Say Cello to My Friend, Marimba

Yesterday’s adventures are pretty much the essence of being me. It has music, an idiot stories, food, and not getting things done. Our adventure starts with me falling asleep in the middle of writing yesterday’s entry. When I woke up I found myself very much pressed for time and neglected to write about things I […]

Red Birds and Kaia

Sorry, no exciting tales of crime and police today. Yesterday was a much more typical day in Wise Madness land; there was music, music, and more music. I will admit that I enjoyed the increased readership. I write for myself, but blogging is a form of communication and requires readers. It’s why I teased it […]

APAP Schmear

My therapist is sick and canceled. That upsets my coffee plan. I have none in the house but figured I’d stop at the Dunkin’ Donuts at the Harrison train station, get my free Dunkin’ Perks beverage of my choice, and buy coffee beans. Now what? I’ll make hot chocolate with my breakfast; I can live […]

Deni Day I Spend Time with Emily is a Good One.

Yesterday’s plan was to go to therapy, go shopping, and then to see Deni Bonet at Paddy Reilly’s Music Bar. I ended up not shopping as I forgot to bring my shopping bags with me to therapy but more importantly, I was surprisingly joined by Emily at Deni’s show. This is surprising as Emily lives […]

Party Like It’s 2020

The after I had to skip blogging because I didn’t have enough time I had sleep issues and couldn’t start blogging until 3:18. Sometimes things aren’t fair. Even now I’m fighting to stay alert enough to write. Am I starting with to excuse any problems with this entry? Not consciously. I always feel the need […]

That Was the Year That Was

I was going to go shopping yesterday but couldn’t face the rain. My mother would say, “What? Your made of sugar?” I have double plans for today and tomorrow, so I don’t know what I’ll do. Today I’m going to the New York Botanical Garden Train Show with Allison and Joe and then to my […]

Best Albums of 2019

Yesterday my top albums of 2019 show aired on Folk Music Notebook. This was my longest foray into solo radio, an hour and a half. I found it much easier doing live radio with Brian. Partially it was having Brian around, when I was lost as to what to say I’d insult Brian, or he […]

Top of the Charts is Coming

I didn’t blog yesterday and waited until almost three to start today? What’s up with me? Let’s blame the sleep apnea. In this case that’s legit; sleep apnea and procrastination. I knew that Ron Olesko wanted to air my top album of 2019 show on Folk Music Notebook some time between Christmas and New Year’s. […]

You Realize of Course This Means WAR

The sleep apnea hit me like a ton of bricks today. I have been too sleepy to do anything including blogging or recording more for Folk Music Notebook. I’m not over it. I just yawned. Maybe I should make another pot of coffee and this time inject it straight into my veins. I’m going to […]

The Carol of the Village

Last night I went Christmas caroling with Terre Roche and friends, both Terre’s and mine. This is a highlight of every year and this year is no exception. Terre has been doing this every year since 1978 or so. I started in 1990, took a break when I lost touch with Terre and didn’t know […]
