Public Event · By Dan King

Tuesday

My friends in The Bandit Kings
have decided on a trying a pre-sale pledge
(Downloads, Rare Live Tracks, Cd’s, T-Shirts, House Concerts and More..)
at http://www.indiegogo.com/helpthebanditkings
to raise funds for the next Studio Recording.

my take on the whole process is detailed below or just hit the link to go directly to the site.The latest popular and most successful experiment in music production
is doing a funding campaign(Indiegogo, Kickstarter, PledgeMusic, etc..)
to let us know what you’re preferences are today before we manufacture and print
to avoid wasting precious resources on items nobody wants.

Maybe you stream or download for free but collect Artful concert T-Shirts or posters?
Maybe you like to host parties and hire live musicians only?
Maybe you still love Cd’s?
Maybe it’s all of the above?
or if it’s none of the above
maybe you know a patron of the arts or an interested family member you can forward to.

Either way I really appreciate you’re time and please feel no obligation in any way. A non-vote helps our analysis just as much.
If it’s your cup o’ tea, drink it!

all the best

ps. a bit of proseThe Future/Fall 2012

I remember 8 track tapes in the car, Albums in the house, using Cassettes to record off the radio,
especially those memorial weekend 500 top song marathons while shooting hoops in the driveway.
Got a Cd player for graduation and bought my first ones at Gloucester Music, then came Mp3s, Wave Files
and we traded hard drives then thumb drives and sent files over email, downloaded Itunes and Rhapsody
and today I stream on, Youtube, Spotify and make Pandora radio stations for the car with high resolution Pono on the horizon.

The Future is now. With so many options available at our fingertips
Please Help us decide where to invest our resources.

Microphone technology hasn’t really changed.
Most instruments have been around for decades if not centuries
and recording techniques,
though editing is much easier with computers,
still depend on performance, time and passion.

Hi Joey,
I know you like neat Cape Ann sitings, and this caught my eye. Perhaps you know that Native American lore says our continent is a tortoise, whose ‘Eye’ is Cape Ann. If so, do you suppose this cracked boulder on Thatcher St may be its Eye-&-Mouth?
Enjoy!

October 12 meeting of the Gloucester Area Astronomy Club

At the October 12 meeting of the Gloucester Area Astronomy Club we’ll
be taking a look at where the two Voyager spacecraft, launched in
1977, are now (right at the edge of the solar system), where they’re
going (interstellar space!), and where they’ve been (Jupiter, Saturn,
Uranus, Neptune, and a whole bunch of moons). We’ll look again at the
amazing path they had to take to get where they are, and what’s up
next for these hardy spacecraft, about to become our first starships.
GAAC meets on the second Friday of every month at St. Paul Lutheran
church in Lanesville, at 8:00. GAAC is on the web at
http://www.gaac.us , on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/GAACpage ,
and twitter at @gaactweet.

Paul Spinola Lottery Win

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Hey Joey,

Yeah, the lottery may indeed be a "tax on the stupid",but folks do occasionally win. Thought you may want to share this video of a recent win I had with your lottery playing followers. I purchased this ticket at 7-11 on Bass Ave.  I will not be retiring on this but it has certainly improved/upgraded my upcoming cruise! 

Thanx!

The Problem with Catch Shares Video From GoodFoodnH2O

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

This video was featured on www.fisherynation.com

I remember my dad telling me when I graduated from college and was at the crossroads of either coming down the dock or continuing my education to become an Economics professor.  He said- “Joey if you come down the dock, there’s always gonna be fish and they’re always gonna need a place to offload them.”  Never back then could he or I imagine how much they would have hyper-consolidated the industry and reduce the number of fishermen in our harbor by 80%.

So in the middle of composing this post Pete Mondello pulled up to load bait to go lobstering.  Pete doesn’t have any fishing permits any more and he tells me the story of what his father Joe the cobbler said to him- “Pete if everything goes to shit you’ll still be able to go catch some fish for dinner.”  Never did he dream back then that if he landed fish he’d get thrown in jail.

What our town was built on- the spirit of the independent fisherman who could get in the business by filling out a sheet of paper for a permit and get out of it as much work as he wanted to put in.  Now all that is over.  No young guy can afford the millions it will take to get started up in this business as a fisherman and within our lifetime we will see the complete transformation into few large fishing conglomerates from hundreds of fishing families supporting thousands.

Happy Birthday 40th Father Green!

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Fred Bodin writes-

Father Matthew confessed at my gallery opening tonight that tomorrow he will reach the "Big 40." He looks so much younger, but I guess I’ll believe him. Matthew Green was born in Winchester (MA) Hospital on October 7th, 1972. He told me that his time in Gloucester, which has been less than two years, has been hugely enhanced by his connection with Good Morning Gloucester. GMG quickly put him in touch with the local community and the larger community beyond. We know him through his photographs and his words, and they’re all good. If you’ve met Fr. Matthew at Mug Ups, art openings, or other local events, you know how personable and approachable he is. When I took this photo, I asked him to hold up four fingers to signify age his of four decades. Now I think it should be for the next forty years he stays in Gloucester. This priest has blessed us all with his presence.

Annoying Sports Media

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

It bugs the shit out of me when broadcasters refer to today’s game as Brady vs Manning instead of the Pats vs The Broncos.

What, is there noone else on the field you jackasses?

 

That’s like saying GMG is all me when we all know that it’s really the contributors, the commenters and the casual readers that make it what it is.
