Saturday Night I saw The Whiskey Charmers at Rockwood Music Hall. This was my first time seeing them since the pandemic started. Needless to say, I was excited. Not only are they one of my favorite bands, but Carrie and Lawrence are friends. It’s always better when the musical appreciation comes before the personal, then […]
I have so much to write about and so little time. I might break this up into four entries; I have very little time now, so it will be the weekend’s vibe. This was perhaps the most me weekend since the pandemic started. I saw three concerts, hugged some of my favorite people, and ate […]
On Thursday night I saw Dar’s annual Christmas week show at the Bell House. Thanks to the plague this is the first one in three years. Slowly my traditions return. COVID-19 isn’t over, but life goes on. It’s all about balancing risks and rewards. How did I balance? I went but wore an N95 mask […]
I’m not sure if I’ll have time to write today so I asked ChatGPT to write about Deni Bonet’s concert last night in my style. This is what it came up with. She was not joined by young musicians other than her usual bandmate Chris Flynn. The rest was written by Chat GPT. Last night, […]
I keep saying that I’m going to get back to posting regularly and I keep breaking that promise. I apologize. Today I clearly have the time, the energy, and things to write about; that is enough to motivate me. This is spirit week at school, each day has its own theme. Monday was Pajama Day […]
Dateline School: I’m trying something new, writing during a free period at school. I have no time for writing when I get home and I’m often too tired. Let’s see if this can become the new normal. Unfortunately I’m on a school issued Mac and don’t have Word. I’m writing this on Google Docs. I’ll […]
Last night I went to a concert, that’s not unusual. What is unusual is who I saw and where I saw it. It was Elvis Costello at the Pier 17 Rooftop. Me seeing a dinosaur of Rock and Roll not named Richard Thompson? Yes, as much folk as I listen to, I’m still a rocker. […]
Sorry I’ve been so quiet. I know I barely touched Falcon Ridge but that will wait yet another day so I can write about my adventures the last few days, especially yesterday. I went to a new venue for me, The Sultan Room in Bushwick to see a lineup that might have been designed to […]
I’m back from Falcon Ridge. I was too tired to write yesterday now I’m pressed for time but will do my best. The adventure started before I left home. My ride had a family emergency and suddenly there was no way to get to Falcon Ridge and to make it worse he has my camping […]
I spent much of Friday planning then replanning, then rereplanning Gord’s Gold. I didn’t finish until tonight. I’ve more meticulous about the show’s timing. I now try hard to have been 54 and 55 minutes of music. On the bright side I have an entire set already organized for next week. I have 655 songs […]
