My View of Life on the Dock
Inge used household items for all the percussion in his latest music video. Here is a glimpse of the creative process in action. Inge is very creative.
We are blessed with so many talented musicians around here. Tonight you can see the amazing David Brown, David Mattack with Dave Sags at the Rhumb Line. See the full lineup here.

Gianni and Joe are the men behind the Taste of The Times Videos at the Gloucester Daily Times Website- this is from them-
Felicia and Sefatia (“the Godmother”) got together to tape a segment on how Felicia’s Grandmother taught her to make a special bacala dish for the traditional Italian meal of the seven fishes on Christmas Eve. This is the second of three parts of the original footage. The entire shoot lasted over 45 minutes, which was edited down to a 10 minute video. (You can see that video at http://food.gloucestertimes.com/video/Baccala-Italian-Style-Codfish.html) Some have asked to see the entire production, with little or no editing. Here is Part 2
Inge Berge talks with Peter about his new song, the household implements he used for percussion and the video we shot together that features some of those very implements. You can see the the music video here:

If you haven’t seen the original video below you are missing out on the reason behind all those honey badger references you’ve heard all year long but didn’t know what the person was talking about.
HONEY BADGER DON’T GIVE A SHIT!

Inge Berge is gimmesound’s artist of the week. Inge Berge, a native of Norway , has made Gloucester his home. Inge is a natural singer/song writer that combines passionate lyrics with memorable tunes that you can’t help but sing. Check out the music video that gimmesound and Inge created together, it is a real treat.
Inge was also featured on Allen Estes TV show Local Music Seen and you can see the archive of the show here to get to know Inge more and hear some great music. Inge isn’t playing out tonight but check out the other music in town.
I went to a great new event last night at the Cape Ann Community Cinema for Artists After Hours… I know, it sounds a bit mysterious. And if that makes you want to go, by all means keep thinking it’s extremely mysterious.
In reality, though, a great group of local visual artists, musicians, and writers organized by Nonie Brady and Rokhaya Waring gathered to watch a great film about Charles and Ray Eames – the architect and the painter.
Now, I didn’t really know anything about these two before going to the movie, but afterward I felt ignorant for that. Turns out they not only designed one of the most prolific chair designs in our current society, they also made a film to show America to the Soviet Russians during the Cold War, solved the PR problems of the computer when it first came out, and made all kinds of other fun and fantastic contributions to society.
It was a lot of fun to gather together with other artists and then discuss the film with them a little bit afterward. Looking forward to the next event, February 27th. Word on the street is it’ll be a showing of Waste Land, about Vik Muniz, a creator of giant portraits of garbage pickers in Brazil made out of the garbage itself. He then sold these portraits with the proceeds going to the pickers themselves. Should make for some good discussion!
The family has joined the Manchester Athletic Club.
So the workouts have begun and it’s nice to be back at the MAC after not working out for a good number of years. The Gymazing program where you can have you children looked after while you work out is AWESOME!
Here’s David Swanson talking about his experience there-
Thanks to Inge Berge’s vision, inspiration and all-night editing, we’ve got a treat for you this week. He growls like Tom Waits and bangs on household implements in this bitter breakup video shot in his home studio. Few songs express the pain we’ve all felt at one time or another as well as this one set to a catchy tune that will play in your head all day long.
Watch and listen carefully — you’ll see all the percussion in the song is from the kitchen, bathroom and bedroom.
Last year we helped make Gloucester the number 3 Arts Destination In the Country in American Style Magazine. This is something we already know obviously but really don’t we deserve to be number one?
With your help and vote it helps the entire community by supporting our local artisans and allowing them another feather in their marketing cap to come visit, check out our vibrant art community and leave some cheddar behind 
Like the picture they used in the postcard announcing the contest? You may recognize it as one of mine. Claire Higgins at seARTS did a bang up job with the design.
Anyway lets support our local artists by voting!

Here’s the presser from seARTS who with Kristine Fisher and Jackie Ganim DeFalco have been responsible for putting this initiative into play from the beginning.
2012 American Style “Top Arts Destination” Campaign Kicks Off
In 2011 seARTS, working with the arts community, secured the nomination for Cape Ann/Gloucester as a Top 25 Arts Destination by American Style Magazine. Thanks to your votes, we won the #3 spot on the list for small U.S. cities. Voting time is here again, and this year, we want to aim for the #1 spot and increase our visibility as an arts destination.
Securing Gloucester/Cape Ann on this list again this year as one of America’s Top 25 Arts Destinations will elevate Cape Ann on the national stage. We have over 2,000 working artists on Cape Ann and a thriving community that celebrates the arts of all disciplines. After all, our Rocky Neck is the country’s oldest continuous working art colony in the U.S. while Rockport draws visitors all year long!
To achieve this distinction, seARTS is requesting the entire community’s help in spreading the word. This is a city-based ranking, but all of Cape Ann was included in the destination information submitted and the article in the magazine.
There are many ways to help before March 3. Here are some suggestions!
1. Go in right now and vote from your computer, your phone, and your laptop! http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/3YYDSTL
2. Put the link and/or icon at the bottom of all your emails in the signature line!

4. Link to the voting icon http://bit.ly/A3MD3D
5. Blog & Tweet the Survey Link
6. Share with your employees
Having this designation gives all of the cultural organizations and artists and businesses a chance to embed the Award in all their literature and promotion around Cape Ann as a branded arts destination. Please contact seARTS to find out more about how you can do this. info@searts.org 978-281-1222.

The new Boston Tea Party Museum replica ship was launched this morning from East Gloucester Marine Railways.
The ship will be part of a Tea Party museum including the replica ships from the Tea Party and is scheduled to open in June in the Fort Point Channel in Boston. The spot of the museum is close to the original site of the December 1773 tea party, where colonists dumped tea in the harbor to protest British taxes.
