Oh My Darling

Good morning campers! Last night I went to see Dar Williams at City Winery; life is returning to normal. I’m even getting my commuting mojo back. I wasn’t going to eat there and had a reserved seat, so I forced myself to not plan on getting there an hour early. That takes an effort on […]

I Like Mic

Monday’s adventure was a quest for a working microphone. Starting Sunday night, I got error messages when I plugged mine into the computer. It said that the USB was drawing more power than was available. I tried every USB port on the computer and the same thing happened. I crowdsourced a solution and found two […]

A MEGnifiscent Day.

Wednesday was a major milestone in the return to real life; in the afternoon I went to the Met game and in the evening saw Meg Braun at Rockwood Music Hall and went out to dinner afterward with the gang. That’s a lot of goodness for one day. I love day baseball; we need more […]

This Gemini is a Cancer

Last night I went to Miwa Gemini’s 50th birthday/Album Release concert. This was her first full band show since the plague started. That was worth a trip to Littlefield in Brooklyn to see. This was my third time seeing her and each was a revelation. The first was a porch concert and the second a […]

We Come to Praise Caesar Not to Bury Him

I was going to record Gord’s Gold but there’s a riveter banging out across the street. That is not conducive to recording. It’s also not conducive to writing but at least it doesn’t totally preclude it. Yesterday I went to another Met game, they were playing the Marlins. You might have noticed that I’ve been […]

Blips on the Screen

Why am I starting to blog at 8:56 PM? What the hell was I doing this morning? I didn’t sleep late. I did kill two hours watching Obi-Wan Kenobi and Ms. Marvel. I’m not sure if I can continue to watch Ms. Marvel; it plays more like a Disney Channel teen sitcom, complete with animated […]

For Auld Lang Syne, My Jo,

Should I apologize for not writing yesterday or just accept that I’m finding it difficult to blog every day? Neither; I asked that question instead. I’m exceptionally good at avoidance. It was Friday in June, so I went to the Sunset Singing Circle. This was the first one this year with beautiful weather at our […]

A Grain of Sand

Last night I made the trek down to Prospect Lefferts Gardens in Brooklyn to see Jean Rohe at the Owl. Jean is perhaps may favorite musician and The Owl is a hoot. I should just stop right there; you now know everything you need to know about me. I won’t because you don’t know everything […]

Fireworks and Squirrel

Forgive me My Gentle Readers for I have sinned. It’s been two days since my last entry. Saturday’s adventure was going to the Mets-Phillies game at Citi-Field. I go to many games, but this was unusual for three reasons; it was fireworks night, because it was fireworks night it was crowded so I had to […]

A Quest for Great Music

Yesterday did not start off well, my therapist canceled for the second time in a row. As I can get off on an insanity plea for the next week, I suggest you be very nice to me. I am very trusting that people will understand when I’m joking. Fortunately, my other mental health treatment, live […]
