Welcome to a rare early afternoon edition of Wise Madness. My soundtrack is WFUV‘s Sunday Supper hosted by John Platt. At least when I start. It was a long day and it might take more than the show’s remaining 45 minutes for me finish. It was long because I went on four county, two state, […]

I slept late yesterday and didn’t have time to write. Then I went out last night and didn’t get home until it was too late to write. Now I’m going out early today and don’t have time to write, yet I’m writing. This means I’m not going to write nearly as much as yesterday deserved. […]
Your Humble Diarist awoke from uneasy dreams to find himself transformed into a sleepy awake person. It was not the dreams; it was my usual combination of digestive and breathing issues. But one of the dreams was uneasy. I was Rodin’s Thinker, and somebody placed me in the bed, and I rolled on my side […]
This is going to be difficult to write. I’m having an outbreak of annoyance with people and I’ve been expressing this annoyance. I’m not being overcritical, my critiques are right on as far as I can see, even in retrospect. The problem is that I’ve been too free to express them. Saying something stupid is […]

Last night I trekked down to Brooklyn to see the last Live From The Vault: The Songwriter Sessions. This series was Devlin Miles and Carolann Solebello’s attempt to recreate a Nashville songwriters in the round in New York. It always featured one of them and two guests. For the last session they both participated, and […]
Yesterday was the second Tuesday of the month and that means John Platt’s On Your Radar. I didn’t discover any new music, why? I’m knew all the performers, Robinson & Rohe, Mosa, and Fred Arcoleo. I have a commuting idiot story, I had to meet Carey before the show at Penn Station. That’s convenient as […]
Last night I went to see Diana Jones at Kathryn’s Space, my eighth concert in nine days. One of those was an all-day Irvington Folk Festival. That’s a lot of music, even for me. Good thing it was all great music. Luckily there were not too many conflicts, I could have seen TMBG last night, […]

Bye Bye Love
I traveled 43 miles by train yesterday. That seems short but it’s what the Google Maps summary says. I might be misinterpreting it. It was a peripatetic day. As most Fridays do it started with therapy, or more accurately getting to therapy. Yesterday that means walking half a mile and taking a bus half a […]

Bonny but No Clyde
Yesterday was a busy day; I better get busy writing. My first stop was the Social Security Administration Card Center. I have to replace my card which was in my stolen wallet. I had no luck doing it online, that’s not the SSA’s fault, it’s because of my unusual circumstances. I got frustrated when I […]

Restless
I disappointed myself yesterday. I had three things to do, one was very important; Go to Social Security for a new card, go food shopping, and see The Restless Age at Rockwood. I left the house so late that I thought I might have to sacrifice the concert. Nope, I left so late that the […]
