No Depression

I have not been writing because I have not been having adventures. That is not a good excuse. Days without adventures are days to write about thoughts. Those are supposed to be most important entries. It’s late, I don’t think I’m up to thoughts. I could write a potpourri, at least that’s the way I’ll […]

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 […]

A Charming Disaster in the Land of the Shadow

Am I making a mistake? Now that I’m back to blogging people are going to begin to expect it. At least today is easy, I did something fun yesterday, I went to see Charming Disaster at a new venue, Umbra in Bushwick. Umbra means shadow so it’s an appropriate place for a Goth Folk band […]

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 […]

Blurbal Remedies

Hi My Gentle Readers, it’s been a while. I’m not sure if I can still do this but I’ll give it a try. I’m not going to write about a great concert I went to, or my adventure with my neighbor that got hostile when I asked him to not smoke in the hall, or […]

A* Likely Story

I’m trying something new, dedicating an entire entry to an album review. Is this thinking ahead? My last entry was my 2000-word opus on the essential albums of 2023. If I write reviews as the albums come in, I’ll save all that time at the end of the year. When I wrote the Essential Albums […]

Freelance Nunsense

Unbelievably I’m writing again. I have fallen behind even though I’m hardly doing anything. I’ll divide this entry into two parts, my health, for those who want to know how their friend is doing, and my musical adventure, for those who miss the Wise Madness view of the world. My Health: On Friday I had […]

A Capella That Doesn’t Suck

I’m still having difficulty writing. River me to and their wish is my command. I’m not going to watch Ahsoka till I finish. River has a special interest in this entry, and we went to see Pentatonix together on Sunday night. I didn’t know much about the group though I had heard good things. River […]

Falcon Ridge: Endgame

It’s time to move on to Saturday night at Falcon Ridge. Sorry that this has taken me so long. Because of the rain the entire Saturday night set was moved later. I left after Tony Trischka’s set. On the way back to camp I ran into Allison. I knew that her camp, Stupid Americans was […]

Falcon Ridge Part II: The Attack of the Clones

Back to Falcon Ridge. We pick up our story on Friday, the first day of Main Stage music. In the afternoon we had the scaled down Emerging Artists Showcase. I am not going to do a run down of all the artists. I’m still trying to make this just the highlights of the highlights. My […]
