Tuesday 11/11 (or Wednesday – depending on weather)
We have changed the restoration plan, with the immanent State Funding, and tomorrow the Phyllis A will be launched off the Railway, lifted with the Travel Lift, and moved to a repair spot in the parking lot of the Gloucester Marine Railways. This move and funding allows restoration work to progress from the Community Preservation funding work, in the stern, straight through to the bow!
It should be very exciting day!
We will post the final plans/ any changes tomorrow morning, in case you want to come see!
During afternoon coffee, I got updates from Doug… After lunch on November 11, the Phyllis A will be launched, floated around to the Travel Lift and lifted into the parking lot. As long as all goes well, everything should be done by 2pm. (IF they run into any issues, things may hold off until Wednesday. But everything is going to be just Fiiiine.) So come on by the Gloucester Marine Railways and watch the fun.

The answer is YES, which was news to me! Raspy breathing, lethargy, loss of appetite are all symptoms our sweet pooch Rosie was exhibiting and, because she is quite the cuddle girl, very determinedly nudging and burrowing to get under the bed quilts!
I swear by my chicken soup for whatever ails our human family members. Rosie immediately began to regain her appetite with just the first of many bowls. Keeping her indoors out of the cold and rain is recommended also. It has been nearly a week of extra, extra doggie pampering (my husband thinks she’s coddled entirely too much as it is) and although she is perking up, if the now only occasional raspy breathing isn’t completely gone by Wednesday, we’ll be visiting the vet.
If you have a spare moment, please send us your tips and recommendations for making your pet more comfortable when they are under the weather. We’d love to hear from you. Thank you!
Chicken Soup for the Doggie Soul (with some dry dog food added)

Gloucester’s day-boat groundfish fleet is in jeopardy as NOAA closes areas for cod fishing in the Gulf of Maine.
“NOAA Regional Administrator John K. Bullard said the agency is doubling the quota on Gulf of Maine haddock for the remainder of the 2014 season to help offset the anticipated decline in cod revenues and landings in the wake of the area closures.” Gloucester Times.
And all I can say is, awesome! It makes the granite walls and the bridge really stand out. I would love to see a few other places cleared out of weed trees. The top of Pigeon Hill used to have scenic vistas with Profile Rock close to the summit. Now it is hard to even find.

Henley-Douglas RnB stands above the pack as the funk band to keep your eye on. The Delta Generators are known as one of the most original Rhythm and Blues band on the Boston Scene. And a handful of special guests will make appearances including Eric Reardon, Sarah Seminski of Big Ol’ Dirty Bucket, Garret Savluk of The Boston Horns, and Yahuba Torres of The Ryan Montbleau Band. Tickets for this concert start at $19.
Salem native Henley Douglas, master sax-man co-fronts HDRnB (Henley-Douglas Rhythm and Blues) with soulful vocalist Douglas Gimbel . An original R&B/soul/groove band that performs nationwide and always delivers the mega-funk, this 6 piece ensemble blows the doors off any venue with sax and trombone, backed with fine percussion and strings. Big sound and funky grooves. The word is out- HDRnB will keep you movin’ all night.
Henley tapped another Salem native and fixture of the local music scene, Eric Reardon to heat things up with his stinging guitar licks that have been lauded by regional music giants like James Montgomery and the late great Johnny Winter. Reardon will be performing with Boston’s Sarah ‘Lil Shrimp’ Seminski, lead vocalist of the funk outfit Big Ol’ Dirty Bucket who will belt out some classic funk/Soul and modern Hip Hop/R&B with her powerful pipes.

That would be a hot show right there. But hold the phone, there’s a third act on the bill.
The Delta Generators are going to play their only show this Fall on the same night. If you’ve seen the Generators, you know. If not, they are one of the most original, funky, soulful Rhythm & Blues bands Beantown has birthed in a long time. Deeply rooted in Delta and North Mississippi blues, while throwing in elements of rock, funk, soul and rootsy Americana, local favorites the Delta Generators are a fine-tuned, well-oiled machine if ever there was one.
Bam! Now that’s a show. Noooooooo, these cats aren’t done yet.
Sprinkle on two very special guests to add flavor to this already smokin’ gumbo. Puerto Rican conga king Yahuba Torres, known best as the percussion wizard in The Ryan Montbleau Band will add some jammy Latin rhythms. Garret Savluk of The Boston Horns, and formerly of Heavy Metal Horns, will bring his bad-action trumpet sound to the night.
Now that’s a festival (as the billing implies). Seth McNally, founder of M.E. Productions and promoter of the event adds, “The show will culminate with a stage jam of all the evening’s performers bringing together the biggest sound in funk, blues and soul you’ll hear this far north of the bayou.”
Henley Douglas adds with barely contained excitement, “This show is a reunion of myself, Garret Savluk and Craig Rawding (Delta Generators) of the Heavy Metal Horns. Craig was the lead vocalist for HMH and toured nationally with the band. Garret and I have toured throughout the US, Europe and Japan. Taking the stage with Garret Savluk who has had a big influence on my musical career for almost 25 years, will make this one of the best shows I’ve played this year. With Garret and Yahuba and Seminski playing this show, the music is going to be awesome!”
Tickets to see Rhythm, Funk & Blues Fest are $19, $29, and $35. For tickets and more information visit http://www.larcomtheater.com or call 978-525-9093.
Chalk up another successful Community event in my gallery. In addition to mural artist Tricia O’Neill, mural subject Vincent Ferrini’s nephew Henry Ferrini was there and spoke to the audience of about forty. After the speeches, the group walked down to see Tricia’s mural. I’d say this was a “win-win” for all.

I think I’ve watched this thing a hundred times and it just gets funnier and funnier each time with the total disgust from the father who obviously is at his wits end with this kid.
