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 […]

From Sickbed to NERFA

I’ve had health issues the last few days, a Crohn’s attack and a cold at the same time. This was a true Crohn’s attack, inflammation, not an obstruction caused by scarring from previous attacks. The symptoms are hard to describe; it’s not painful; more than anything it’s enervating. I spend most of my time drifting […]

Jet Crash

I’m all over my Crohn’s attack but it messed with my sleep cycle. After sleeping all weekend last night, I couldn’t get to sleep, so I ended up sleeping until noon. On the bright side I did get to watch the middle part of one of my favorite Classic Doctor Who serials, The Hand of […]

Rose of Sharon

My therapist canceled yesterday which meant finding other ways to care for my mental health. Good thing I already had one planned, seeing Sharon Goldman at Free Music Fridays at the American Folk Art Museum. When I taught a few blocks away I was a regular at the series. It’s still convenient and as Lara […]

Dazed and Infused

Facebook exposes me to things that I wouldn’t otherwise experience. Like everyone else in the world I live in a bubble, I interact with a limited number of people and they are far from a random sampling. On Facebook I see posts from people I wouldn’t talk to and see otherwise hidden sides of people […]

Ivers Got a Secret

I finally finished writing about Falcon Ridge so I can now move on to other things. After spending six days surrounded by friends I have been almost totally isolated since then. I spoke to Bri on the phone once and saw my therapist yesterday. I had enough Falcon Ridge glow that I didn’t feel that […]

Today I finally wrap up writing about Falcon Ridge. Good thing as I’m going stir crazy at home doing nothing to write about. It’s been a weird week. I’ve done nothing and I’ve seen no one. It’s been me and the cats along with some phone calls from Bri. Sunday morning at Falcon Ridge was […]

Fire in the Streets

I’m off to the New Bedford Folk Festival today. Too bad my digestive system is unhappy. It’s an obstruction from the scar tissue in my small intestine. This time I didn’t eat anything stupid. I’m just paying for a lifetime of Crohn’s disease. All the years I had no insurance and as off meds did […]
