Wise Madness
I am burning the candle at both ends; let’s see how long I can keep this up. Last night, Dan and I went to see the incredible Kaia Kater at Cafe Wha in Greenwich Village. Before I got to the show I taught a full day of school, prepared the Facebook Event for On Your […]
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 […]
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 […]
Spring break is wearing my blogging out. I do things worth writing about almost every day. Yesterday’s adventure was going to Amy’s house, aka The House of Love to see the first New York performance of The Shabbys. The Shabbys are (is?) Eamon O’Leary, Elise Leavy, and Stephanie Coleman. I have seen each of them […]
My spring break adventures continued Tuesday night with a trip down south, all the way to Brooklyn to see Sami Braman with openers the Stephanae, aka Stephanie Coleman and Stephanie Jenkins. Stephanae is the proper form of the plural in Gordonese, my native tongue. I love both Stephanae individually but have never seen them perform […]
I’m officially on spring break. After my wonderful Seder on Thursday and the Mets home opener on Friday I spent the weekend without leaving the apartment. Part of that was nice, part of that was a visit from my old friends, depression and anxiety. I was going to go to Aldi but found out that […]
Yesterday was the best day of the year, Opening Day of the baseball season. Like Annie in Bull Durham I worship at the Church of Baseball. I made sure to get home before first pitch. I had the TV on when they announced not just the starting lineups but the subs. This is all part […]
Captain’s log supplemental. Yesterday I wrote about seeing Kaia Kater. I planned it out and then forgot to include my favorite thought about her. As I was listening I tried to analyze how her voice felt. You read that right, not sounded but felt. I often see instrumental music moving through or filling space. I’m […]
My streak of exceptional music continued last night; I saw Kaia Kater at Common Ground Coffeehouse in Dobbs Ferry. My official position there is “Cute Merch Guy;” make sure to not forget the “Cute.” Thanks to another volunteer, Elana, this is an easy place for me to get to; I take the MetroNorth from the […]
Yesterday I went on a musical extra-inning double-header. In the afternoon I saw Lohengrin with Carey, Barbara, and Charles. Do all of my Gentle Readers know that I love opera and especially love Wagner? It has not been an active part of my life for a while but my love for it never goes on […]
