Andrew Clark w/Steve Bankuti, Jack Ward and Dear Ol’ Dave Sag, Tonight! Davesag’s blues party 8:30pm @ The Rhumb Line 9.28.2017 it’s been a wicked long time…rock n roll!

The Tootin’ Torquemada of the tenor returns this Thursday! My old buddy.  Mr. Andrew Clark returns for another night of wild digressions and upbeat toons guaranteed to make your choppers vibrate. Been awhile since Big A. has transgressed our shores and I’m looking to have a wild time chasing him around the circle of fifths!

On Guitar, “Big Jack” Ward, Luther Johnson’s longtime pot-stirrer will be holding down the fort from his high stool, and everybody’s favorite thumper, Mr. Steve Bankuti  will wind you up. Lot’s of dancing!

IT WAS A KNOCK OUT!

Gorgeous sunset over Gloucester Harbor and Rocky Neck, with the colors of the sky flowing from red hot reds and oranges to soothing shades of violet pinks and blues. Within moments, the sky hues changed from orange to violet.

Kayaking on Monday afternoon

After work on Monday decided to go kayaking in Magnolia Harbor.  You can see the remnants of all the tropical storms out at sea.

 

BACKYARD GROWERS RAISES $20,000.00 FOR WHEAT GARDEN AT O’MALEY!!!

Backyard Growers writes, “WHAT A NIGHT! Our sold-out Great Gloucester Growdown fundraiser last night was everything we could have hoped and more: a group of amazing people came together for a night of wonderful food at Short & Main, incredible music by SAFETY, and generous support of our school and community programs. All together we raised over $20,000 and the 7th graders at O’Maley will be getting a new wheat garden this year! THANK YOU to everyone who came out and dug deep. We are so lucky to have all of you partnering with us in this work. Special shout out to our fab event planning committee: Muffy Lake White, Karen Uhrowczik Harrison, Julie Lake, Sophie Ella Courser and Amelia Monday.”
