Wise MadnessI didn’t call 911 yesterday! I wasn’t even tempted to. I’m mentally double checking that. Nope, didn’t spot anything close to an emergency; smoking in a subway station doesn’t rate a 911 call. What did I do? I went up to Common Ground Coffeehouse to see Her Crooked Heart aka Rachel Ries and Rachael Kilgour. […]
What’s my lede? Seeing Deni Bonet? Taking a walk? No, it’s that for the second day in a row I had to call 911. That caught your attention. It was Friday, that means therapy. I had extra need as the week before my therapist had to cancel over a family health emergency. Therapy also means […]
My therapist canceled yesterday which meant finding other ways to care for my mental health. Good thing I already had one planned, seeing Sharon Goldman at Free Music Fridays at the American Folk Art Museum. When I taught a few blocks away I was a regular at the series. It’s still convenient and as Lara […]
I half wimped out yesterday, I let the rain and my bank account stop me from seeing Michaela Anne and Lauren Balthrop at the Mercury Lounge but I still saw Jean Rohe at Rockwood Music Hall; as I do her merch that eases the financial issue and it’s closer to the subway. I see Jean […]
Yesterday had all the same elements as Saturday minus the idiot story, there was great music, great friends, and great food. There were also transit problems, but not for me. The music was by Bobtown, the friends were the members of Bobtown, Carolann, Allison, Bev, Fred, Shelley, David, Perry & Beth, repeats from Saturday, and […]
Today you get rewarded with tales of not just music and friends but an idiot story; it must be sweeps week. Last night I headed out to the wilds of Teaneck NJ to see Ryanhood and Sophie Buskin at Ethical Brew. It’s not that difficult to get to, two subways and a bus that drops […]
I have something to write about today so of course I slept late and couldn’t write until the afternoon. TW: This is going to be a happy entry. Last night I went to see Renaissance with Carey. I don’t usually see legacy acts; Renaissance’s hay day was the 1970s. There is just one member of […]
Yesterday was the second Tuesday of the month and that means John Platt’s On Your Radar. The performers were Our Band, Terry Klein, and Kate Callahan. I’m being good today and including all the links. I’ve been slacking off and only giving links when I have macros to insert them. It was not just the […]
Sorry I didn’t write yesterday. I always have things to write about, there’s a constant stream of ideas in my head, but often they move to fast for me to catch. When it comes to politics one problem is deciding on my audience. The reality is that most of My Gentle Readers broadly agree with […]
Last night I did something that is very me, I saw Carolann Solebello and Karyn Oliver at Rockwood Music Hall. The only thing that would make that more home game would be sitting with my friends. I did, Sharon, Katherine, and Allison. This is a coherent group, the last time I saw any of them, […]
