Wise MadnessLast night I did the same thing I did the previous evening, I went to see Barnaby Bright, this time at Rockwood Music Hall Stage 2. As has been happening too often I had subway problems so I didn’t have time to go to the newish Lower East Side Trader Joe’s for the first time […]
In therapy Friday I complained that I had nothing to do this weekend. Then things turned up, Friday night I went to Lincoln Center and last night to Carnegie Hall. Like the woman in front of me on the line to see Shakespeare in the Park in 1980, I am a culture vulture. She spoke […]
The worst laid schemes o’ Mice an’ Men Gang aft for the best. Yesterday was Friday so I trekked up to Harrison for therapy. As I was getting ready to leave I went to the bathroom and discovered that cats left me three messes to clean up. I raced to clean them quickly and raced […]
Last night was great, for the first time in about 12 years I saw one of my all-time favorite bands, Dave’s True Story. They have been on hiatus since then. In the interim they did one short show that I couldn’t make and one full show that I missed for a reason that still gets […]
Yesterday was the second Tuesday of the month, My Gentle Readers should know where I was. That’s right, John Platt’s On Your Radar. John’s guests were Plywood Cowboy, Sophie Buskin, and Genevieve. OYR is always a home game. I decided last night that I’m not going to give my usual list of friends in the audience, I’m going to just give you a count. You know you should add at least one to the total as I always forget people. I just counted 15. The room holds only 60 and that count doesn’t include John and his wife Sheila. And then there were the performers.
Yes! I’m starting to write before 10! That counts as a victory, especially when I have a 1 PM appointment. I set my accomplishment bar low. Last night I went to see Sam Baker at Kathryn’s Space. This is both exciting and a home game. Sam is at the pinnacle of my musicians, and Kathryn […]
I did something I’m not happy about yesterday. I had a psychiatrist appointment. The stupid insurance company won’t pay if I see my therapist and psychiatrist the same day; that means two separate treks to Harrison. My appointment was at noon. The way the train and bus schedule work out that means having to take […]
I didn’t think I’d be writing this morning as I have to leave the house before I start writing on most days but it looks like somehow I’m pulling this off. Now I have to stay on task so I can both write and eat. Yesterday’s adventure was seeing The Sea The Sea at Rockwood […]
Last night I went to see Our Band at Barbès (bar-bez’). My original plan was to have dinner at Mile End Deli, the shopping at Trader Joe’s then the show. I left the house late and the train was slow. I ended up going straight to Barbès and got there just a few minutes before […]
I had a musical doubleheader last evening, Jo Kroger and Danielle Miraglia. If my breathing problems hadn’t been interfering with my sleep this would already have been written and I would have posted yesterday. My nasal congestion has been particularly bad the last few weeks; so bad that even the usual efficacious Breathe Right strips […]
