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 […]
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 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 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 […]
Am I making a mistake? Now that I’m back to blogging people are going to begin to expect it. At least today is easy, I did something fun yesterday, I went to see Charming Disaster at a new venue, Umbra in Bushwick. Umbra means shadow so it’s an appropriate place for a Goth Folk band […]
Today marks the return of live music sags to Wise Madness; for many, this is what Wise Madness is about. Last night was special because I saw The Rainbow Girls for only the third time and the first time indoors. If you listen to my radio show Gord’s Gold, you’ll know that they are one […]
Hi My Gentle Readers, it’s been a while. I’m not sure if I can still do this but I’ll give it a try. I’m not going to write about a great concert I went to, or my adventure with my neighbor that got hostile when I asked him to not smoke in the hall, or […]
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 […]
