I’m writing this the Megabus to Boston. The promised Wi-Fi is nonexistent. Fortunately, since the last time this happened to me my phone plan includes hotspots. None of that helps with being stuck in traffic. The bus left 34th street and 11th avenue at 3:30. An hour and a half later we just crossed under […]
Wow, I’m writing this when I’m supposed to, in the morning. Maybe this is a harbinger of things to come. Now if I can get back to going to sleep earlier so I’m rested when I wake up. I just closed my eyes and almost fell asleep. I could make coffee but once I do […]
I saw two concerts the last two nights, Dar Williams with Crys Matthews on Thursday and the Murphy Beds with Ivan Goff on Saturday. By skipping yesterday, I now can’t do either show justice, especially when I have personal things to discuss too. I’m drinking my second perfect cup of coffee as I write, that […]
I wimped out yesterday, I did not go to the Jack Hardy Lungs Harvest Arts Festival? So many of my friends and favorites played: Kathryn Bloss Charles Nolan Sharon Goldman Bev Grant Ina May Well Carolann Solebello Paul Sachs David Massengill Those names should all be familiar to My Gentle Readers. There were a few […]
I have more time today than I planned. I was going to have my therapy in person but 95º weather argues against walking five miles in the middle of the day. I’ll do it by phone today. Ugh, my next one is at 9:30 AM. I’ll have to get up early if I want to […]
Yesterday I did two things that I always say I need to do more of, see live classical music and hang out with Erika. We went to see The Mostly Mozart Festival at Damrosch Park. That’s the park and bandshell in Lincoln Center. It was part of the Restart Stages, referring to the restart of […]
Live music’s back and Gordon got it. Yesterday was as Gordon a day as you can have; there is even an idiot story. The Kennedys did their first in person show in 16 months so I was there even though getting there and home again involved walking 7 miles. The show was at Rye Town […]
Yesterday morning when I wrote I had anxiety and depression. That followed a happy day celebrating my birthday with a good friend and Junior’s cheesecake. I spent my birthday going to the gastroenterologist and the anxiety and depression are gone. No, the GI doc didn’t fix my psyche. Therapy did. I now look back and […]
Hallelujah! Last night I got another important part of my life back, my first show since COVID-19 at my home-away-from-home, Rockwood Music Hall. You can tell Rockwood is important, it gets its own macro. The artists were, Michael Daves, Tony Trischka, and Bruce Molsky; I’m starting off with Bluegrass and Old Timey. It was a […]
I had an eventful day, let’s see what I can remember, I walked 6 miles, an idiot story that involved blood being spilled, an unpleasant encounter with the police, hit subway delays, and a great Met game. I end with a eulogy for a friend. That was my day. I guess I’m finished writing. Oh, […]
