Our girls representing Gloucester’s great music all across the country . . .
Last night, Chelsea Berry played the The Bitter End, New York City’s oldest and most iconic club. Boy that place brings back memories — I wish I had been there!
Look at her in this picture. Even without her excellent band she still rocks!
I can hear it now.
And while Chelsea was in NYC, Marina Evans is out west. Check out this excerpt from her latest tour report.
The cross country tour is just about drawing to a close as we make our final journey across the southwestern desert. Since the last update from Nashville, we’ve hit Asheville, NC; Atlanta, GA; New Orleans, LA; Dallas, TX; and Socorro, NM. Whew!
So far, the longest stretch has been from west Texas to New Mexico. But not to fear: we brought a ukulele, and were therefore musically productive on the road. Here’s a little diddy from the west Texas brushlands.
Back on the home front, you can get a double dose of John Rockwell tonight. He’s at Alchemy at 7pm and then he’s Fly Amero‘s guest at Rhumb Line at 9pm.
An excellent weekend of live music is shaping up. See the schedule here. But check back tomorrow because I’m sure we’ll have new stuff to post. I really thought Vickie’s post 3 weeks ago would inspire people keep their info up to date, but they don’t, so you’ll just have to wait.

Beach Search
Boston’s MISSION FOR THE MISSING along with trained volunteers, search dogs and a forensic scientist descended on Good Harbor Beach at 10AM today to search for traces of Caleigh Harrison who disappeared from Long Beach on April 19. The search follows recovery on Friday at Good Harbor of what is likely the pants Caleigh was wearing on the day she went missing.
Caleigh’s parents, Anthony Harrison and Allison Hammond, were on hand as the search commenced and each expressed approval of the effort in the hope that it would result in a degree of closure for them.

“Songs are these great recipes of inspiration and torture.”
That’s what award-winning, Denver-based singer / songwriter Megan Burtt, says on Local Music Seen with Allen Estes, which premieres tomorrow night at 6:30pm on Cape Ann TV Channel 12.
Megan was kind enough to stop in and tape a show last week after having played to a sold out crowd at the Old Sloop Coffeehouse. Her writing is straight from her heart and gut. Her songs take you away and when you return you’re a different person. You don’t want to miss this show!
Those of you familiar with Local Music Seen know that Allen starts every show with a song, and for this one, he premiered a brand new song that doesn’t even have a title. (Megan told me her idea for a name, but we won’t reveal that until after the show airs.) Here’s a video of that song. Leave a comment using the link below to share any ideas you have for a name (See more videos by Allen Estes here)
You can see Allen at Jalapenos tonight sitting in with KBMG for Dan King, who’s in Seattle.
More excellent music all week long. See the complete live music Schedule here.

Brisk Walk on Wingaersheek Beach

Being Distracted Can Get You Wet
Three people went for a walk out on the sandbar off Wingaersheek Beach Sunday afternoon and ended up going for an unexpected swim. It was a beautiful day and I was out showing the village to visiting FOB’s Linda and Rob Castagna from Milford, NJ when we came across this scene. In the first photo, you can see the most distracted of the three running full speed to catch up with his two friends who were nearly back to the beach (2nd photo). In the 3rd photo you can see that the beginning of the sandbar is now under water and in the 4th photo, well – they have no choice but to wade in to shore. Fortunately is was a balmy November day and the water hasn’t had a chance to get too cold.

Windmill Chatter
Paul Korn writes-
We are so proud of our city as it moves solidly into the 21st century. Some may complain that it ruins the view. Every morning, I see this glorious structure (the first of three) as I walk on Good Harbor Beach. It is a visible commitment to doing our part to create cleaner energy, not to mention making a statement that we care and will act on our values. (And we will be saving money!)

Loretta Ligor forwards anti Windmill Articles-
Ten years too late, it’s good riddance to wind farms – one of the most dangerous delusions of our age
Energy Minister John Hayes has announced no more wind farms are allowed to be built in the UK
The significance of yesterday’s shock announce-ment by our Energy Minister John Hayes that the Government plans to put a firm limit on the building of any more onshore windfarms is hard to exaggerate.

A Place at the Table
“A Place at the Table”, last night’s gala celebration at Gold Sponsor Cruiseport Gloucester to benefit Pathways children, was quite a well-attended and lively affair. Senator Bruce Tarr, auctioneer extraordinaire, obviously knew the crowd and worked it well, keeping the bids flying across the room in an exciting bidding frenzy that by the end of the evening raised (best guess doing the math in my head) over $100,000 for Pathways for Children. Gloucester High ROTC students, one of whom was also a Pathways kid, paraded the tables around the room so that bidders could see the pieces up close and from all angles. Some of the highest bid winning pieces were Jan Charles’ “A Very Good Year”, Ken Knowles’ “On Gloucester Harbor”, Chris Williams’ “Private School”, and going for over $7,000, Jeff Weaver’s “Island Life”.
The bidding centered around parsons tables turned into beautiful art pieces by well-known Cape Ann artists Joan Bediz, John Caggiano, Jan Charles, Kathy Connolly, Charlie Crowley & Claire Sanford, Charlesanna Detra, Loren Doucette, Rose-Marie Glen, Pam Hawkes, Mary Hughes & Caro-Gray Bosca, Ken Knowles, T.M. Nicholas, Jr., Sigrid Olsen, Stephanie Terelak, Jeff Weaver and Chris Williams. There were also uniquely painted and decorated boxes for a special silent auction, as well as a bold and colorful display of works by Pathways child artists.
Proceeds from the auction directly benefit the education programs of Pathways for Children, the leading provider of high quality early education and family support services on the North Shore. Pathways’ programs, which serve over 600 infant to adolescent children, strengthen families and build healthier communities. The mission of Pathways for Children is to serve the best interests of infant through adolescent children and their families – whether disadvantaged by circumstances or in search of opportunity – by delivering the empowering gift of quality educational, social development and support services that strengthen the family unit and the community.

Jalal ad-Din Muhammad Bakhi Quote of The Week From Greg Bover
“Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.”
Jalal ad-Din Muhammad Bakhi (Rumi) (1207-1273)
Born in Persia, present day Iran, Rumi, as he is called in the West, is more often referred to in the Islamic world as Mawlana, or the Master. Beginning his adult life as a teacher and jurist, as his father had been, Rumi traveled to Damascus where he met and began studying under the dervish Shams-e Tabrizi. Turning his life toward philosophical pursuits, he became the poet, musician and mystic that he is remembered as today. He believed that love is the earthly manifestation of the Divine and that music, poetry and dance can be the means to draw closer to it. Although his spiritual explorations are based in the Sufi Moslem mystical tradition, they have been adopted into many other languages and religious teachings for their universal appeal to those seeking inner peace and harmonious living. From his book of collected poems Masnawi:
Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing
and rightdoing there is a field.
I’ll meet you there.
When the soul lies down in that grass
the world is too full to talk about.
Good Morning Gloucester
