Wise Madness
A friend commended me for maintaining this blog for over 20 years. I am unhappy as I am missing too many days. That being said I’ll tell a tale of my adventures. Having an extra day helps me to tie up a loose end. On Wednesday I helped my friend David move. We were joined […]
Sorry I’ve been MIA. Now I have a lot to write about. I’ve back to being a live music junky. Monday? What did I do Monday? that was so long ago. I know I went to see Michaela Anne at Rockwood Music Hall Stage 2. There were train issues, so I got there only shortly […]
Last night I went to see Miwa Gemini at Rockwood Music Hall Stage 3. That was easy to write, not so easy to accomplish. The show was at seven and it takes me about fifty minutes to get there so I left a little before six. I would have left more before six if I […]
Last night Dan and I went to see Lúnasa at the Sheen center. Lúnasa is a great Irish band we both love. They were playing with Daoirí (pronounced Derry) Farrell. It’s always difficult to write about the Irish, I have to insert all the accents and explain how to pronounce the names. It’s worth […]
Last night I went to see Youth in a Roman Field at Pete’s Candy Store. I’m making an effort to not bury the lede. No time to do my usual self-flagellation for not posting until it was late. It’s too late for that, so now let’s dive into the epic tale. It was a late […]
I went out and did something fun last night so I will be good and write before I eat. That’s a laugh. Now it’s close to 12 hours later and I finished dinner. Last night I went to see the ethereal Aoife [ee-fuh] O’Donovan and the yare Yasmin Williams. I had to search for an […]
I hate that I’m not writing every day. We talked about that during therapy. My therapist finds it disturbing as do I. I was just good and told myself I had to write before doing the Washington Post Crossword. I have to go shopping today and If I had started on the puzzle, I’d either […]
Yesterday’s agenda: Pick up prescription Walk at least three miles Go to John Platt’s On Your Radar The only part I completed is the last. Today I have to do the walking and pick up my prescriptions. Perhaps I’ll walk to get buy more coffee from Maria’s Coffee. That means actually getting out of the […]
Yesterday’s adventure was traveling north to see the Richard Thompson at Tarrytown Music Hall. I could not afford the tickets but out of the blue my friend Connie bought me one because she knows that he is tied with Rhiannon Giddens as my favorite of favorites. Now that I’m carless it’s a pain to get […]
I’m back to blogging, did you miss me? There was a series of titles I was going to use but have no forgotten them all. I’ll just attempt a brief recap of this year’s Thanksgiving which like all Thanksgivings with the Van Mercs, was the best Thanksgiving ever. Last you heard from me I was […]
