I Love War (Sunny)

On Tuesday night I saw Sunny War at a WFUV marquee show at the City Winery Loft. Sorry, I’ve fallen way behind in my blogging again. I’ve fallen behind in my life. Today I have to write this and create next week’s Gord’s Gold from scratch. Usually by Saturday all I have to do is […]

Last night I saw Tracy Grammer and Jim Henry give an amazing concert. Shame on me for waiting until 9:46 PM the next day to write about it. I have an excuse to not write it in the morning but that’s it. They played at the Troubadour Acoustic Concert Series  in Deep Dark New Jersey, […]

Today I’m finally going to finish writing about seeing Kittel & Co. and Maeve Gilchrist on Saturday night; yes, ancient history. We’ll start with a recap, sorry there’s no “skip recap” option. On Saturday Dan and I went to see Alkemie on the upper East side. That ended around 4:30. The next stop on our […]

Rachael & Vilray Does Not Rhyme With Till Day

We have returned to the Golden Age of Wise Madness; Missing a day is unusual for me and I’m writing about live music; both are exceptionally good for my mental health. I’ll start by writing about Rachael & Vilray. They did a WFUV Marquee member show Tuesday night at Rockwood Music Hall Stage 2. I’m […]

Indulgences

I have so much to write about and so little time. I might break this up into four entries; I have very little time now, so it will be the weekend’s vibe. This was perhaps the most me weekend since the pandemic started. I saw three concerts, hugged some of my favorite people, and ate […]

Dateline: Teacher’s Lounge I seem to have lost my man cave. One of the administrators has started using it as her office. Let’s see if I can write while two teachers are talking. To help I have started a deep dive into progressive rock. My co-teacher was explaining composition of functions and said you work […]

The Horror of Customer Service

Sit back and listen to a tale that will chill your heart, The Horror of Customer Service. You might remember that I cracked the screen of my old phone and as it cost almost as much to fix as to get a new phone, I opted for the latter. I jumped from a Galaxy 10 […]

Down to the River to Pray

Most weeks when I’m teaching, I finish recording Gord’s Gold on Sunday morning. Here I am with all this extra free time, and I am only 40% done at 6:00 PM on Tuesday. I took my mic out this morning to record and simultaneously they started construction across the street. I managed to get that […]

Sling Shot

I have a good excuse for not writing yesterday, I hurt myself. On Wednesday I stopped at Aldi on the way home. For the second time I missed my st0p. It’s in the Bronx but way south of my house and I get there much faster than my brain has been trained to look where […]
