Wise Madness
Time to write an archetypal Wise Madness, one about concerts. I think those are my most popular entries. On Friday I saw Carolann Solebello joined by special guest Meg Braun at Rockwood Music Hall. Carolann and Meg are both Chicks with Dip which guaranteed that this would be a gathering of the tribe, Carolann plays […]
Time to try and start daily blogging again. I probably won’t succeed but I definitely won’t if I don’t try. Yesterday I went to the Hudson West Folk Festival. I’m on the advisory board and have been volunteering there since it started. I work the merch most of the day but get relief to go […]
Enough has happened to inspire me to write my first blog in six months. To be honest it’s mainly because I like the title. I had an eventful Thanksgiving. As my gentle readers know, every Thanksgiving I make a pilgrimage to Massachusetts to visit my once a year family. This year my friends decided to […]
Good evening America and all the ships at sea. This weekend was a Gordon Special, all about me being me. On Saturday I wrote the script for this week’s Gord’s Gold. That’s not the special part. The evening was special, Carolann Solebello, Tina Vero, and Dave Murphy played the PostCrypt Coffeehouse, in the bowels of […]
Sorry I haven’t been writing. I’ve been either busy or tired. I’ve had some commuting hell. On Monday I went to the Knick game, they lost, but that’s not the point. The point is that I leave the game after my theoretical bed time. I’m never actually in bed then but that’s my goal. If […]
Yesterday I went on a musical extra-inning double-header. In the afternoon I saw Lohengrin with Carey, Barbara, and Charles. Do all of my Gentle Readers know that I love opera and especially love Wagner? It has not been an active part of my life for a while but my love for it never goes on […]
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 […]
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 […]
On Thursday night I saw Dar’s annual Christmas week show at the Bell House. Thanks to the plague this is the first one in three years. Slowly my traditions return. COVID-19 isn’t over, but life goes on. It’s all about balancing risks and rewards. How did I balance? I went but wore an N95 mask […]
I keep saying that I’m going to get back to posting regularly and I keep breaking that promise. I apologize. Today I clearly have the time, the energy, and things to write about; that is enough to motivate me. This is spirit week at school, each day has its own theme. Monday was Pajama Day […]
