A Capella That Doesn’t Suck

I’m still having difficulty writing. River me to and their wish is my command. I’m not going to watch Ahsoka till I finish. River has a special interest in this entry, and we went to see Pentatonix together on Sunday night. I didn’t know much about the group though I had heard good things. River […]

Great Day For a Baseball Season; Lets Play Two

Yesterday was the best day of the year, Opening Day of the baseball season. Like Annie in Bull Durham I worship at the Church of Baseball. I made sure to get home before first pitch. I had the TV on when they announced not just the starting lineups but the subs. This is all part […]

Uncommon Ground

My streak of exceptional music continued last night; I saw Kaia Kater at Common Ground Coffeehouse in Dobbs Ferry. My official position there is “Cute Merch Guy;” make sure to not forget the “Cute.” Thanks to another volunteer, Elana, this is an easy place for me to get to; I take the MetroNorth from the […]

Katie’s Lobster Lawyer

Saturday night I went to a fantastic show, Katie Martucci (marr-too-chee) and Akie Bermiss (burr-meese). I wanted to make that the lede before I explained why I haven’t been writing. Part of it was being busy but part was a bedeviled computer. It is now in the shop getting a new keyboard. Part of it […]

Raquel in a Roman Field

I took yesterday off from everything I didn’t get dressed. The biggest effort I made all day was making hot dogs and fries in the air fryer for dinner. No, that’s the second biggest effort, the biggest was attempting to make an omelet in the air fryer. I cooked it in a cake pan. It […]

Out of the Gas Range and into the Air Fryer

I don’t write and things happen. Let’s set the wayback machine to February 14, 2023, the place Rockwood Music Hall Stage 3. Hey Mr. Peabody, why then? That’s when John Platt presented the most recent edition of On Your Radar Sherman. I am still obsessed with 60-year-old cartoons.  I have a routine now for OYR […]

Fine Jew

Last night I saw Tracy Grammer and Jim Henry give an amazing concert. Shame on me for waiting until 9:46 PM the next day to write about it. I have an excuse to not write it in the morning but that’s it. They played at the Troubadour Acoustic Concert Series  in Deep Dark New Jersey, […]

Indulgences

I have so much to write about and so little time. I might break this up into four entries; I have very little time now, so it will be the weekend’s vibe. This was perhaps the most me weekend since the pandemic started. I saw three concerts, hugged some of my favorite people, and ate […]

Down to the River to Pray

Most weeks when I’m teaching, I finish recording Gord’s Gold on Sunday morning. Here I am with all this extra free time, and I am only 40% done at 6:00 PM on Tuesday. I took my mic out this morning to record and simultaneously they started construction across the street. I managed to get that […]

Meet “Meet John Doe”

I have a week off from school that means I should be blogging daily. Let’s see if I will. I’m going through the nominees for my most exciting albums of 2022 edition of Gord’s Gold. I decided that’s the way to phrase it, the albums that excited me the most. That fits in with my […]
