It is so much easier to blog when I have actual adventures. Yesterday I ventured up to the frozen tundra of Dobbs Ferry to see the Mark Erelli and Abbie Gardner at the Common Ground Coffeehouse’s temporary home at the South Presbyterian Church. I’m the official “cute merch guy”. We have it down to a […]
I had philosophical points to make but I’m going to just talk about good things today. It’s a little cool, 58º but the sun is shining bright and I’m going to my first Met game of the season. We can always find bad things going on, there are always bad things going on, but we […]
I’m tired but I’ll write even before I eat dinner. Life is returning to normal. Yesterday I went to my first seder since the before times. I made what will hopefully once again be my annual trek to Norwalk Connecticut to celebrate Pesach with my once-a-year family. This year was a bit weird, as we […]
Sorry I’ve been MIA. Now I have a lot to write about. I’ve back to being a live music junky. Monday? What did I do Monday? that was so long ago. I know I went to see Michaela Anne at Rockwood Music Hall Stage 2. There were train issues, so I got there only shortly […]
Last night I went to see Youth in a Roman Field at Pete’s Candy Store. I’m making an effort to not bury the lede. No time to do my usual self-flagellation for not posting until it was late. It’s too late for that, so now let’s dive into the epic tale. It was a late […]
I have no excuse for not blogging until 2:19 PM on a day where I have to make a shopping trek and then go out tonight. Now that I got my guilt out of the way I’ll talk about yesterday’s actual adventure. I not only left New York City but I crossed the Hudson River. […]
I went out and did something fun last night so I will be good and write before I eat. That’s a laugh. Now it’s close to 12 hours later and I finished dinner. Last night I went to see the ethereal Aoife [ee-fuh] O’Donovan and the yare Yasmin Williams. I had to search for an […]
So, what’s new? I am going to have a middle school teaching interview next week. I gave them my availability and I’m waiting for them to give me a time. It is of course someplace inconvenient, Canarsie. If I get the job, I will have to move someplace on the L line. That makes it […]
I’m not dead. I’ve just hit a dead spot in writing. I have to get myself back in the writing habit. I did things the last two days, that helps. My friends Mark and Beth opened a restaurant/music venue, The Porch, in Harlem. Mark and Beth have a canonical order. I never know how that […]
This blog accompanies tonight’s edition of Gord’s Gold on Folk Music Notebook. It’s my annual list of favorite albums of the year. This is not a top ten list. This is an hour’s worth of radio list. As a bonus there is also my favorite EP and single of the year. If you tune in […]
