Thursday Night Blues Party with Dave Sag’s Tonight~ Ed Scheer, Jack Ward, Mario Perrett and Paul Foss 8:30 – 11:30 @ The Rhumb Line 5.7.2015
Dave says,
We got a real fine band this week: The Euphemystics. Not really new but famous in my own mind as a favorite to work with.So, let’s get going! Our fearless leader this time is the diaphanous Mr. Edd Scheer, the singing, talking drummbler par excellance. He sings, he plays, he has amusing side effects on the band and crowd. As agent provocateur, we have the commodious Mr. Jack Ward (Cleaver): glittering glitarist, singer, and blues composter; a real pleasure. On sax, we got that former teen idol and Playgirl® spokesmodel with his jewel-encrusted uvula: Mr. Mario Perrett. From Maine, we got the guy who put the bunion (Bunyan?) in Bangor: Mr. Paul Foss. We’re old friends. I don’t know why. Add me, the severely addlepated basis of blunt, stir well, and have a great time. Don’t miss this. 8:30 till…

No time for drama. Good luck to all those that try to drag me into their nonsense. Life is way too short for grudges and negativity.
Every year that passes Buddhism and Buddhist principles make more sense.
I choose happiness and laughter. Try it on, it’s a good fit.

Don’t Miss Anita Diamant Reading at the Cape Ann Museum!
The Boston Girl at the Cape Ann Museum
Reading and book signing with refreshments from Ohana Restaurant
GLOUCESTER, Mass. (May 6, 2015) – On Saturday, May 16 at 3:00 p.m., in collaboration with the Bookstore of Gloucester and Ohana Restaurant, best-selling author Anita Diamant brings The Boston Girl book tour to Cape Ann. Join us at the Cape Ann Museum for a reading and book signing with light refreshments. Books will be available for purchase. This program is free and open to the public.
The Boston Girl is a coming-of-age story about family ties and values, friendship and feminism told through the eyes of a young Jewish woman growing up in Boston in the early twentieth century. Written with attention to historical detail and emotional honesty, The Boston Girl is a moving portrait of one woman’s complicated life in twentieth century America, and a fascinating look at a generation of women finding their places in a changing world.
Anita Diamant is the best-selling author of several books, among them theRed Tent, Good Harbor, and Last Days of Dogtown. Diamant has often used Cape Ann as an inspiration for her novels and The Boston Girl is no exception. The Rockport Lodge, a vacation house for working women of low and moderate income, plays a significant role in the main character’s life.

The Stones of the Quarries Documentary
Hi. Hows it going?
My name is Rob Apse and I’m a filmmaker out of Boston, MA. Over the last year or so I filmed a documentary involving the granite quarries of Cape Ann. It was an Official Selection at both the Boston International Film Festival and Newburyport Documentary Film Festival. The film is also receiving a Gloucester Historical Commission Award on May 17th and will be screened at the ceremony as well.
I’d love to share it with the entire Cape Ann community and Good Morning Gloucester seems like the perfect place.
I hope you’d be willing to share it and more importantly, I hope you enjoy it.
You can watch the film here.
Take care and thank you for your time.
