Wise Madness
Gord’s Gold 1: Welcome My Gentle Listeners to the Gord’s Gold Halloween show, dedicated to ghoulies and ghosties, and long-leggedy beasties And things that go bump in the night. The special opening music was a selection from Tchaikovsky’s Sérénade mélancolique, played by the great thereminist, Clara Rockmore. She was the aunt of my late friend, […]
Gord’s Gold 1: Welcome My Gentle Listeners. My friend Joy is writing her thesis and posted this on Facebook. This is the song I need right now. I am listening to Stand in the River: by Moira Smiley and Voco on repeat while writing writing writing. As the song is on my songs to play […]
Gord’s Gold 1: Welcome my Gentle Listener. There’s no artist that I’m more excited about that Muireann Bradley. You’ve heard of an actor who you’d pay to read the phone book? That’s how I feel about Muireann, I’ll even play her singing a Jackson Browne song, These Days. My dislike of Jackson Brown sometimes makes […]
Welcome My Gentle Readers, I’m going to try blogging again. It will be different now. I’m not going to try and blog every day and I’m going to mainly blog about music. Think of it as Wise Madness Presents Gord’s Gold. Some of you might know me from Gord’s Gold, to those people, Welcome My […]
Last night I went to the best concerts of my life, it was so great that it overcame my lethargy and energized me to write. The artist was Molly Tuttle and Golden Highway. I won tickets from WFUV. I invited Ellen to go with me. The show was at Tarrytown Music Hall. I have not […]
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 […]
It’s time to get back to writing. I had a bout of COVID-19 but that might be more of an excuse for not writing than a reason. It’s hard writing every day. How did I do it for 20 years? My blogging muscles were strong from use. I must make the strong again. I’m not […]
Last night I had a musical doubleheader John Platt’s On Your Radar and Barnaby Bright, both at the Bitter End. It’s tough for me to write about On Your Radar as I do the social media for the series so I’m going right to Barnaby Bright. They are not just favorites, but they are one […]
It took an adventure to get me to write again. Last night I went to see the fabulous House of Hamill in Woodbridge New Jersey. Woodbridge is not close. I live in the Northern Bronx, Woodbridge is in New Jersey, on the other side of the Hudson, due west of the southern tip of Staten […]
