Wise Madness
Greetings music lovers; that’s John Platt’s signature phrase and last night was John Platt’s On Your Radar so I’m using it. I’m debating continuing welcoming My Gentle Listeners on Gord’s Gold. I will never abandon My Gentle Readers. Later last night, 11 PM EST, Gord’s Gold was live on Folk Music Notebook. The archive at […]
I started to write an hour ago. I was going to say how I am finally getting through a day without feeling sleepy, then I fell asleep. You have to appreciate the irony. Is this not a coincidence? Was it thinking about that brought on the drowsiness? I suspect it was. I’ve been asking artists […]
I’m not dead! Sorry I haven’t posted. I’m apologize the most to myself. This has not been good selfcare. I have spent so much of the last few days sleeping. I’m going to have to discuss this with my psychiatrist. Is it my meds? It doesn’t feel like it. I had med related sleepiness and […]
I’ve been starting to write for the last two hours. Every time I start I put on some new music I received and then get distracted. Now that people are sending me music every day I’ll have to get better at my musical time management. I very much want to make a time signature joke […]
Today I’m going to write about the best thing in the world, Love? No. Health? No. Music? No. Family? Try again. Come on this is easy. That’s right, chocolate. Yesterday was Skyler and Shirley’s annual chocolate party. They appreciate chocolate; when they got married neither one of them wanted to change their last name so […]
I didn’t post yesterday and did not have a good excuse. I have plenty to do today but I will write anyway. It’s being constructive as a form of procrastination. I know I’m not the only one that does that. How many of you have cleaned your house as a way of avoiding another chore? […]
I got my first dose of vaccine! It was the puhfizer. My appointment was for 9:45 which meant I could wake up my usual time, 8:00 but couldn’t relax as much as usual. I didn’t eat or make coffee. I was not able to arrange for a ride from Medicaid, so I walked. Taking a […]
I have so much to do so of course I’m going to blog. The fact that I don’t know what I’m going to write about won’t stop me. I won’t bury the lede, I’m getting my COVID-19 vaccine tomorrow. I became eligible on February 15. I read that I could make appointments starting on the […]
Welcome to the first ever Folk Unlocked the Folk Alliance International (FAI) conference, edition of Wise Madness. I’ve been going to the NERFA (Northeast Regional Folk Alliance) conference since 2011, it’s an essential part of my year. That’s always held within a few miles from New York. FAI is always in outlandish places like Memphis, […]
I need to go shopping and it’s far easier on Sundays, as the bus stops closer to my house, but I’m starting to suspect that there is no shopping trip in today’s future. I’m far too comfy. We’ll see how I feel after The Kennedys weekly live stream. Rediscovering my soled slipper socks has made […]
