Falcon Ridge Part 1

Kathy wants me to write my Falcon Ridge entry and her wish is my command. I am not going to give my usual multipart discourse into every detail of the festival. I’m still easing myself back into writing. I’ll write today until I’ve had enough and see if there is anything left to say later. […]

Kentucky Comes to Greenwich Village

Enough putting off writing. River has shamed me by writing their Falcon Ridge blog, This is My Home. I am going to put off writing my entry about Falcon Ridge as I did something worth writing about last night. I went to see Nora Brown, Sarah Kate Morgan, and John Haywood at Café Wha?. How […]

The Universe Likes Me

I am going to try and blog for the first time in months. Yesterday was my birthday, now that I am older and more mature, I might be up for it. I’m not going to be overly ambitious. I’ll stick to the highlights surrounding my birthday. First off, I care about my birthday, This is […]

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. The evening was special, Carolann Solebello, Tina Vero, and Dave Murphy played the PostCrypt Coffeehouse, in the bowels of […]

Kaia than a Kite

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 […]

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 […]

Not Too Shabby, Just Shabby Enough

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 […]

A Sami and Two Stephanae

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 […]
