High School jazz musicians from Gloucester and Rockport will hold a benefit concert to raise money to fight childhood cancer this Wednesday, March 13, at 7 p.m. at the Shalin Liu Performance Center in Rockport. The event is free and open to the public but the student organizers hope each attendee will contribute $10 if able to.
The concert will feature performances from the Gloucester High School Jazz Band, Rockport High School Jazz Band and the “Boulevard Beats,” a jazz group that includes local students Aurelia Harrison on vocals, Rafael Jabba on drums, Esme Sarrouf on piano, David Burg on bass, Willow Barry on trumpet, Thea Cunningham on trombone, Sean Buckley on sax and Sam Pallazolla on guitar.
All the money raised will go to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, a world leader in the battle against childhood diseases.
Jazz fans who are unable to attend but would like to make a donation can give at the fundraising website: https://fundraising.stjude.org/site/TR/TAEvents/Events?px=2965976&pg=personal&fr_id=145600©_link_share

Live Music all week at the Rhumb Line. 9 shows over 7 days…as always. Here’s the schedule for the week of March 10th. Also, next Sunday is St. Patrick’s Day and the Bordellos will be playing from 4:00-8:00

The fog settled in for several hours last week and so I went seeking some different atmosphere for some of the “same old” scenes. Here’s Motif resting in the fog from a couple of different angles. as if in a winter slumber awaiting the onslaught of summer visitors.

What a beautiful way to spend a Sunday morning. The waves were fantastic along with the sunshine. We are so lucky to walk and take a wonderful look at mother nature.

Before the sun came out, the wind was strong enough this morning to move a portapotty off site 100′ down a street. Later, when the sun broke, waves in the surf matched up with a cloud filled blue sky.
