My View of Life on the Dock
Before today, if you sang Happy Birthday on stage or to a restaurant patron or in a movie or video, you risked being sued by one of the largest record labels on Earth. Check out this article for an interesting story about the most popular song in the English language.
Summer might be over, but the hot Fall music season has just begun.
TONIGHT (FRI) you’ve just got to go see Sarah and the Wild Versatile at Minglewood. Here they are at our gimmeLIVE summer concert featuring Boston’s Rising Stars at the Cabot.

SUNDAY Lanesville Music Festival, featuring some of Cape Ann’s finest musicians. (More on that in this post.) Donations accepted at the door.

From our friends at The Lanesville Music Festival — check it out!
LANESVILLE MUSIC FESTIVAL – IT TAKES A VILLAGE
On Sunday, September 27, 2015 between 12 noon and 7:00 pm, The Lanesville Community Center proudly presents its 6th Annual Music Festival featuring local musicians, food, artisan and cultural vendors, activities for kids and beverages for adults all supported by enthusiastic local volunteers.
Admission is by Donation at the event – Rain or Shine.
Performances feature the talents of Charlee Biancini, Quentin Callewaert, Joe Wilkins, Mamadou Diop, Steve Amazeen, Greta Bro, The Tree House Charlatans, and Squash, Hicks and Pickens. This brilliant line-up brings together new faces as well as old favorites performing in delightfully diverse musical styles from African Drumming to Digeridoo – from sea shanties to sultry Blues.
In addition to the music, the Festival promises food and other fun… the former provided by The WillowRest, Joe’s on a Roll, Holly Cow Ice Cream, and our own LCC festival fare…the latter by a showcase of wonderful vendors and community volunteers.
The Festival is generously supported by The Cape Ann Savings Bank, The City of Gloucester, and other friends of the LCC. And, we in turn, are sharing raffle proceeds in support of the Cape Ann Animal Rescue who will be on hand with pet-able furry friends.
The Lanesville Music Festival is truly a celebration of our neighborhood and we look forward to sharing The Lanesville Community Center and the “Lanesville Way”.
Come early – stay late – listen to great music, amidst a festive combination of food, art, culture, education, beer, wine, raffles, popcorn, Hoola-Hoops and more.

Songwriters Circle Saturday, September 12, 8 p.m., $15
PERFORMERS: (Clockwise from top) : Allen Estes, Louise Mosrie, and Jon Butcher
One World Coffeehouse kicks off the season with a trio of blockbuster songwriters and performers who individually could captivate an audience for the entire evening.
Together they make a powerhouse of musical magic. Sharing in an evening of the best of contemporary songwriting and instrumentation at the One World Coffeehouse!
We present Allen Estes, Jon Butcher and Louise Mosrie. Allen is a local legend on the music scene on Cape Ann, Jon is a blues icon and Louise hales from the Nashville music scene.
Dave says,
We’re practicing Mindful Chaos this Thursday with the return of the affable Mr. Professor Harp. He was here a few months back and just riveted the crowd with his intense souped-up brand of Chicago blues. He’s got gizmos on his harmonica that make sounds like electric razors or garage door openers or even psionic kazoos. It’s mesmerizing!
Tagging along will be that fabulous glitarist and horseshoe champ, Mr. Mike DiBari. A wonder in itself! Breast beating by our favorite bald-headed eggbeater, Mr. Steevee Chaggaris. Gonna be a swell time in Fishtown. Will cure moderate to severe rambunction.
