I’ve been wasting my time for two days, it’s time to write. What exciting has gone on in the last two days? I got to sit backstage at the streaming version John Platt’s On Your Radar Tuesday night. I now I have to cut the videos into individual songs so I can post them on […]

Sorry I’ve been MIA the last few days. I find that I have the same anxiety holding me back here as in recording Gord’s Gold, it’s choosing the subject matter. There are so many musicians I love; how do I single one out? There’s so much on my mind, how do I decided which one […]

Silly Putty
Socially isolating makes blogging difficult. I used to write about what I did when I went out. Now I never go out except to go shopping. What am I left with? I tell you who I spoke to on the phone but that’s a lot more fun to do that to read about. That’s especially […]
I’m in an odd emotional space. I’ve been angry at much of what I’m hearing from people. I’m not talking about the news; I’m talking social media. It’s not all political. As I’ve said I don’t like being angry. I try to calm myself. I remind myself that it’s not my job to correct everyone […]
As the title shows today’s topic is compare and contrast House of Hamill and poutine. That saves me from correcting the 847 misunderstandings of medicine and economics I’ve read on FB this morning. I’m resisting even giving one liners, though many can be covered by, “I don’t think that word means what you think it […]

Restless
I disappointed myself yesterday. I had three things to do, one was very important; Go to Social Security for a new card, go food shopping, and see The Restless Age at Rockwood. I left the house so late that I thought I might have to sacrifice the concert. Nope, I left so late that the […]
I was going to go shopping yesterday but couldn’t face the rain. My mother would say, “What? Your made of sugar?” I have double plans for today and tomorrow, so I don’t know what I’ll do. Today I’m going to the New York Botanical Garden Train Show with Allison and Joe and then to my […]
Yesterday my top albums of 2019 show aired on Folk Music Notebook. This was my longest foray into solo radio, an hour and a half. I found it much easier doing live radio with Brian. Partially it was having Brian around, when I was lost as to what to say I’d insult Brian, or he […]

It’s Not About The Dreidel
Oh great, I promised to write about Chanukah today. That’s not fun? Why did I do that? Oh right, I have nothing to write about today and it’s important. Chanukah is not important as a holiday, but it teaches important lessons. I’m not talking about lighting the menorah or presents or even chocolate gelt. I […]
I didn’t blog yesterday and waited until almost three to start today? What’s up with me? Let’s blame the sleep apnea. In this case that’s legit; sleep apnea and procrastination. I knew that Ron Olesko wanted to air my top album of 2019 show on Folk Music Notebook some time between Christmas and New Year’s. […]
