I think I see Emile Doucette in the water with his video camera. If that is the case then we can expect some incredible footage as he is right there next to Stew in this pic as he hits the water with the flag.

Salvy Benson Medley From Kitt Cox
From Kitt Cox-
“The idea was this….
I got to know Salvi when I worked for many years cooking at Sailor Stan’s. Two guys, two different backgrounds but we hit it off pretty well, especially when it came to relating the tales of our lives (it was my father who famously said, “any damn fool can tell the truth”).
It was also during my Rocky Neck years that the inspiration for both the song and the Sunny FishCakes (that name appeared to me on some barely decipherable ticket for a breakfast order that some waitron had just scribbled out).
So flash forward to this winter when we gathered musicians and friends into our West Gloucester home to record the song I’d been inspired to write by Salvi. Fisherman’s Ale and fiery burritos and a couple live take son the recording machine and we had our song, shaped by each of those present that evening. With the microphone still on, Sal shared his memories of the Greasy Pole and all of the fine folks and adventures his thoughts brought back. Doc Vincent caught it all and put the sound through his wayback machine.We had a blast making this recording and hope you’ll find something in it for you, too.”

Fort Square Cafe
Growing up my favorite meal was my mom’s mudiga steaks with a big helping of buttery mashed potatoes and peas.
Here is Christa Tumbiolo at the Fort Square Cafe presenting a mudiga steak sandwich with the peppers and the provolone cheese. I’ll tell you Fort Square Cafe is a great place to hang out if you want to get a flavor for the true character of this city. It’s a place where everyone is chatting and talking about the latest goings on.

Along with 11 other teams, the Gloucester-based filmmaking group of Michael Pallazola, Emile Doucette, Tom Papows and Brian Wright was named a finalist in the International Documentary Challenge, a timed filmmaking competition in which teams have five days to make a documentary that runs between 4 and 7 minutes in length.

Good luck Guys! Everyone at GMG will be rooting for you!
