Thursday Night Blues Party @The Rhumb Line to host Steve Sadler~New winter hours 8:00 to 11:00

Dave says,

After much wailing and gnashing of teeth, mahout driver Fred has ordained that the Blues Bash™ shall be forthwith  changing our startup time. We’re going for 8 pm to 11 pm all thru the winter. Forget 9 to 12! that’s for youngsters! We’re going for the formaldehyde crowd! But, seriously, folks, a lot of you have struggled to stay awake long enough to force yourselves to go out at nite. I’m the same way. But, if I can do it…..I’m actually excited about this. Many of our loyal fans have been quick to point out that there’s a lag from the time the wake ends till we start, so, this’ll give you a chance to clear the decks. Besides, it’s Valentine’s Day. Bring you insignificant other and clamp down on her heart! Damn, this martini is good….
So, let’s party! This Thursday brings up the rather large matter of Mr. Steve Sadler, one of my personal favorites. Guit-slinger, vocalist and recreational anesthesiologist, you’re sure to find something fabulous in his smood stylings. Not only that, but the electrifying Mr. Jim Scoppa is going to materialize, too. For many years the slashing guitarist for T.H.and The Wreckage, this cat has sharp claws that will open your pineal gland faster than you can say,”What, me worry?” Unfortunately, our chosen drummer, who shall remain nameless,  has been rushed to the hospital for emergency cosmetic weenis surgery. Prognosis is good, but a suitable replacement is under my grow lite, and should be firm by Thursday.

Hi Joey:
Blue Shutters is hosting a weekend of Psychic and Mediumship Readings on March 8 and 9th. I was directed to your blog in hopes that I could get some PR around this event. It is my understanding that if anything is a "happening" in Gloucester it is "happening" with the help of your blog. :)  What do I need to do to enable this information to be disseminated through Good Morning Gloucester? I have pasted below the Facebook event information from my Facebook page and Blue Shutters will be posting it on their page as well. Thanks for your help!

From the web:  INGE BERGE, a Norway native, came to Boston in 1989 and
went to Berklee.  A young man full of half-baked dreams of becoming a famous
Hollywood composer, he undertook a course of study in the art of FILM SCORING.
Nothing ever really came of that.  Instead, he settled in Gloucester, MA, where he
got a gig as Resident Music Director at the Gloucester Stage Co.  While there, he
wrote, arranged and performed for various & sundry productions including
original Israel Horovitz plays, and a number of successful musical tribute shows
(notably PAUL SIMON, CAROLE KING, GEORGE GERSHWIN.)
The story continues.  Please visit: http://www.ingebergeworld.com/
