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 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 […]
Once again I’m writing from the couch in the teacher’s lounge. I miss having an office. I’m alone now so I can get things done. Have I done anything exciting since my last post? I made up the precalculus midterm. I was a little out of practice and had to recreate some of my methods […]
Yesterday I celebrated my birthday. Considering the heat, doing anything in a timely manner was beyond the call of duty. The real reason it was late was that yesterday there was a concert to go to, Aurora Nealand at Sunny’s in Brooklyn. Why have I never written about Aurora despite the great name? It’s even […]
I’m not dead. I’ve just hit a dead spot in writing. I have to get myself back in the writing habit. I did things the last two days, that helps. My friends Mark and Beth opened a restaurant/music venue, The Porch, in Harlem. Mark and Beth have a canonical order. I never know how that […]
Yesterday was another busy day. It started with going up to Harrison NY in Westchester for therapy. I walked from the train station to the hospital as the stupid Westchester bus runs only once an hour. I of course don’t mind that as I’m trying to walk every day. It was nice seeing my therapist […]
Sorry, no exciting tales of crime and police today. Yesterday was a much more typical day in Wise Madness land; there was music, music, and more music. I will admit that I enjoyed the increased readership. I write for myself, but blogging is a form of communication and requires readers. It’s why I teased it […]
I’m still fighting to get on a proper sleep schedule. I have two cups of coffee in me, so I should have enough focus to write without dozing off zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz That was a joke, but I have dozed off while writing and found pages and pages of single letters repeated from my fingers resting on […]
My plan for yesterday was to see the Stephani, Steph Jenkins backed by Stephie Coleman. Then Kaia Kater posted on Facebook that she needed somebody to merch for her at the New York Guitar Festival. As I so rarely see Kaia and she needed help I changed plans and headed down to Brookfield for the […]
