Allen Estes is on a roll! Just in the last week, he’s written 2 new songs. And last month he premiered this gem, recorded for his show Local Music Seen that will air later this month. (If you were at the Docksiders’ benefit on March 31 you heard the song in this video).

Following in Father Green’s footsteps, I am sharing my experience with the Video Edit app for the iPhone. The purpose for installing Video Edit is to be able to instantly upload and blog videos for GMG readers.
Prunus cerasifera ‘Thundercloud’
Rendering and compressing are very, very fast in this application; it is designed for ease of use and for speed. There are are no editing transitions, audio overlays, or other extra features included in this app, however that is not necessary when you want to capture, edit, and share in the fastest time possible.
Open Video Edit, click on the plus sign in the lower right corner, chose a clip from your camera roll, and click Choose in the lower right hand corner. Wait while the application compresses the video clip; a one minute clip took about 20 seconds to compress. You can add up to twenty clips and rearrange the clips in any order by dragging the clips in the timeline with your fingertip. Next type in the title, click Done. Click the check mark in the upper right corner, which brings you to the Render To page. You can render to iPhone, Email, Facebook, or YouTube. The 2 minute and 9 second video took less than ten seconds to render to my iPhone and twelve minutes approximately to render to youtube. Done-BOOM! That is as far as I can go on my own–next step is to ask Joey how to live blog it!
Filmed on Plum Street, Gloucester. Liltingly fragrant and a hummingbird attractant, Prunus cerasifera ‘Thundercloud’ is the most widely planted purple-leaf street tree in the U.S.
Allen Estes‘ friend Orville Giddings just always seems so happy even when he’s singing sad songs. Orville is Allen’s guest on Local Music Seen this week. If you have cable you can see them on Channel 12 Wednesday, Friday & Sunday (see schedule here). And you can see them perform on Sunday at the Rhumb Line.

Miranda Russell at Shalin Liu last night with surprise guest Inge Berge on guitar (L-R: John Hyde, Joe Kessler, Miranda Russell, Vincent Briguglio, Inge Berge, Leo Ciaramitaro)
Justin Piper’s wife was in labor so Miranda called Inge at about 4pm to ask if he could sit in. Inge was excellent with some great solos, which proves just how versatile he is (in case anyone ever doubted). See Inge’s new hit video here. Very different style indeed!
As of this morning there were 5 tickets left for Miranda’s show tonight. You can see if they’re still available here.
For the rest of you, there are plenty of other choices tonight (full music lineup here). Our good friend Allen Estes will be with Dan King & Friends at Cape Ann Brewery starting at 9pm. He’s just finished a new song. Ask him to play it.

There is a "Middle Street" in the middle of most cities and towns in America. This Middle Street is in America’s oldest fishing port, Gloucester, Massachusetts. It’s crowded with churches, municipal buildings and funeral parlors. The street is a conduit into the life of the city. Traveling over wharves, through religious festivals and into the movies transmuting a personal story into a Gloucester story. Middle Street is a chowder of sounds, gestures, syllables, looks and fleeting moments, a nature walk through Gloucester, Massachusetts with Willie Alexander and Henry Ferrini.
Winner: Somerville Film Festival-Best of Festival, 1995.
