Last night I had a musical doubleheader. Months ago Emily Mure announced the date for her EP release, September 12. Then Joe Iadanza told me the date for his album release, September 12. I thought I had something for that date but wasn’t sure what. Then I saw it was Emily’s EP release and was […]

I gave myself three homework assignments yesterday, take a walk, record an edition of Gord’s Gold for Folk Music Notebook and read an honest-to-god book printed on honest-to-god paper. I didn’t take the walk, the weather was bad, but I did the other two. The artist I covered was Rod Picott. He has a new […]
I have things to write about! I went out last night! I talked to friends! My totally involuntary August hiatus is sort of over. It’s not as my schedule is still light. At least today I don’t have to struggle to find something to write. Last night I went to Rockwood Music HallStage 3 for […]
I scared myself, I forgot what I did yesterday. Now I remember so I can blog. I went to see Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. By coincidence the night before I watched his Inglourious Basterds; I had a Tarantino double feature. When you watch a Tarantino film you know you are going […]
Facebook exposes me to things that I wouldn’t otherwise experience. Like everyone else in the world I live in a bubble, I interact with a limited number of people and they are far from a random sampling. On Facebook I see posts from people I wouldn’t talk to and see otherwise hidden sides of people […]
Today I finally wrap up writing about Falcon Ridge. Good thing as I’m going stir crazy at home doing nothing to write about. It’s been a weird week. I’ve done nothing and I’ve seen no one. It’s been me and the cats along with some phone calls from Bri. Sunday morning at Falcon Ridge was […]
The Falcon Ridge Saga continues. Good thing I’m not doing anything I need to write about. I’m up to Friday night, technically Saturday morning. The day should start at sunrise. Who do I talk to about making the change? A Time Lord? Our scheduled lineup was; Emerald Rae Low Lily Karyn Oliver Banjo Nickaru & […]
At the rate I’m going it’s going to take me as long to write about Falcon Ridge as I spent there. Perhaps today I won’t spend so much time gushing and just cover what happened and will be able to cover more ground. Thursday was spent greeting new arrivals to our camp. Who came then? […]
I’m back from Falcon Ridge. I got back eight hours ago and had ambitions to do things today including writing this hours ago. It’s hard to do that when you fall asleep sitting in your chair. I still have things to do but I won’t make My Gentle Readers wait another second. Jake J asked […]
One advantage to iced coffee season is that I don’t have to make coffee in the morning. Making coffee before I’ve had my first cup of coffee is always a challenge. This way it’s already made and I just drink it. I don’t even have to wait to breakfast; I’m writing this fully caffeinated. I […]
