Moor or Less

I’m getting better at getting out and doing things that aren’t music, my safe space. Last night Katherine and I went to see Othello in Bryant Park. I love their picnic event series. There are chairs on the lawn to the sides of the stage but they provide blankets for those that want to sit […]

Friends, Music, and Food, aka The Usual

I have so much catching up to do that I feel intimidated about starting to blog. If I don’t I’ll fall further behind and be even more intimidated. At least I’m recognizing that and writing. Now if I could only do that about important things. Sorry for the short shrift I’m going to have to […]

Birthday Dayenu

I celebrated my birthday on Thursday but yesterday was the actual date. I spent it doing nothing special and that was by design. I took it easy, though not as easy as I’m spending today. It was Friday so the day started with an expedition to Harrison to see my therapist. It was beastly hot […]

The End of America at the End of the Day

Bienvenue à mes doux Lecteurs. I’m listening to Le Vent du Nord as I write and Google Translate doesn’t have Quebecois. I might have to turn this off or the entire blog will want to be in French. Le Vent du Nord is stupid good. Let’s see if I can get this written even with […]

General Hospital

Now for the story of my hospitalization. I really should have taken notes; the timeline in my head does not quite work out. I don’t plan on this being a play by play so that shouldn’t be that much of a problem. When I was back in my room I was hooked up all over […]

No Fuss and Feathers or Hell

I went to see No Fuss and Feathers at Spiral Sounds Concerts last night so I have something to write about. Whew. Vamping was getting tough. Two entries ago I told you how I lost one of my Mets caps less than three weeks into the season. What I forgot to tell you is that […]

Uh-Nay-Iss

This is the easiest kind of Wise Madness entry to write; last night I went to see Anaïs Mitchell at Rockwood Music Hall. If I can’t write about a friend, I just put on my list of great songwriters, performing at my home away from home, with friends in the audience, I should quit blogging. […]

You Can’t Tell the Players Without a Program

Today’s edition of Wise Madness is about seeing the Anna/Kate Band. Now that I got the attention grabbing lede out of the way I can work my way up to it in my round-about manner. I’m getting a late start today. I woke up my usual time, went to my computer, and within 20 minutes […]

Erin and the Emerald Isle (nothing to do with Ireland)

I spent yesterday first as an IT savior and then seeing Emerald Rae and Jess Clinton. That was followed by a re-enactment of the Odyssey on the New York City subway.
