Evan Goodrow joins The Dave Sag’s Blues Party tonight @ The Rhumb Line
Where did the week go? Sorry I’m so late with my missive but I’ve had trouble removing the hose clamp off my back. So I’m suffering’: big deal….Just makes that halo over my head seem brighter. Anyhow, please remember to change your underwear and come on down to the Rummie this week as we present that galvanic superstar of mishegas: Mr. Evan Goodreau. I love playing with this guy; he’s so fearless and accommodating, too. We’ll share the vocal duties and rev up our Irish Ace of Pace, Mr. “Molto” Benny Benson, make him work up a big appetite.
And Monday, don’t forget, I’ll be down at the Rose Baker Senior Center from 1 to 3 , hooting’ it up with the Good Old Salty Jazz Band. Once again: it’s free! Gotta go! My spine is squaking!

I may lose my shit if I get another 3-4 Press releases per week from the same organizations over and over and over and over again
I like helping get the word out about all the cool stuff happening all over town really I do.
You know what I’m not a fan of?
Community organizations that send you thirty press releases from every member of their organization asking you to pimp the same event.
You gotta get your shit together people. I can’t even imagine how the community editors of local newspapers handle these organizations after they’ve been doing it for 20 years. I’d likely go postal, LOL
You have to talk to each other and have one point person who gets out your press releases and if you have two or three different events going on at your joint over the course of the week, combine the press releases into one email so we can put it all up there for you all at once and be done with it.
Think about the editor who isn’t just handling your press release, they are handling every other press release from every other organization in the city.
There are far more organizations that get it right but there are a select few that manage to hammer the crap out of news organizations multiple times a week and inevitably those same people are the ones who rarely send out a correct first release. Inevitably there will be a follow up email asking you to make changes or changes to the revised copy they sent you the second go around.
ARGHHHHHH!!!! Seriously You’re better than that!

GUT TUNA?
Poll- Is The Perfume That Abercrombie Pumps Out In Front Of Their Stores Obnoxious or Am I Just An Old crank Who Doesnt Get It?
I literally gag when I walk by Abercrombie at The North Shore Shopping center and inhale that perfume they pump out into the mall. Does it bother you or do you like it?
I’m trying to gauge if it’s just me or if other people feel the same way. I literally hold my breath after that first gulp of air.

Back to the ‘Bong-tree’
From the Gloucester Daily Times
Gail McCarthy Staff Writer
The 1871 nonsense poem “The Owl and The Pussycat” blossomed into another creation in the mind of a local writer and artist who has now written a book about the later generations of this interspecies couple, delivering with it a humorous and colorful message on tolerance.
In the poem by England’s Edward Lear (1812-1888), one line states that the owl and the pussycat “sailed away, for a year and a day, to the land where the Bong-tree grows.”

Bothways Farm Barn Raising Photos From Dean Burgess
Hi Joey,
Drivers along Southern Ave in Essex have been seeing the new barn going up at Bothways Farm,I thought I would share a few pictures for the Good Morning Gloucester viewers as it is not everyday that we get to see a barnraisng in progress.
The frame is made from Douglas Fir and is completely held together by joints and large dowels and no nails or metal braces are used. The frame was made right on site from scratch.The trees were from Maine.
The foundation is actually part of the old giant greenhouse that was there back in the 60`s through 2000 which some of the older generation may remember.

Brian, Karen, Priva and Yitzchak Luster Represent in the U.K.
We did our best to represent on our recent trip to the UK, and actually managed to get a few shots.
Represent-1 is at the Prime Meridian in Greenwich, England.
Represent-2 is at the smallest house in Great Britain in Conwy, Wales.
Represent-3 is in the Gloucester Road tube station in London.
And the fourth picture is of a memorial in Conwy. I thought it might be of interest to GMG readers.

OK, school started & it’s after Labor Day so you think the Summer festival season is over, right? Wrong!
This Saturday (9/8) is Noise Magazine 31st Anniversary Fete starring Preacher Jack, Willie Alexander and T Max @ the Dog Bar.
If you missed these guys back in the spring, you DO NOT want to miss this! If you were there, you’ll want to go again. These guys ROCK!
And don’t forget Rob Newton’s Cape Ann Community Cinema music/movie festival Fall into the Rhythm starts next Tuesday with La Cenerentola. Check this out from the Opera in Cinema website: A Live Fairy Tale, a stunning new film-opera event from producer Andrea Andermann, has been called “A kaleidoscopic fairytale suspended between Mozart and Disney with a hint of noir” by La Repubblica. Watch as Rossini’s jubilant take on the story of Cinderella unfolds in real castles and ballrooms in Europe, and through lush, never-before-seen animation. Starring Lena Belkina as Cenerentola.
It’s still summer folks, as you can see by the fact that we have six live music choices tonight. Check the full live music schedule here.
Good Morning Gloucester
