Postcards from Ocean Grove: Tall Sail Schooner off our shores in 1906.
Posted in Music: Jazz on Blogfinger, Ocean Grove history, Ocean Grove history by Rich Amole, Postcards From Ocean Grove, tagged postcards from Ocean Grove, Schooner off the Ocean Grove beach on August 7, 2021|
By Rich Amole, Blogfinger staff historian/researcher.
This is a postcard image of a tall sail schooner with a bit of a breeze hitting its sails off the Grove’s beach—- 108 years ago in 1906.
Not much on text back then— just a simple “Greetings from Ocean Grove” which still holds up today, not so much for that schooner………..
COLEMAN HAWKINS (tenor sax) From a jazz planet far, far away–contemplates the passage of time with “What a Difference a Day Makes”
What a difference a day makes
There’s a rainbow before me
Skies above can’t be stormy
Since that moment of bliss, that thrilling kiss
It’s heaven when you find romance on your menu
What a difference a day makes
And the difference is you
There’s a rainbow before me
Skies above can’t be stormy
Since that moment of bliss, that thrilling kiss
It’s heaven when you find romance on your menu
What a difference a day makes
And the difference is you
Pretty as a picture

“Younger Than Springtime” is from South Pacific by Rodgers and Hammerstein.
By Frank Sinatra:
Younger than springtime are you Softer than starlight are you Warmer than winds of June Is the gentle love you give me Gayer than laughter are you Sweeter than music are you Sunlight and moon beams Heaven and earth are you to me.

On a beautiful September 4 morning, there were just a few scattered walkers, joggers, bikers and dogs tugging on leashes. The beach was totally empty. Lifeguard stands were standing together in a bunch.
Vicky Redfern is in town to sign papers for her new OG year-round home. She was wondering if there is anything to do here in the winter. Anybody want to comment on that? There are 12 comments below which are of interest.
My suggestion would be to take tango lessons. Here’s Gato Barbieri from “The Last Tango in Paris:”

Postcard of the North End Hotel in Ocean Grove, 1951, submitted by Rich Amole, Blogfinger historian
Paul:
It seems that the North End Hotel Pool photo has awakened almost 10 responses. Let me throw a postcard (being sold on ebay) made from a painting done in 1951 of the Hotel showing a bit of water bordering the lower rooms of the hotel. Anyone want to jump in on this and tell us where or what that water is doing there?
