Songwriting legend Ellis Paul at Old Sloop on Friday
The folks at Old Sloop took the summer off, but are back in the concert business with a bang this Friday presenting one of the most celebrated Boston-based songwriters alive today, Ellis Paul with Berklee’s Susan Cattaneo opening.
You can often get Old Sloop tickets at the door, but that’s not likely for this one. So you might as well get them here (plus you’ll save $4). Check out the performer videos below!

Blue Shark Off Gloucester/Rockport Video
Kellen O’Maley shares with Good Morning Gloucester
We hooked up on a few Blue sharks this past week about 10 miles off of Rockport. Although we were in search of Bluefin Tuna, the sharks brought some excitement as Tuna fishing can become quite boring. Here is a clip of one of the sharks as it neared the boat and eventually snapped off to swim free (it looks better if you change the setting to HD720). The good news is there is plenty of feed out on the banks to keep these guys away from Good Harbor Beach! This same day we also heard Dave Jewell of http://ladyjfishingcharters.com hooked up on a bigger Blue shark that looked to be over 350 lbs!

Seafood Throwdown, Farmers Market, Live Music on Schooners and in the Streets. It’s still Summer folks!
Can you feel it? People trying to pack a whole summer into the last week before school starts, which seems to get earlier every year. It feels like there’s so much going on that every choice we make effectively says “No” to a dozen other things we’d like to do. Take today for instance. Live music starts at 11:30am at Stage Fort Park and continues into the night at restaurants, clubs, @ Shalin Liu, on schooners and in the streets. See the full live music schedule here.
Just in case that’s not enough for you, there’s also the Farmer’s Market at Stage Fort Park from 3-6:30 and today you can catch NAMA’s only Gloucester-based Seafood Throwdown of the year at 4:30 featuring a showdown between 2012 HarvestFest champs Gloucester’s Willow Rest and 2008 Genoa World Pesto champs Beverly’s Prides Osteria. Spectators get to taste the food so you really don’t want to miss this one!
See how much fun these Seafood Throwdowns are in this video by Joey from the 2010 epic rematch between Passports & Dog Bar.

Rhumb Line Monday Night Jam 18th Anniversary Celebration feat. Russ Lawton and Ray Paczkowski of Trey Anastasio Band
Every once in a while you just have to step back, take a breath and marvel at the fact that you can go out on a Monday night and see some of the world’s best musicians jam in an intimate venue right down the street from where you live. And it’ FREE! Check out this note from Dan King about tonight’s very special Rhumb Line Jam:
Tonight is the 18th Anniversary of The Rhumb Line Monday Night Jam Celebration. The Jam has seen many ups and downs, countless players and attendants and many hosts holding down the fort over the years. Russ Lawton and Ray Paczkowski, two obvious jam masters being in the Trey Anastasio Band, are joining in to help us celebrate. It’s a closed Jam with a schedule of former and current musicians who’ve kept it alive, making for an amazing night of mayhem. Early Start at 8:30pm by Bandit Kings to get it rolling since they’re the current caretakers. Thanks for making my little idea such a big piece of Cape Ann Music.
Here’s an example of the kind of jam that gets going when all these folks get together.
Another reason to be glad you live in Gloucester!

Wonderful video by kids for kids!
This just in from Lisa Smith at Cape Ann TV. She and Vickie were at the library visioning meeting last night at the Rose Baker Senior Center. Here’s a picture Vickie took of all the ideas generated at that meeting:
And here’s Lisa Smith’s report, and a wonderful video starring her daughter April!
Excite Your Children About Exploring the Library!
Last night there was a huge turnout at the Rose Baker Senior Center to create a vision for the future of the Sawyer Free Library. Many ideas were exchanged and a constant theme that was brought up is that we need to get more children into the library to exploit this rich resource. Here is “A Little Tour of the Children’s Room at the Sawyer Free Library”, made by kids for kids. Show this to your kids!

15+ Things to do on a RAINY DAY & a classic video
Visiting Gloucester? Have friends in from out of town? You’re probably complaining to yourself that the weather isn’t cooperating, right? Not to worry! There’s lots to do in Gloucester and Cape Ann when the weather is lousy. Just be glad you’re not on Cape Cod, where there really isn’t much to do except go to the beach.
Just to see what he’d say I asked a friend, who grew up in Gloucester and now lives in NYC (owns a bar and writes for a New York Time Blog) why would New Yorkers come here instead of Cape Cod. Here’s the mini rant he wrote back:
Gloucester is a place for culture now, just like it was in the 1800s and 1900s. Contemporary culture is actually at its best here, maybe more so than any Mass city other than Boston and Cambridge. Where else can you buy fresh caught fish, see a great play, hear Henri Smith play a bar or watch the Met opera in 3D, attend a reading by a national author, eat lobster in the rough or a 3-star style meal, hike, jump quarries, dive off rocks into the ocean (there are no rocks on Cape Cod), mountain bike, drink a $2 beer in barroom full of fisherman, see the most beautiful boats in the world, go to a world class museum, etc etc.
You nailed it Ray! Below the video, we’ve listed another 15 things you can do on a rainy day. Just be glad you don’t live in England, where you wouldn’t expect the sun. As John Lennon put it in the Beatles classic, “I Am the Walrus”:
Sitting in an English garden waiting for the sun.
If the sun don’t come, you get a tan
From standing in the English rain.

Video- Unknown Sea Creatures Please Help ID
Daniel Rowe submits-
Hey Joey, I live in magnolia and frequent your blog. Found a create washed up on south beach in Martha’s Vineyard with some strange looking creatures that appear to have made a home on the top of the lid. Posted to Facebook to see if anybody could tell me what they were… No luck. Figured if anybody could identify them it would be you or one of the faithful GMG followers. I would love to get some closure to this mystery.

Broadway really has come to Gloucester — Spring Awakening is a Must See for Every Parent!
Even if the music wasn’t moving; even if the performances, directing & choreography weren’t Broadway quality; even if the play hadn’t won 8 Tony Awards, you should still see Spring Awakening at Gloucester Stage before the run is up July 14 — and the good news is that you will enjoy it immensely!
For some reason, it seems that by the time your kids are ten, you’ve forgotten what it’s like to be a teen. Spring Awakening reminds you in a visceral way — and seeing it will help you help your kids through adolescence. Believe me, every parent needs help with that! Check out some photos, by Gary Ng, of the production :
Bravo to Eric Engel and the Gloucester Stage Board for taking the risk to open their 2013 season with Spring Awakening. Good reviews are starting to pop up (here’s one), so you’d better get your tickets today if you want to be sure to get in. Click here – don’t delay!
