MOSSE the band is back – tonight at Short & Main
Joey,
GoodMorningGloucester readers know all about the band MOSSE from this GMG exclusive story when they played at Minglewood Tavern. (You’ll recall the post led to a great back-and-forth in the Comments about our Kim Smith’s husband Tom Hauck, who used to be a cool-as-ice rock star in the band The Atlantics — go back and check out the video.)
Tonight MOSSE is back for their last show until the fall. They’ll be playing at Short & Main on Main Street in Gloucester at 9 p.m. No cover. See you there!

You have to try this…
Alchemy just introduced a new menu, with plenty of delicious summery items like the Scallop Crudo and First Pick Strawberry Salad, but the dish we can’t get enough of is the Potato Croquette.
It’s like arancini meets mozzarella stick meets potato, but its somehow surprising light. Trust us, you just need to try it.
Before…

Do the Hula
If you ask my boys, Summer = Lobsters + Shaved Ice
“Shaved Ice?” you may ask. Fair enough. If you haven’t had one recently you are missing out. I don’t care how old you are! My boys are addicted to Hula Moon’s shaved ice…and, I can’t lie, while I usually stand outside on the street corner with the dog while they run in with little fists full of one dollar bills, sometimes I get one too. Hard to resist!
And, while I honestly can’t tell you yet first hand, I’ve heard that many items on their actual menu are pretty delicious too….and they have a fantastic view out their back window.
Hula Moon can be found at 27 Mt. Pleasant Street in Rockport. Stop on by, for sure!

Uhmmm There’s Zero Reason For You Not To Get Thirty Days Of Free Amazon Prime Video and Binge Watch My Favorite Show Of All Time…
INSTEAD OF WASTING MONEY ON REDBOX OR RENTING FROM CABLE
TAKE ADVANTAGE OF AMAZON PRIME VIDEO FREE FOR 30 DAYS
Just got a notice that Amazon Prime Video (which let’s be honest if you’re still paying for full blown cable you’re a dinosaur) is giving away free 30 day trials of it’s service.
Which means you can watch Kenny MFing Powers in all his glory on East Bound and Down. All Four Hilarious Seasons!!!
Not to mention about a bazillion other shows. There is zero and I mean zero reason not to take up this free offer (and just another reason people need to be cutting the cord and ditching cable and home phone services)

BTW, Read this from Gizmodo if you weren’t already convinced to take advantage of the offer-
Today the FCC voted to “effectively allow cable companies to charge whatever they like for all broadcast TV” — which is a shitty move. Most things about cable companies, the most hated of industries in terms of customer satisfaction, are terrible. Have you cut your cord or are you still wired in?
Obscure FCC Regulation Could Make Local TV Channels More ExpensiveOver at Bloomberg, an inside source reports that the FCC has just voted to allow cable companies to …
Read moreIt’s become a cliche — especially in New York City — to roll one’s eyes at a cable box and proclaim, “I don’t even own a television.” I’m guilty of it. The truth is that I miss cable sometimes: the endless variety of channels, live news, the comfort of always having Something On. I miss watching The Daily Show without hassle most of all.
But there are enough options with my Netflix and Amazon Prime subscriptions (this reminds me to cancel Hulu+, which I never use) to keep me distracted. If you have a fast internet connection, you have access to an abundance of streaming media — no Time Warner or Comcast intermediary required.
So why do you still keep your cable? And if you’re cable-free, what does your media setup look like?
Here are some clips from some of the shows you could be watching free on your TV, iPad or Phone Right Now-
My favorite- East Bound and Down
The Wolf Of Wall Street
Every Episode of The Sopranos

MUST READ CAROLYN KIRK RESPONSE TO TIMES SENSATIONALIST WIND TURBINE ARTICLE
To the editor:
The recent Gloucester Daily Times headline and story about the wind turbines (“No windfall from turbines,” May 29) was typical quality from this newspaper — a misleading headline and a lack of facts. Two points I would like to make — when my administration was working to make the turbines a reality, we were taking a stab in the dark in terms of revenue projections. We always estimated between $400,000 and $450,000 per year. As they came online and experienced down time, as well as mandatory shutdowns for two hours a day during the summer months per the City Council special permits, the revenue is tracking at over $350,000 per year. On top of that, the owner-operator makes a tax payment to the city of $40,000 per year as part of the power purchase agreement. We came darn close to our projected revenue range.

Peggy’s House, a Cape Ann Cottage: Photographs by Robert Lerch
The Cape Ann Museum is pleased to present Peggy’s House, a Cape Ann Cottage, a photographic series by Robert Lerch. The one-day exhibit will take place at the White-Ellery House on Saturday, June 6 from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. The White-Ellery House is located at 245 Washington Street in Gloucester at the Route 128 Grant Circle Rotary. This program is free and open to the public.
Peggy’s House is a collection of photos, primarily interiors, all taken in one particular house in Annisquam. Built in 1761, “Peggy’s House” is one of only 65 or so known surviving Cape Ann cottages. Typically referred to as a story and a half with a gambrel roof, it was the vernacular house of the time. During the Colonial period, approximately 350 Cape Ann cottages dotted the coastline around the island, and were home to the many families who made their livelihood fishing and farming.
Robert Lerch said of working on this project, “I am fortunate and grateful that I was given the opportunity to photograph inside a very special Cape Ann Cottage, within the current owner’s daily living space.”
Robert Lerch is a contemporary fine art photographer who has owned and operated a gallery on Bearskin Neck in Rockport for 35 years. His work is sensitive, soulful, and full of substance. He uses all found material and works only with natural light.
The White-Ellery House, located at 245 Washington Street in Gloucester at the Route 128 Grant Circle Rotary, was built in 1710 and is one of just a handful of First Period houses in Eastern Massachusetts that survives to this day. Unlike other structures of this period, the largely unfurnished house has had very few interior alterations over the years. Stepping inside today, visitors enter much the same house they would have 300 years ago. The historic home will be open this year on the first Saturday of June, August, September and October as part of Escapes North 17th Century Saturdays. Parking is available off Poplar Street in the field behind the house.

Gloucester’s Bruce Tarr presents citation to Bill Hanney at NSMT last night
Vickie and I went to see Dreamgirls at North Shore Music Theatre last night. Stellar performances from the entire cast. Excellent voices. Loads of fun! Check it out here:
Before the show our own Senator, Bruce Tarr presented North Shore Music Theatre owner, Bill Hanney with a citation congratulating him for reviving the theatre on the anniversary of it’s 60th year in operation.
As you might expect, Sen. Tarr was a natural on stage, offering fun facts about the theatre, which opened in 1955 with “Kiss Me Kate.”
Don’t miss Dreamgirls. It’s only running through June 14, so get your tickets soon (right here), before it sells out. Check out the video below.
