I’ve procrastinated enough, time for a report on my birthday. Let’s start with breakfast. I wasn’t sure of what treat to make myself then Becky Bliss sent me birthday wishes that included a peanut butter omelet. That’s what I ate. Becky didn’t give me the omelet; she gave me the idea. I haven’t had that […]

A rare nighttime edition of Wise Madness. This is tough as I’m listening to Tracy Grammer and Jim Henry do a Dave Carter tribute. If you want to call Dave the greatest songwriter of his generation I’ll agree. If you want to call him the greatest song writer ever I won’t argue. Everyone thinks of […]
I’ve been wasting my time for two days, it’s time to write. What exciting has gone on in the last two days? I got to sit backstage at the streaming version John Platt’s On Your Radar Tuesday night. I now I have to cut the videos into individual songs so I can post them on […]
I should have written this two hour ago, better late than never. I had another good day yesterday. Not as exciting as Sunday when I heard live music and at a restaurant with a friend. Yesterday’s accomplishments were sitting in for Tragedy Ann’s John Platt’s On Your Radar tech rehearsal. Rob Hinkal directs the show. […]
Yesterday I had my best day in four months and it pretty much feels like the best day ever. I’m like a sailor on shore leave but instead of indulging in booze, women, and tattoos, I went for music, friends, and Thai food. Albeit the friend I spent the most time with is a woman, […]

Sorry I’ve been MIA the last few days. I find that I have the same anxiety holding me back here as in recording Gord’s Gold, it’s choosing the subject matter. There are so many musicians I love; how do I single one out? There’s so much on my mind, how do I decided which one […]
Today I took some tests that I didn’t study for, the COVID-19 test and the COVID-19 anti-body test. This is to determine if I am now, or ever have been, a member of the COVID-19 party. Maybe I’m a fellow traveler as I have friends that tested positive. I haven’t gotten tested until now because […]

I’m starting my writing to the Carmen Fantasy of Pablo de Sarasate. How does that work? It’s based on Bizet’s Carmen? Does copyright not apply? That’s not why I mentioned it. It’s just that I love it. I’m all for the intellectual and prefer Wagner but you have to work to not love Carmen; the […]

It’s a Shame
I didn’t write yesterday; that always makes me feel bad. Blogger is part of my self-image. Before I was a blogger I was a thinker. Blogging is just writing down my thoughts. The problem comes when I don’t want to share my thoughts. I’ve fallen back into my “Why can’t people learn to think!” mode. […]
Happy Independence Day! Like half my friends I started celebrating a day early by watching Hamilton. It’s as good a celebration of America as there is. Want to say something good about America? It produced Lin-Manuel Miranda. He combines serious history, with brilliant music. People notice the rap, but there’s so much more. There are […]
