine Touré and Group Saloum kick out a hard-hitting dance mix that spans the percussive fury of Senegalese mbalax and the joyful uplift of Congolese soukous”
— Banning Eyre, Boston Phoenix
“Whatever your pleasure this album has got it. Group Saloum is a tight group made of some of the best musicians in Boston. For a city boasting hundreds of music conservatory and grads, this says quite a bit. Their polished act will definitely be thrilling live concertgoers for years to come.”
— Erich Ludwig, VP Artist Relations, Calabash Music
Proceeds from the concert will benefit the North Shore Jazz Project and the Maritime Heritage Museum. Tickets are $20.00: CLICK HERE
