Public Event · By Dan King

Tuesday

My friends in The Bandit Kings
have decided on a trying a pre-sale pledge
(Downloads, Rare Live Tracks, Cd’s, T-Shirts, House Concerts and More..)
at http://www.indiegogo.com/helpthebanditkings
to raise funds for the next Studio Recording.

my take on the whole process is detailed below or just hit the link to go directly to the site.The latest popular and most successful experiment in music production
is doing a funding campaign(Indiegogo, Kickstarter, PledgeMusic, etc..)
to let us know what you’re preferences are today before we manufacture and print
to avoid wasting precious resources on items nobody wants.

Maybe you stream or download for free but collect Artful concert T-Shirts or posters?
Maybe you like to host parties and hire live musicians only?
Maybe you still love Cd’s?
Maybe it’s all of the above?
or if it’s none of the above
maybe you know a patron of the arts or an interested family member you can forward to.

Either way I really appreciate you’re time and please feel no obligation in any way. A non-vote helps our analysis just as much.
If it’s your cup o’ tea, drink it!

all the best

ps. a bit of proseThe Future/Fall 2012

I remember 8 track tapes in the car, Albums in the house, using Cassettes to record off the radio,
especially those memorial weekend 500 top song marathons while shooting hoops in the driveway.
Got a Cd player for graduation and bought my first ones at Gloucester Music, then came Mp3s, Wave Files
and we traded hard drives then thumb drives and sent files over email, downloaded Itunes and Rhapsody
and today I stream on, Youtube, Spotify and make Pandora radio stations for the car with high resolution Pono on the horizon.

The Future is now. With so many options available at our fingertips
Please Help us decide where to invest our resources.

Microphone technology hasn’t really changed.
Most instruments have been around for decades if not centuries
and recording techniques,
though editing is much easier with computers,
still depend on performance, time and passion.

Annoying Sports Media

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

It bugs the shit out of me when broadcasters refer to today’s game as Brady vs Manning instead of the Pats vs The Broncos.

What, is there noone else on the field you jackasses?

 

That’s like saying GMG is all me when we all know that it’s really the contributors, the commenters and the casual readers that make it what it is.

Sea Plane In The Fog From Bill O’Connor

Hi Joey,

The sea plane that was flying over the harbor on Friday made multiple landing attempts in the outer harbor.  I shot this at it was entering the fog for a landing.

Enjoy!

TICKETS AVAILABLE NOW for Berklee in Gloucester on October 25 at the Gloucester House

Posted on by Vickie & Peter

Don’t miss the kickoff of the new  Berklee in Gloucester season with a benefit concert featuring the great The Jim Odgren Quintet at The Gloucester House in their front room with excellent acoustics.  The band plays jazz and standard songs in a style steeped in the rich tradition of 50’s and 60’s Blue Note jazz.  A portion of proceeds will benefit the Berklee2Gloucester Scholarship Fund.

Doors open at 6:30, so come for dinner and stay for the show.  You can purchase tickets on-line now or call 978-525-9093 reserve a table.  Seating is limited and last time the Gloucester House show was almost sold out, so don’t wait too long.

Here’s some more info on The Jim Odgren Quintet:

Both Professors at Berklee College of music in Boston, Dave Santoro (acoustic bass) and Jim Odgren (alto saxophone) co-lead the band. Joining them are three young and very talented Berklee student musicians – Roberto Giaquinto on drums, Davis Whitfield on piano and Lucian Gray on guitar. Their music swings hard, bringing out a style reminiscent of mainstream jazz from the era, combined with solos that venture into more modern sounds. Dave and Jim have released one cd together. It’s called “Day Dreaming“. It can be found on CDBaby here.

Jim Odgren, alto saxophonist extraordinaire, has put together an album filled with playing of extraordinary intricacy. Yet it’s executed with such style and ease, it’s accessible to the common listener. Its smooth melodicism, mixed with intricate lines and exiting harmonies makes this album a must to listen to. This is musicianship at the highest level and it deserves a place in everyones CD collection

Hehaka Sapa (Black Elk) Quote of The week From Greg Bover

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

October 4, 2012

“The first peace, which is the most important, is that which comes within the souls of people when they realize their oneness with the universe and all its powers, and when they realize at the center of the universe dwells the Great Spirit, and that its center is really everywhere, within each of us.”
Hehaka Sapa (Black Elk) 1863-1950

Born into the Oglala Lakota (Sioux) Nation, Black Elk had visions and claimed contact with the spirit world from an early age. He fought the US Army in the battles at Little Big Horn and Wounded Knee, but later joined Buffalo Bill Cody’s Wild West Show, touring the US and England re-enacting those same battles. Twice married, he had six children, and was revered among his people as a holy man and sacred jester. In 1932 his life story was published as Black Elk Speaks, by John Neihardt, from which the above quote is taken. In the Lakota language Wakan Tanka is often translated into English as ‘Great Spirit’, but according to Native American activist Russell Means, its meaning is closer to ‘Great Mystery’.

Berklee is back in Gloucester for a new season on October 25 at the Gloucester House

Posted on by Vickie & Peter

We’ve just worked out a new season of Berklee in Gloucester beginning with The Jim Odgren Quintet, featuring not one, but TWO BERKLEE PROFESSORS.  The band plays jazz and standard songs in a style steeped in the rich tradition of 50’s and 60’s Blue Note jazz.  We kick off the 2012/2013 season at The Gloucester House in their front room with excellent acoustics.

Doors open at 6:30, so come for dinner and stay for the show.  You will be able to purchase tickets on-line later tonight or tomorrow morning.  You can also call 978-525-9093 to get tickets.  Seating is limited and last time the Gloucester House show was almost sold out, so don’t wait too long.

Today we also set up the Gloucester2Berklee Scholarship Fund at Berklee.  This scholarship fund is earmarked for helping to send a Gloucester student to Berklee.  If you want to donate to the fund, bring a check to the concert, make it payable to Berklee College of Music and put Gloucester2Berklee in the memo.  Soon you may even be able to donate on-line.
