poems on Tanzaku paper

“Do not seek to follow in the footsteps of the wise. Seek what they sought.”
Matsuo Basho 1644-1694
Long hailed as the master of haiku, Basho did not invent the form as some have claimed, but brought it to new heights. He was deified by later generations who, for their own purposes, made it a crime to criticize his work. His writings include extensive travelogues from his wanderings around Japan.
Warm regards from cold Kanagawa Prefecture,
Guregu Boba-san

What’s EBMG?

Posted on by Vickie & Peter
Allen with his band circa 1973 (you know it’s been a while when people start using the word “circa” on your photos)

Not what, who?  You don’t think Jalapenos is going to cancel their wicked popular Tuesday night music — even though Dan King is off to the west coast, do you?  Nope.  This coming Tuesday, Dave Brown, Dave Mattacks and Wolf Ginandes (BM&G) will be joined by Allen Estes, hence: EBMG.

But don’t wait for Tuesday, lots of great live music this weekend.  See the full live music schedule here.

Here’s a quick farewell to GMG FOBs video we shot just before filming the Local Music Seen Dan King Farewell Special featuring J.B. Amero.  You can see part 2 of the special on Cape Ann TV Channel 12, this Sunday (Jan 6) at 6pm.

Allen will play a request for you on Tuesday if you can tell him the name of the song he quoted to Dan in this video.

Fish on Fridays

Posted on by Marty Luster

The Fish on Fridays series is a collaboration between Gloucester photographers Kathy Chapman and Marty Luster. Look for various aspects of Gloucester’s centuries-old fishing industry highlighted here on Fridays.

Today Kathy is sharing monkfish images. Romeo, the fish buyer for Connolly Seafoods,(www.steveconnollyseafood.com) is pictured at Cape Ann Seafood Exchange as he examines and comments on monkfish as the “poor man’s lobster”. Next image is a beauty shot of the wide smile. The second video is shot at Connolly, of the production line, showing the filleting and skinning of a monkfish tail.

The Atwater-Donnelly Band at Old Sloop Coffeehouse January 5

Posted on by God's Morning

atwater donnelly band

Old Sloop Coffeehouse will present a performance by the Atwater-Donnelly Band on Saturday, January 5, at 7:30 PM at the handicap-accessible First Congregational Church of Rockport, 12 School St.
Every performance is surprisingly different and always entertaining, exciting and educational with the award-winning duo Atwater~Donnelly, who provide a unique and thrilling blend of traditional American and Celtic folk music and dance, along with original songs and poetry. The highly praised husband-wife duo blends gorgeous vocals with an astounding array of instruments including the mountain dulcimer, old-time banjo, tin whistle, guitar, mandolin, harmonica, limberjacks, feet and more. Not to be missed is this Atwater~Donnelly Band show where Aubrey and Elwood collaborate with musicians Cathy Clasper-Torch on violin, cello and piano, John & Heidi Cerrigione on up-right bass and autoharp, and Irish step-dancer and percussionist Kevin Doyle. Kevin was the principle dancer and dance director for Brian O’Donovan’s Christmas Celtic Sojourn in 2011, and many from Cape Ann will recognize him from the performance at the Shalin Liu Performing Arts Center.
Tickets can be purchased in advance for $12 from the coffeehouse web site at oldsloopcoffeehouse.org, at Gloucester Music, and at Toad Hall Bookstore in Rockport. The suggested donation at the door is $14 for adults, $9 for those 65 and older, $5 for those younger than 18, and $28 for a family. This is a WUMB “Warm Clothes – Warm Hearts” event: bring a gently-used coat, jacket, hat, or gloves for donation to an area homeless shelter and receive a free drink as a thank-you.
