This is going to be difficult to write. I’m having an outbreak of annoyance with people and I’ve been expressing this annoyance. I’m not being overcritical, my critiques are right on as far as I can see, even in retrospect. The problem is that I’ve been too free to express them. Saying something stupid is […]

I’m still behind on my blogging. I’m going to try to write about two days in one entry. There is a common thread between them. Sunday was Super Bowl Sunday, so I went to a concert. It’s not cause and effect but it happens often. The concert was in the afternoon so people can do […]
No excuses for writing late today. I even have something easy to write about. I’m just a champ at procrastination. I’ll have to write about that. Some day. Not now. Not tomorrow. But one day I’ll get around to it. Yeah. Last night I headed up to Common Ground Coffeehouse to see The Heather Pierson […]
Yesterday was Sunday so I went to church. I didn’t just go to a concert at a church, I went to an actual church service, vespers! I just had to look up exactly what vespers meant, an evening prayer service. So why did the Jewish atheist go to St. Peter’s Church last night? It was […]
I slept late today, good thing we turn the clocks back tonight. If I next wake up 24 hours after that I’ll be right on schedule. That doesn’t help me get things done today; things like blogging. Good thing I have something to write about. It wasn’t planned but yesterday was a mental health day. […]
Last night I went to see Madeleine Peyroux. That’s a lede, short, direct, and to the point. Thanks to that I can now wander around. I won the tickets through the WFUV Member Line. This is a great perk of membership that I don’t take advantage of often enough. You can win once a month. […]

I had another very good day yesterday; it’s hard to meet dinner with a great friend and hearing great music. There were only two flies in the ointment, I was a half hour late meeting the friend and there were no doughnuts with the music. Those amount to rounding errors. The dinner was with Katherine. […]

Welcome to a sleepy-time edition of Wise Madness. This is what happens when I don’t put my breathing strip on perfectly; I get sleep apnea, and wake up not well rested. Despite that I am writing because I don’t want to disappoint my Beloved Gentle Readers. There was amazing music throughout the Metro New York […]
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 […]
I’m forcing myself to do a homework assignment today, add ten more acts to my You Probably Haven’t Heard List. I love to write about music and I love to make lists, but somehow it takes an effort to do this. I was happy to discover that I made things somewhat easier for myself by […]
