Up Nickel Creek Without a Paddle

Did you notice that I was hardly online yesterday and didn’t even blog? That’s because I was too sick to use my computer for very long. I had an old school Crohn’s attack. That’s a very different experience than I’ve had the last 20 years. This was not about an obstruction in my intestines, at […]

Fiddle Camp Friends

I had another very good day yesterday; it’s hard to meet dinner with a great friend and hearing great music. There were only two flies in the ointment, I was a half hour late meeting the friend and there were no doughnuts with the music. Those amount to rounding errors. The dinner was with Katherine. […]

Sunset Singing X² + Y² = R²

Yesterday was the first Friday in May, so the first Sunset Singing Circle of 2019. I only discovered it a few years ago but it started in 2002. Battery Park City started it as a response to 9/11, renewal through song. I was going to say that Terre Roche has been leading it since then […]

Why Do We Love “Why Do We Build The Wall.”

I woke up before seven this morning and did not go back to bed. I never do that. It might have something to do with the fact that I fell asleep watching TV around ten last night. I have an alarm on my phone that goes off at midnight to remind me to go to […]

Chicks-fil-A

Last night I went to see Sharon Goldman at Rockwood Music Hall. The new norm as that timing the subway ride is a crap shoot so I can’t cut things as close as I’d like. I arrived at Rockwood at 6:02 instead of 5:55. Sharon was already into her first song. She started right on […]

Opera and Folk but Not Folk Opera

I missed writing yesterday so now I have a lot to catch up on; one of the best concerts I’ve ever been to, an idiot story, and the end of the world. See what happens when you miss a day? Friday night I went to see Hawktail. This was my first time seeing them as […]

License to Kill

My therapist’s office called this morning; she is sick and has to cancel. This means I’ve had no therapy four of five weeks. It might be five of six. I was sick once, this is her second time sick, she had a vacation day, and there was Good Friday. In addition my psychiatrist had to […]

Anais’s Inferno

Last night I saw Hadestown for the second time. The show just opened. I bought the ticket in a pre-sale for people who had followed Hadestown on Facebook, or maybe Anaïs Mitchell’s Website. That is the only way I could afford to see this. I bought them the day they went on sale and were […]

No Fuss and Feathers or Hell

I went to see No Fuss and Feathers at Spiral Sounds Concerts last night so I have something to write about. Whew. Vamping was getting tough. Two entries ago I told you how I lost one of my Mets caps less than three weeks into the season. What I forgot to tell you is that […]

Writing About Not Writing

I decided to move my day up by half an hour. That’s nothing, people make that kind of change every weekend. I move up my day three and a half hours when WFUV has its member drives. Yet I’ve been tired the two days since I made the change. Maybe it’s coincidence and it’s just […]
