Magical Music

Last night I went to the best concerts of my life, it was so great that it overcame my lethargy and energized me to write. The artist was Molly Tuttle and Golden Highway. I won tickets from WFUV. I invited Ellen to go with me. The show was at Tarrytown Music Hall. I have not […]

Barnaby Brightest

Last night I had a musical doubleheader John Platt’s On Your Radar and Barnaby Bright, both at the Bitter End. It’s tough for me to write about On Your Radar as I do the social media for the series so I’m going right to Barnaby Bright. They are not just favorites, but they are one […]

Rockwood to Remedy

I still have to will myself to write. I know it’s worth the effort, but I wish I didn’t have to make it. Today I’m doing something new, I’m writing while watching the US Open. I used to watch lots of tennis then somehow, I stopped. I watched some of Wimbledon. I root for Americans […]

The Rainbow Girls Connection

Today marks the return of live music sags to Wise Madness; for many, this is what Wise Madness is about. Last night was special because I saw The Rainbow Girls for only the third time and the first time indoors. If you listen to my radio show Gord’s Gold, you’ll know that they are one […]

Anna And The King of Barbecue

Today is a rare staying at school later than I have to update. Why? I could go home stay there for an hour, then turn around but I decided instead that I’ll stay at school, have a leisurely dinner out, then go see Anna Dagmar conduct at Hunter college. I might take a nap while […]

Flaming Cheese in Concert

Good evening America and all the ships at sea. This weekend was a Gordon Special, all about me being me. On Saturday I wrote the script for this week’s Gord’s Gold. That’s not the special part.

Three Concerts, A Game, and No Idiot Story

Sorry for not.posting for so long. I’m not dead, injured, sick, or kidnapped. As I doubt very much that any kidnapper would be able to duplicate my inimitable style you can believe the first sentence.  What I have been is both busy and discombobulated. So much has gone on that I don’t have the space […]

Debutante Hour Reunion

Another day, another adventure in Brooklyn. Last night I went to the City of Churches to see Debutante Hour at Barbès. I had never seen nor even heard of the band this week. So why did I take the trek south? Susan Hwang posted a link to it on her Facebook page. I’ve seen as […]
