Ridiculously good car singing
Audra McDonald, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, and Jane Krakoski jump in the car with Lin Manuel Miranda and James Corden for 3. Sometimes nothing really matters more than rocking out in cars. Whatever your music. Have fun.
Hmmm. Joey, you could do this, drive around Gloucester (no chanteys if you’re there)

Seaside Garden Club presents The Art of Ikebana
The Seaside Garden Club presents The Art of Ikebana – Ikebana Demonstration by Kaye Vosburgh on Tuesday, June 14th at the Manchester Community Center. Doors open at 7:00 pm for a social time and the demonstration begins promptly at 7:30 pm. Light refreshments will be served. All are welcome.
The Seaside Garden Club is pleased to announce that this program is supported by a grant from the Manchester Cultural Council, a local agency which is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency. The Local Cultural Council (LCC) is the largest grassroots cultural funding network in the nation supporting thousands of community-based projects in the arts, humanities, and sciences annually. The program promotes the availability of rich cultural experiences for every Massachusetts citizen. This grant enables the Seaside Garden Club to reach new audiences and provide quality programs that integrate the arts into community-based programs. http://www.massculturalcouncil.org
Ikebana is the Japanese art of flower arrangement. It is more than simply putting flowers in a container. It is a disciplined art form in which the arrangement is a living thing where nature and humanity are brought together. It is steeped in the philosophy of developing a closeness with nature. Kaye will demonstrate 7 to 9 arrangements beginning with the arrangement that a new student would learn in class. This classic style is similar to ikebana created hundreds of years ago. The Sogetsu School of Ikebana is known for its creative and expressive designs. Most of the program will be this contemporary style of ikebana that is popular in Japan today.
Kaye Vosburgh is a Sogetsu Ikebana teacher of the highest rank, Riji, as well as a Master Judge and Design Instructor for the National Garden Clubs. She has won numerous medals and awards in the New England Spring Flower Show. She teaches in New York where she used to live and in Massachusetts where she now resides. She has demonstrated in New England, Central Atlantic Region, Florida and Ecuador. She has traveled to Japan on several occasions for conferences and lessons at the Sogetsu School. Her favorite activity is sharing creative moments with other designers and students.
This is the Seaside Garden Club’s final program for the year. Membership is now open for the 2016/2017 season ($25). The Seaside Garden Club is a group of fun, active, civic-minded and hands-on gardeners. We invite you to become a member and enjoy our monthly programs which feature interesting guest speakers, creative workshops and a chance to socialize with fellow gardeners. The Seaside Garden Club meets the 2nd Tuesday of the Month (September through June) and are always looking for new members.

SNOWY EGRET ENCOUNTER
It’s not often that a wild bird permits such a close encounter. The Snowy Egret was drinking, feeding, and bathing at the pond edge. At one point a noisy family appeared and began throwing stones into the water. All the Mallards swam toward the far end of the pond and the egret retreated up into the trees. As soon as the family departed, the ducks and Snowy returned to the beach, resuming business as usual.
Snowy Egrets forage on mostly aquatic animals including frogs, fish, crustaceans, worms, and insects. The vivid yellow feet are often used to probe in the mud for prey.
Running back and forth along the shoreline while hunting, several times plunging in and becoming completely submerged.
During breeding season the Snowy Egret develops beautiful wispy curving plumes on its head and back. A great deal of time was spent smoothing and arranging its feathers.
Slender and elegant, the Snowy appeared smaller than a duck when its neck was tucked in.
Spiraling to dry its feathers.

Rocky Neck’s Excellent Music series to feature Guitar Master Kinloch Nelson!
June 18, 2016 8:00PM
Tickets available on line at rockyneckartcolony.org and at the door, $25, $20 for RNAC Members
The Cultural Center at Rocky Neck
6 Wonson Street, Gloucester, MA 01930
Gloucester MA, June 3, 2016 —The Rocky Neck Art Colony (RNAC) is thrilled to welcome guitar master Kinloch Nelson for a solo concert at the Rocky Neck Cultural Center. Many will remember Kinloch when he stunned Gloucester’s infamous Rhumbline a few years ago with his phenomenally entertaining virtuosity and style!
Kinloch has been playing guitar for fun since 1956, seriously since 1968 and professionally since 1973. Born in 1950, Kinloch grew up during the high point of broadway-to-the-movies musicals, the blooming of TV with its youth-focused American Bandstand and emphasis on cowboys and Indians, the heyday of AM radio and the beginning of “underground” FM radio. The ever-expanding music landscape in these years served as the backdrop to Kinloch’s guitar explorations, and the foundation of a 45 year performance career playing folk, classical, R and B, rock, country, ragtime, and jazz music in bands, ensembles, and as a solo performer. Over the years Kinloch has played with such notables as Tom Paxton, Amos Garrett, Buddy Guy, and long-time influence Danny Gatton.
Recently Kinloch has been an in-demand player at the Healdsburg, Montreal, Newport, Miami and Woodstock Guitars Festivals. He can be heard as guitar demonstrator on the websites of noted guitar builders Ken Parker (Parker “Fly” Guitars), Bruce Petros (Acoustic Guitar Magazine award winner), Julius Borges (founder of Newport Guitar Festival), Bernie Lehmann, Bryan Galloup and David MacCubbin. Kinloch can be heard on Heartland Records, BKNjr Records, and Sampler Records. This is an evening of music not to be missed!
