My View of Life on the Dock
BUONA FIESTA PAUL!
Local photographer / filmmaker Brendan Pike shot some excellent video last night of the Chelsea Berry Band rocking the North Shore Music Theatre “like nobody has ever done before,” as one long-time theatre-goer exclaimed after the show.
Of course you are among the very first people to see this raw footage because you’re an FOB! And as soon as we have more to share (Brendan shot Chelsea’s entire set), you’ll be first to see that video too.
Tomorrow will rock with a New Orleans flavor when Aaron Neville takes the stage with Henri Smith opening — There are still tickets left (get them here), and, as you can tell by this video, which was shot from behind the LAST ROW, all seats are good seats. No; make that GREAT seats. And the sound is spectacular!
Weather is clear and looks perfect for the evening, so get out to Fiesta and party! Over a dozen great choices for live music in town tonight. Check out the full live music schedule here.
What is this? It came flying into the gallery last night. At first I thought it was a hummingbird, although it moved slow for a hummingbird and fast for a moth. It eventually landed and I was able to capture it and put it back outside. Anyone know what it is?

OK, I said it. It’s the elephant in the room. We actually have friends who look at us like we’re mental patients when we say we LOVE FIESTA! There are only a few places on Earth where the whole city parties and invites tens of thousands of other people to join in. Rio and New Orleans come to mind. Not bad company for Gloucester to be in, is it? Just look at this video from last year:
The guys who didn’t get the pole aren’t cursing the winner. They’re cheering him and carrying him on their shoulders out of the water and up the street. That’s the spirit I’m talking about! A little more of this spirit on a daily basis would make all our lives better.
Plus there’s live music all over town (see full live music schedule here) and nearly everybody you run into is in a great mood for days at a time. So let’s have some fun, OK?
Chelsea berry and Chris isaak great seats

Hi Joey, this just came up if you want to post it.
I was getting a breath of fresh air out on the sidewalk just now, chatting with Max, the Bar Manager of Jalapeños Mexican Restaurant next door. I suggested they have a "Greasy Pole" cocktail special for Saint Peter’s Fiesta. "Great idea," he said, "we could use the local Folly Cove Rum and grapefruit juice in it!" As for liquors and other ingredients – got any ideas? If they use your recipe you’ll get a drink on the house! Reply to me at info@BodinHistoricPhoto.com
Dave Says,
Put your glands together and let’s welcome back that rockem’ sockem’ vixen of the blues: Ms. Diane Blue. She’ll be gracing our stage this week with enough heat to melt your mind! I love this woman! She really makes it happen! She’ll be singing’ all your favorite toons and blowing that category 5 harmonica till the clowns come home!
Backing her up and putting on a happy face will be that winsome wildcat of the 88’s: Mr. John Cameron, rapidly becoming my favorite ping partner. Thrashing the skins will be that Madhouse® rump-a-pum-pum pummeler, Mr. roger Brocklebank. Gonna make him sing, too.
Of course, Mr. Greg T. and myself will be on hand, either cringing or wiggling thru the changes. A great nite to go out!
p.s. I even heard that Mark Earley is gonna show up.
