My plan was to see Mama’s Broke, one of my top NERFA discoveries. They are a trad duo from Nova Scotia. Google Maps said I would be a little late but I managed to do better than it thought possible. When I arrived I saw Howard in the audience. He loves Canadian bands and I had recommended that he go.

Ariana is Grand
Welcome to a sleepy-time edition of Wise Madness. This is what happens when I don’t put my breathing strip on perfectly; I get sleep apnea, and wake up not well rested. Despite that I am writing because I don’t want to disappoint my Beloved Gentle Readers. There was amazing music throughout the Metro New York […]

We Got You Covered
Ahh, the pleasure of writing my blog on my computer. This is the way things are supposed to be. I’m still recovering from the WFUV member drive but we’ll see if the comfort of familiar surroundings makes itself felt in the writing. I was scheduled to work only a half day yesterday, 6 AM to […]
Dateline WFUV: I’m once again writing from the phone room at the radio station. I’m supervising the phone volunteers during the member drive. I am spending virtually no time at home out of bed. Yesterday I went straight from the station to Rockwood Music Hall for the April Edition of John Platt’s On Your Radar. John’s […]

Barnaby Jones Bright
Last night I did the same thing I did the previous evening, I went to see Barnaby Bright, this time at Rockwood Music Hall Stage 2. As has been happening too often I had subway problems so I didn’t have time to go to the newish Lower East Side Trader Joe’s for the first time […]
I’m racing against the clock I have 35 minutes until the Met game starts. I have to watch that on a TV in another room where using my computer is more difficult and I don’t want to be distracted. Yesterday was a busy day, not good when racing the blogging clock. I might have to […]

Going to Hell
Yesterday, star fell from heaven into my pocket; Chris offered me his ticket for Hadestown. I have a ticket for April 23 and it’s now in previews, but no way I wasn’t going to jump at the chance. I have been waiting for Hadestown to reach Broadway the way others wait for the messiah. I […]

Not Idiot’s Delight
I’m not sure where today’s entry is going but I do know there’s an idiot story, a good one. I decided to do something special for dinner last night, have the second half of the high-quality steak I bought on great sale. I froze it. I looked in the freezer and found it was even […]
In therapy Friday I complained that I had nothing to do this weekend. Then things turned up, Friday night I went to Lincoln Center and last night to Carnegie Hall. Like the woman in front of me on the line to see Shakespeare in the Park in 1980, I am a culture vulture. She spoke […]

Song and Dance
The worst laid schemes o’ Mice an’ Men Gang aft for the best. Yesterday was Friday so I trekked up to Harrison for therapy. As I was getting ready to leave I went to the bathroom and discovered that cats left me three messes to clean up. I raced to clean them quickly and raced […]
