On Your Corporal O’Reilly

Yesterday was the second Tuesday of the month and that means John Platt’s On Your Radar. I didn’t discover any new music, why? I’m knew all the performers, Robinson & Rohe, Mosa, and Fred Arcoleo. I have a commuting idiot story, I had to meet Carey before the show at Penn Station. That’s convenient as […]

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 […]

On the Wrong Track

I expected to have more to write about today, but last night’s plans were waylaid by the MTA. Molsky’s Mountain Drifters played at Jenkins House Concerts on the upper west side. I was looking forward to seeing Bruce Molsky and it’s been way to long since I’ve seen the Jenkins clan. Somebody put a curse […]

Thankful for Thanksgiving

Dateline Van Merc Hill: I’m posting from the couch at Emily’s house, sitting with her daughter Maggie, watching the Macy’s Day Parade. Yes, I used the abridged commercial name for the parade. Deal with it. The only part I paid attention to was Hadestown. I pointed out Liam to the girls, there are four of […]

Mamma Mya! Mamma Mya! Mamma Mya Let Me Go!

I usually decry those people that complain that some event is so tradition shattering that it portends the end of civilization. The only thing that doesn’t change, is that there is always change, or so I thought. But I was wrong, there is a tradition that’s sacred to me and shattering it does portend the […]

Shouldn’t it be On Your Sonar?

Yesterday was the second Tuesday of the month and that means John Platt’s On Your Radar. The performers were Our Band, Terry Klein, and Kate Callahan. I’m being good today and including all the links. I’ve been slacking off and only giving links when I have macros to insert them. It was not just the […]

Hot Pizza for Dinner

Yesterday I finally had the time to set up my new computer, or at least to start setting up my computer. I have all my music in the cloud and even though I can see the files and even play them directly from Windows Explorer I can’t play them on my music players. When I […]

Witness for the Prosecution

Last night I went to a training session to be an Elizabeth Warren volunteer. You’ll be hearing a lot more about Liz on Wise Madness and my Facebook and Instagram accounts. Notice that she’s now Liz; she’s gone straight from a last name to a nickname. I’m more comfortable supporting Liz than Warren especially as […]

Great Day for a Concert; Let’s Hear Two!

Last night I had a musical doubleheader. Months ago Emily Mure announced the date for her EP release, September 12. Then Joe Iadanza told me the date for his album release, September 12. I thought I had something for that date but wasn’t sure what. Then I saw it was Emily’s EP release and was […]

No Sim City

I didn’t do much yesterday so I’m tempted to skip writing. What I did do was go to therapy so I will work on not giving into temptation. That isn’t what we discussed in therapy. It was a rough session; I’m having some problems that I don’t want to discuss here. That makes writing tougher. […]
