Last night I went to the 50th anniversary celebration for Bob Sherman’s Woody’s Children. I haven’t been listening for 50 years but perhaps 40. I’m a newcomer. This was something I had to go to. But first, a word about my mental and physical health. Friday is my day for therapy. It was my first […]

Uh-Nay-Iss
This is the easiest kind of Wise Madness entry to write; last night I went to see Anaïs Mitchell at Rockwood Music Hall. If I can’t write about a friend, I just put on my list of great songwriters, performing at my home away from home, with friends in the audience, I should quit blogging. […]
I didn’t go out yesterday so today is the first write whatever I want post since before NERFA. The problem is I don’t know what to write. I have many competing ideas, I can go personal, I can go religious, I can go political/philosophical. I can write about snow. I think I’m going for potpourri. […]

As Good As Goldman
The main event yesterday was Sharon Goldman’s birthday concert.
I didn’t finish writing about NERFA but it’s time to move on to John Platt’s On Your Radar. I usually begin by saying, “It’s the second Tuesday of the month, you know what that means.” But it hasn’t meant John Platt’s On Your Radar since July.

NERFA 2018: Part 2
I’ll wrap up the NERFA reporting today. This is going to come from many different directions, that’s good as NERFA comes from many different directions.

Time to plunge in and start writing about NERFA. I’m going to be useful to the folk community and write about the artists I discovered at showcases.
Marty couldn’t use his ticket to see Anna & Elizabeth and The Low Anthem at Zankel Hall. The only reason I didn’t have a ticket for that was that I couldn’t afford it. Not a fan of The Low Anthem but I love Anna & Elizabeth. I couldn’t say yes fast enough. Not only did I get to go, I got to sit in the front row. This show was a big deal, Zankel Hall is part of Carnegie Hall, its ultra-cool basement auditorium.
I’m going to write about seeing Miles and Mafale and friends but before that I’m going to tell an ugly story and use an ugly word. If you want to skip that and get to fun it begins after the horizontal line.
All Gaul is divided into three parts but this entry is divided into two, a doctor visit and seeing Mya. That opening would work better if I were at the doctor for my gall bladder, but I’m no longer in possession of one. I have Crohn’s disease. I had cancer of the small intestine. I […]
