If you’ve been an FOB for any amount of time you know that from the hundreds of interviews I perform from my desk that I frame my subjects with two of my favorite things hanging on the wall in our office- The New York Post Cover of ARod with the huge caption “A-Hole” and the framed print of Jason Varitek stuffing his mitt up in ARod’s grillpeice.
So the sports reporters will ask if his number deserves to be retired at Fenway to which I respond “Are you serious?”
Without his leadership and without this scene below igniting his team you don’t have a ring. Bottom line, end of story.
Well ‘Tek is retiring so I thought I’d just go back a bit and pull up a few of the interviews. I’m not sure if my interviewees are aware that’s how I frame my shots but in case you weren’t paying attention, here you go-
There’s way too many to list here but you can subscribe to the video feed and see videos that get uploaded to the GMG channel before they even get posted here if you subscribe here
Thanks for the memories ‘Tek!

Her beautiful, sultry voice, distinctive sound and multi-genre style (folk, rock, jazz) have charmed most of us on Cape Ann. Now she has a new website (see here), so we thought it would be fitting for her to be our gimmesound Artist of the Week.
Click on the video above and watch her sing one of her most popular songs, One of Two, on Local Music Seen with Allen Estes (see her entire show here).
It’s Monday, so get out and Jam with the Bandit Kings at Rhumb Line.
Freshly Launched This is Just Brilliant For Sharing What’s Already In Your Garden or To Locate What You Would Like To Have In Your Garden!
This from Gloucester resident Susan-
What is your garden worth? “Find out by listing your extra plants, seeds and produce on our new website.” says co-founder and Gloucester resident Susan Kelly.
Gloucester gardeners now have an online site that lets them choose the option of selling, swapping or donating their extra plants, seeds or produce to other local gardeners. “We are so excited to be able to help gardeners make some extra money from plants right out of their own backyard.” says Kelly. GenerousGardeners.com uses Google maps to allow gardeners to find listings from neighbors, as well as list their own plants for discovery by local gardeners.
Started by two avid New England gardeners, one a long-time year round Gloucester resident, Generous Gardeners knows that gardeners love to share plants. This new website facilitates what has been common practice among gardening friends and garden clubs. It also includes an extensive plant database for propagation and maintenance information.
Gardeners can now start listing plants for sale, swap or donation on www.generousgardeners.com
Current plant donations are needed for the Second Annual Generous Gardeners Plant Sale benefiting the Gloucester Education Foundation. This year’s event will be held on Saturday, May 19th at Stage Fort Park, Gloucester, MA. Donating gardeners will receive a tax deductible receipt equal to the amount of their donated plant’s sale proceeds.
Last year the sale produced over $2,000 for the Gloucester Education Foundation (GEF), a nonprofit organization dedicated to making Gloucester one of the five best school districts in Massachusetts. For more info contact susan@generousgardeners.com

Jon writes-
Joey,
Tim, Anne and myself just wanted to again thank you so much for coming by the office and sharing with your readers what we do in the community. We are all daily readers of the blog and can’t wait to see how it all came out. I know I had mentioned that if someone wants to buy something on the website they need to use promo code BGI10 to get a 10% discount. I also forgot to mention that for businesses they can contact me at the office. We would love to get a large restaurant on board with us for t shirts. Thanks again Joey and I will see you at the dodge ball game.
