I’m am starting out the bidding very low so you can enjoy a beautiful painting by my dad for a crazy low cost. You will see paintings this size by other Cape Ann artists for hundreds of dollars more. So Bid and own a beautiful piece of Cape Ann Art by a Great Cape Ann Painter “Paul F Frontiero Sr.”

If you don’t do Ebay and like one of the Paintings and there are no bids on it you can contact me at frontiero@hotmail.com and we’ll work something out.

I also have larger paintings 16″x20″ up to 36″x40″, so if you’d like to come take a look at them contact me to set a an appointment.

I’ll ship anywhere in the USA or will hand deliver it to you if you live on Cape Ann.

Ron Gallo & The Satellite Hearts Saturday 9pm with Julie Rhodes opening @ 8pm June 6…Don’t miss it!

Posted on by Joanne

ron gallo1

Ron Gallo, former frontman of critically acclaimed rock ‘n’ roll band Toy Soldiers, spent the last year in the trenches of transition and self-examination, resulting in the birth of “RONNY”, a new album/band/outlet that follows the shifting habits and rituals of Ron Gallo at any given time. His 7 year tenure in the aforementioned rock band taught him about the grit and joy that exists in the hot pursuit of his truest love; but mostly that he’s got no other choice, and was put here to make songs and sing them for people at places, all the time. He is 6’3, has large hair and was once described as “racially ambiguous.”

Backing Ron Gallo this time around, we welcome the Satellite Hearts! Pure rock ‘n’ roll, wild and dangerous, yet full of awe and childlike wonder. It’s like The Clash infused with unpolished 80’s brat punk that trekked through the 60’s while flirting with bell-bottomed psychedelics.

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Save the date! Friday June 12 @8:00 is GAAC’s “Welcome to Amateur Astronomy Night.” Don’t miss this annual overview of everything you need to know to begin exploring the cosmos in the company of very nice people.

We’ll have telescopes of every size and description set up inside the Lanesville Community Center for you to inspect and ask their owners about.  What are the benefits of that particular scope? What can you see? How much did it cost? Get lots of answers while munching a brownie. And that’s not all:

You’ll enjoy six quick, colorful ten-minute presentations on different Astronomy topics, featuring GAAC faves Mario Motta, Glenn Chaple, Elaine Kolaczkowski, Jim Koerth, Alan Winter, and John Hobbs.

Our program:

  • What you need to know to get started in astronomy
  • How to buy your first scope, and what you need to do before you buy
  • The upcoming 2017 solar eclipse, how and where to view it
  • All the best astronomy gadgets, from the gadget meister
  • The how’s and why’s of binocular astronomy — seeing more with less
  • How to do astrophotography without a telescope (with examples!)

Of course we’ll have the usual goodies, friendly folks and wonderful conversation you’ve come to enjoy from GAAC.

We meet at the Lanesville Community Center, 8 Vulcan Street in Gloucester, MA, at 8:00 on the second Friday of every month. Everything we do is free; there are no dues or fees, ever. Find more info on the club at our website, http://gaac.us, our Facebook page, http://www.facebook.com/gaacpage, or on twitter, @GAACster.

Who Sees weasels? Al Bezanson, That’s Who!

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Our boy Al Bezanson submits-

Pop!

I was approaching my back steps and focusing a telephoto lens on these flowers when up popped a weasel. He appeared for just a few seconds three times, and I managed this quick shot on his last pop. He seemed to be staring me down, and my expression mirrored his I’d guess.  I was very happy to see him, for a single weasel typically kills hundreds of mice in a year.

Have you ever seen a weasel?  Fairly certain I haven’t.  Is that weird that I haven’t seen a weasel?

A Little Slice of Rockport

Posted on by Nichole S.

Safe to say that Motif No. 1, Bearskin Neck, Tuna Wharf, Halibut Point, and the shops on Main Street are amongst the Go To places when one considers Rockport as a destination.  A less known, but not-to-be-missed little slice of Rockport, is Millbrook Meadow….and its Mill Pond. Together, the park and the pond, create a quaint little scenic masterpiece.

I was sad to have missed the Rubber Duck Race held in the park this past Saturday, but I knew that GMG’s Paul T. Morrison and his famous (infamous) RD were on the job.

Read his race coverage HERE

We’ve spent several quiet days grabbing lunch downtown and then sitting in the park.  It is incredibly beautiful and wonderfully quiet.  Located directly across from Front Beach and next to Nate’s at Front Beach is a small path that will lead you into the park.  Nate’s, for the record, is one of many places in town to pick up a fantastic lunch or breakfast to eat at Millbrook Meadow!

See Nate’s Menu HERE!

Please, do yourself a favor, and read more about the park, its pretty incredible history, and the Millbrook Meadow Conservancy HERE!   Great things are happening thanks to some great people. A big restoration is planned and no doubt the results will be phenomenal!

Huge Thanks To Everyone For Last Night At The Studio

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

What a fantastic evening.  I can’t thank enough Ken , Kerry and the rest of the Staff at The Chamber of Commerce along with Greg Halle and his staff at The Studio.  It was great to have Mayor Sefatia and Mayor Kirk in attendance (two great leaders) Thank you for all the representatives from the Chamber that made it down to Rocky Neck last night as well.  You all made the night one to remember for our GMG Family.

My Boy John McElhenny- our friendship runs deep my man. Your introduction was tremendous!
The room- the food-the drinks-all spot on.

The thing that makes nights like last night shine above all else is the company.

Who is richer than us to be surrounded by such loving friends and family?

If I’ve said it once I’ve said it a thousand times- I’ll take my crew over anyone else’s 100 times out of a hundred and then some!

When we work as a team and pull in the same direction for good, stuff like last night happens.  Let’s keep at it!
