Falcon Ridge: Endgame

It’s time to move on to Saturday night at Falcon Ridge. Sorry that this has taken me so long. Because of the rain the entire Saturday night set was moved later. I left after Tony Trischka’s set. On the way back to camp I ran into Allison. I knew that her camp, Stupid Americans was […]

Falcon Ridge Part II: The Attack of the Clones

Back to Falcon Ridge. We pick up our story on Friday, the first day of Main Stage music. In the afternoon we had the scaled down Emerging Artists Showcase. I am not going to do a run down of all the artists. I’m still trying to make this just the highlights of the highlights. My […]

Falcon Ridge Part 1

Kathy wants me to write my Falcon Ridge entry and her wish is my command. I am not going to give my usual multipart discourse into every detail of the festival. I’m still easing myself back into writing. I’ll write today until I’ve had enough and see if there is anything left to say later. […]

Kentucky Comes to Greenwich Village

Enough putting off writing. River has shamed me by writing their Falcon Ridge blog, This is My Home. I am going to put off writing my entry about Falcon Ridge as I did something worth writing about last night. I went to see Nora Brown, Sarah Kate Morgan, and John Haywood at Café Wha?. How […]

Falcon Flats Part 1

I’m back from Falcon Ridge. I was too tired to write yesterday now I’m pressed for time but will do my best. The adventure started before I left home. My ride had a family emergency and suddenly there was no way to get to Falcon Ridge and to make it worse he has my camping […]

We Come to Praise Caesar Not to Bury Him

I was going to record Gord’s Gold but there’s a riveter banging out across the street. That is not conducive to recording. It’s also not conducive to writing but at least it doesn’t totally preclude it. Yesterday I went to another Met game, they were playing the Marlins. You might have noticed that I’ve been […]

The Christine and Deirdre Saga

I’m writing this the Megabus to Boston. The promised Wi-Fi is nonexistent. Fortunately, since the last time this happened to me my phone plan includes hotspots. None of that helps with being stuck in traffic. The bus left 34th street and 11th avenue at 3:30. An hour and a half later we just crossed under […]

This should be the greatest edition of Wise Madness ever! Why? I’ve had not my usual two cups but four cups of coffee. After six you can move things with your mind. After eight travel through space and time, after 10 you gain the powers of a god. Is this news to anybody? This should […]

Bus Ride Revelation

I’m listening to We’re About 9 now so I should say, I’m “Writing Again.” I wonder what fraction of My Gentle Readers get that? There was a time it would have been most of them. I’ll explain it before finish. What’s the excitement since I last wrote? My therapy was canceled today, and I couldn’t […]
