We can talk about him all we want, but there’s just no substitute for the real thing. Dr. King is one of the greatest orators of all time. His brilliantly written speeches are full of musical references, quotes from songs, poetry and metaphor — all woven into a moving piece of performance art. Dr. King’s voice is lyrical and musical. It’s like hearing a great song — as entertaining as it is profound. Enjoy!
Discovery Auction (Walk-a-Round Style) Today January 20th – Monday night – 6pm (Inspection 3-6) 1 Lexington Ave. Magnolia Village in Gloucester, MA 01930
Discovery Auction
Extreme Snow Date Tues. Jan. 21st
Those of you who’ve attended our most recent events, know that well, we haven’t really had any RECENT events, because we’ve been very busy stocking up the old warehouse and this Discovery Auction is going to be jam packed with treasures!
What exactly IS a Discovery Auction?
A discovery auction is probably the most exciting and fun of all types of auctions to attend! No one really knows what’s going to be there. OK, so we have an idea, but up until the day of the sale, even we don’t know everything that the auction will include. That’s because we’re going to pack it with the best, most unusual, profitable loot we can find, right up until the day of the sale!
What! No listing? No pictures?!
Nope. We may post a few on our Facebook Page or on www.capeannauction.com
You don’t really have any stuff yet do you? That’s why there are no pictures.
Wanna bet? 🙂 Seriously, we are packed for this sale. But posting tons of pics and posting a detailed listing is time consuming, time better spent on getting the sale ready!
What will the cat drag in…
While we won’t give you specifics, we can tell you that there will be lots of antiques, glass & china, ephemera, furniture, box-lots & surprises!
Food?
A light snack bar & coffee by Glosta Joes!
Terms:
Cash, checks & credit cards accepted w/ID
Helpful tips:
Bring boxes & packing, get there early enough to inspect, and be prepared to be on your feet for a while. This is a walk-a-round auction with no seating. (Be wary of standing too close to friends who may want to bid on the same things you do!)
Buyer’s Premium?
N-O-P-E!
What do you mean by Extreme Snow date?
We will have the auction unless there are severe, unsafe driving conditions. Check our website or our Facebook page if you have questions about cancellation

Passing of Anthony (Bompo) Parisi
I read with sadness the passing of Tony in the times today. He was a classmate of ours and the last time
I saw him was at our class 80th birthday party at the Gloucester House this summer. I had a long talk with him
about our past association. He played football with us early in our high school years. He always lived on Poplar St.
near The DPW Property. I never knew his success in the fishing industry owning several draggers, Captain,
First Mate, and engineer. He was also the Past President of the Gloucester Marine Railways.
I will personally miss our classmate and friend.

Hi Joey:
Good pic from the Gloucester Marine Railways yesterday.

What’s the hurry what’s the rush, speeding onwards past love’s beauty, always present while we fill our head with lists only to empty a few to fill again. What we see outside is a small reflection of who we are inside. It is the unlimited creativity of our minds that paint the sky with such wonder. Ramani Rangan

My 2013 Gloucester Community Person Of The Year- Melissa Cox
I’ve never done a Gloucester Community Person of The Year Award but I got to thinking and this year it just was so obvious who I would pick for the title because after being around her (and her awesome husband Bill) and seeing how much she gives of herself to our community, to me it wasn’t even up for debate.
Melissa it seems is at every single community event and is always volunteering her time and work to make Gloucester a better place. There are people that show up for ribbon cutting ceremonies, get their picture taken and then take off. Melissa is the one who generally was there on the ground floor of whatever people were there to celebrate by getting her hands dirty and making things happen. Always with a smile always with a laugh.
Not talking just about her work as a City Councilor which during her young tenure has shown a great desire to do what’s right for the City not based on political vendettas, but truly based on what she thinks are the right things to do. She is responsive and effective in making things happen for her constituents and the city as a whole.
But politics is my least favorite thing so what I’d rather point out is how she’s always there at events lending a hand or at The Burnham’s Field Community Garden clearing plots and organizing meetings, and honestly it seems like every single event we cover here on GMG Melissa is there, supporting or participating to make our City better.
Melissa, thank you so much for all you do to make Gloucester even better than the place it already is.
We love you (and Bill too)

Get Outta Town!
Whenever I hear a ruckus of crows, I always look for a hawk. This hawk looked uneasy while being harassed by three crows as he perched in this tree. He finally had enough and flew off, with them in close pursuit. Afterwards, two of the crows were heard boasting about how bad they were to run that no good hawk outta town.

“I play better when the crowd likes it” ~ Johnny Winter. Listen to the interview now!
Earlier this afternoon I interviewed Johnny Winter and Paul Nelson, who is Jonny’s manager, producer of his latest album, “Roots” (which I highly recommend) along with his upcoming album “Step Back”, due out in April — and he plays guitar in Johnny’s band.
Johnny and Paul talk about their influences, the Blues, sound, performing, recording … Johnny even tells us how he practiced screaming when he was young. Plus they give us a feel for just how hot this upcoming show on Jan 31 will be.
Thanks to everyone who submitted questions in yesterday’s post. Johnny answered questions by Ricardo Fernandez and Tom Hauck in this interview. Listen below:
There are still a few tickets left to see the great Johnny Winter at Beverly’s Larcom Theatre on Friday, Jan 31. This show will sell out, so if you want to go, get tickets here.
