I always seem to start by apologizing for not writing. The problem is that the more time I have to write the less I have to write about. I just came up with two thoughts; I can write about music I don’t hear live, and I can write about current events. Writing about my personal […]
Category: Gord’s Gold
This blog accompanies tonight’s edition of Gord’s Gold on Folk Music Notebook. It’s my annual list of favorite albums of the year. This is not a top ten list. This is an hour’s worth of radio list. As a bonus there is also my favorite EP and single of the year. If you tune in […]
I’m going to post my favorite albums of the year list tonight at 9 PM to coincide with my Favorites of 2021 show on Folk Music Notebook. Set your alarms now because you don’t want to miss it. In light of that I’m going to do something strange today, link to a blog from eight […]
Yesterday was Tuesday and I finally did what I plan on doing every Tuesday, I went to the movies. Why? I have an AMC gift card and they give a discount on Tuesdays. They also give discounts for seniors and matinees. Even with the service fee it only cost $8.25. Given Omicron surge I had […]

J-E-T-S Jets! Jets! Jets!
Yesterday I did something I haven’t done in years; I went to a football game, Jets vs Jaguars. The Jets are awful. The Jags are awful. I’m not a big football fan. Why did I go? To hang out with Alan and give myself street cred as an American male. It took four trains to […]
Whee Festivus everyone. As I just wrote an old friend I often celebrated with, this has been a very Christmassy Festivus, even though I didn’t carol or see Robinson and Rohe’s Longest Winter show. In lieu of caroling Katherine and I met at the Union Square Holiday Market. Quality time with friends and family is […]
The days of no effort COVID-19 testing are no more. Till now I just stopped by the booth by Krispy Kreme or Aldi and spent perhaps five minutes getting tested. Now as Jimmy Durante said, “Everybody wants to get into the act.” When I got to my place on Fordham Plaza it took 52 minutes […]
Yesterday’s adventure was walking to and from Aldi. That’s not that exciting but I did walk 4.42 miles and burned 480 calories. The hill coming home with all my groceries is the killer. It’s 157 feet high. What’s my idiot story? I know I had an idiot story. I guess that my idiot story is […]
The Chronoklepts are at it again. These notorious times thieves stole all of yesterday and a great deal of today. Why didn’t I blog yesterday? Why am I not writing until 2:48 PM today when I still have to go shopping? The Chronoklepts. I need a Chronoklept warning system and an effective weapon to use […]
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 […]
