I have a lot to do today, laundry, shopping, and recording at least one edition of Gord’s Gold for Folk Music Notebook. Before any of that I have to write this. Yesterday I said that I would do laundry and go shopping and probably not go to see Birds of Chicago. I got that exactly […]

Hey I’m starting to write at 8:08; if that were AM it would be great. As it is, it will be a miracle if I remember anything that happened yesterday. Let’s hope for a miracle. At least I remember what I did, I headed to The Pronoia Community Project in Clifton, NJ, to see Carolann […]

Caramoor or Less
It’s been three days since I posted. That’s what happens when I go out early two days in a row. Now I have to write this before I go out today. Even I can’t call leaving a 2 o’clock early. It is early but if I admit that, you’ll think less of me. I’ve now […]

I Did It!
Yesterday’s adventures were all internal, the furthest I got from the apartment was the trash shoot. It’s still raining today but I have to get out of the house and I have to get some exercise. Internal adventures can be the most trying. I had to battle my own inertia and anxiety; that’s a battle […]
Sorry I didn’t write yesterday. I didn’t have a good excuse. It seems like a small thing but it has a lot to do with my other problems. We’ll be discussing this at my next therapy session. As a consequence I now have to catch up with what happened on Saturday before I get to […]

Two-Time Loser
Fridays always start the same, I go to therapy. The highlight of the session was when my therapist said I was a “a little bit of a sociopath.” She then added, “You’re going to put that in your blog, aren’t you?” I can’t disappoint us. I have an unusual relationship with my therapist. I think […]
Last night I made an expedition to Fort Greene to see Carolann Solebello, Paul Sachs, and Karyn Oliver. It’s part of a new series that Carolann and Devlin (I write devil first every time) Miles are running at the Putnam’s Pub and Cooker; it’s called Live From the Vault Songwriter’s Sessions. As a bonus I […]

Taking a Brake
My computer keeps hanging up. I’m afraid I need a new one. This was a Windows 7 machine now running Windows 10. It takes me forever to do anything. Wow, when did I start writing this? I fell back to sleep while waiting for the computer to start working. It’s now many hours later. I […]
This is a tale of a long walk, a doughnut, a chance meeting, and John Platt’s On Your Radar featuring Matt Marshak, Sarah Eide (rhymes with hay duh), and Martin Swinger. Sorry I’m posting so late; the coda will explain why. Yesterday was a beautiful day and I decided to take advantage of it. Instead […]
Last night I did something important enough that I was willing to miss Anaïs Mitchell win Tony Awards, Bobtown at Rockwood Music Hall. It was the release show for their new album, Chasing the Sun. I can’t believe that it’s been five years since they put out their last one. Somebody has been playing with […]
