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. Like psychiatrists and teachers, OYR takes August off. In […]

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 sleepy, have a cold, and I’m cold. I feel like crawling back into bed and getting under the covers. Why am I not doing that? I did write yesterday, so I owe you a blog. My Gentle Readers are more important than my creature comforts. I’m a saint, the patron saint of bloggers. Once […]
Welcome to an early morning edition of Wise Madness. The WFUV member drive starts tomorrow and I’ll have to wake up at 5 AM. I’m getting there in steps, today I set my alarm for 7 instead of the usual 8:30. There were some alarm mishaps along the way. I want my full eight hours […]
Today’s edition of Wise Madness is about seeing the Anna/Kate Band. Now that I got the attention grabbing lede out of the way I can work my way up to it in my round-about manner. I’m getting a late start today. I woke up my usual time, went to my computer, and within 20 minutes […]
Last night I went to a great concert, Courtney Hartman & Taylor Ashton and Steph Jenkins. I’m uncertain how to say that; On the Facebook Event it was Courtney Hartman & Taylor Ashton // Steph Jenkins but on the Rockwood Page it was Stephanie. Let me check her brand-new EP, End to End. And the winner is … “Steph.” Good that’s what I’d call her without thinking.
I spent yesterday first as an IT savior and then seeing Emerald Rae and Jess Clinton. That was followed by a re-enactment of the Odyssey on the New York City subway.
Last night was the second half of my River Towns weekend. On Friday I saw Joe Crookston and Anthony da Costa in Tarrytown. Last night I saw The Kennedys and Eric Lee in Hastings-on-Hudson.
Yesterday was a long and fun day. First there was therapy. My therapist always gives me extra time. She asked me, “how do you do that?” I’m a fun patient to treat. Then it was off to Tarrytown to see Joe Crookston and Anthony da Costa. Therapy is in Harrison, due east in Westchester so […]
