Wise Madness
Today is a rare staying at school later than I have to update. Why? I could go home stay there for an hour, then turn around but I decided instead that I’ll stay at school, have a leisurely dinner out, then go see Anna Dagmar conduct at Hunter college. I might take a nap while […]
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 […]
I had philosophical points to make but I’m going to just talk about good things today. It’s a little cool, 58º but the sun is shining bright and I’m going to my first Met game of the season. We can always find bad things going on, there are always bad things going on, but we […]
Yesterday I did two things that I always say I need to do more of, see live classical music and hang out with Erika. We went to see The Mostly Mozart Festival at Damrosch Park. That’s the park and bandshell in Lincoln Center. It was part of the Restart Stages, referring to the restart of […]
I’m starting my writing to the Carmen Fantasy of Pablo de Sarasate. How does that work? It’s based on Bizet’s Carmen? Does copyright not apply? That’s not why I mentioned it. It’s just that I love it. I’m all for the intellectual and prefer Wagner but you have to work to not love Carmen; the […]
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 have something to write about today so of course I slept late and couldn’t write until the afternoon. TW: This is going to be a happy entry. Last night I went to see Renaissance with Carey. I don’t usually see legacy acts; Renaissance’s hay day was the 1970s. There is just one member of […]
I’m racing against the clock I have 35 minutes until the Met game starts. I have to watch that on a TV in another room where using my computer is more difficult and I don’t want to be distracted. Yesterday was a busy day, not good when racing the blogging clock. I might have to […]
I was too busy to write yesterday, that means I have a lot of catching up to do. Will I succeed? Will I have the energy to get up and find the program that would help me write about yesterday? These pages will tell. On Saturday night I trekked down to the Brooklyn Music Shop […]
Last night I went to see Deni Bonet (den-ee bo-nay) for the first time since her Carnegie Hall performance on February 24. This might be the longest stretch without seeing her since the first time, Christmas Eve 2001. Deni thought it was later than that but my suspicion was right. No! Even I was too […]
