Miranda Russell on 104.9FM w/ Dana & Mugs Tomorrow (5/11) at 8:30AM

If you live in Gloucester, you most likely listen to North Shore 104.9 FM radio for local news, happenings, Red Sox games, classic rock and the best local morning show on radio, hosted by Dana Hersey & Kevin McGonagle (Mugs) who lives in Gloucester.
Tomorrow morning (5/11) at about 8:30 local vocalist Miranda Russell will be their guest.
Miranda will give a little preview of her concert next Saturday, May 21 (right down the road at The Larcom Theatre, Beverly’s most intimate, acoustically stellar listening room) and perhaps a bit about what to look for this season at Russell Orchards (her farm in Ipswich) and probably a surprise or two.
Dana & Mugs are always entertaining — and when they’re joined by a world-class entertainer it’s even more fun. Check them out!
Here’s a taste of what you can expect from Miranda at her concert on May 21. Tickets (starting at only $19.00) are still available, but they’re selling fast. The best seats are in the balcony. Get them here.
Fish Tales – All Women
Do you like stories told from the heart? Do you listen to NPR’s Moth Radio Hour? Well, you owe it to yourself to go to the Rocky Neck Cultural Center on Friday evening for this presentation of Fish Tales from the Gloucester Writers Center. These will be true stories told by people you know. It doesn’t get much more real than this. 
If you missed the last one, Tattoo Show and Tell, here’s a link to the video from Henry Ferrini.

Part 2 MANNY CARRANCHO SHARES TREASURED PHOTOS MADONNA STATUE CARRIED FROM THE GIL EANNES AT STATE PIER TO OUR LADY




A couple of years ago, because of research I was doing about Gordon Parks in Gloucester and thankfully Joey posted on Good Morning Gloucester, I was able to interview Manny and Joanna Carrancho. Manny and his family spent considerable time giving me a detailed account of earlier events in their lives. They shared treasured historic photos and first hand knowledge and were a delight. Part 2 photographs continue with a town procession from the state pier to the church.
More photographs tomorrow

Tallys Catches A Big One On Pavilion Beach
High Ground
Now that I try to take both dogs on my run/walk in the afternoon, I am hard pressed to take photos. For anyone who has chanced upon me taking a Nantucket Sleigh Ride through town while being pulled by 100 pounds of dog can confirm that.
This intrigued me too much though to not stop last night. 6:30 in the evening and no one in sight.

Dedication to the nose hair game…

How Did You Get There?

I took these shots on April 30. At the time, I didn’t know what I was shooting. I could see something in the distance on the wall, but didn’t know what it was (I was shooting from Oakes Cove at Ten Pound Island). There was no boat anywhere near or on shore, so I didn’t think it was people. If you recognize yourselves, tell us – how in the world did you get out there?
