I’m behind in my blogging but now is the time to catch up. You can read about me seeing Jean Rohe, James Shipp, and Taylor Ashton, a big scare I had, and an idiot story. Don’t touch that dial. We pick the story up on Friday after therapy. I had to make it from Harrison, […]

So sorry that I teased explaining why I’m not going to jail on Thursday and then didn’t write on Friday. I’m back to having sleep issues and didn’t have time to write yesterday What makes it worse is that I wrote a short depressing entry on Thursday and now I have tons to write about. […]

Yak Yak Yak
I am writing this under subpar, and subzero conditions. There’s no heat. I’m wearing more layers than an onion. Perhaps this will put me in the right mind frame as last night I went to a Nepalese restaurant to hear Nepalese music. As the feels-like temperature was below 0°F I dressed appropriately; that included the […]
I’m forcing myself to do a homework assignment today, add ten more acts to my You Probably Haven’t Heard List. I love to write about music and I love to make lists, but somehow it takes an effort to do this. I was happy to discover that I made things somewhat easier for myself by […]
Yesterday was a busy day, therapy, my first time at an old restaurant, and seeing The Sea The Sea at City Vineyard. It was my first time at the venue. The thing that makes it a long day is that therapy is in Harrison, quite a bit north of New York City, and City Vineyard is in Tribeca, far south Manhattan.

Essence of Happiness

There is nothing obvious to make it look like an entrance. You’d think it was a service entrance or the way to apartments above the Winery. It’s just a […]

B in My Bonnet
Last night I went to see B at the Bitter End. They were billed as B Betts and I like the sound of B Betts at the Bitter End. Lots of alliteration. B is the stage name of Oliver Esposito. I might find myself saying Ollie because B just is an Ollie. Ollie is 18, […]

Tampons and Prejudice
I made a note of what I wanted to write about a few days ago and forgot what it was but looked forward to using it today. I thought it was something fun, but it’s serious. Not only that but I’m a man and I have to talk about tampons. In a sense that’s the […]
Yesterday was the second Tuesday of the month and that means John Platt’s On Your Radar. I’m a friend and a fan of two of the three acts, Emerald Rae and Low Lily; the third was All Types of Kinds. I meant to get there a half an hour before doors to give me schmoozing […]
I saw the other four acts on Sunday, Dan Rauchwerk in the afternoon at the Word Up Community Book store, then The Bright Siders, Kaia Kater, and Lula Wiles at Rockwood Music Hall Stage 1. That was the Smithsonian Folkways Women of Music APAP showcase. Civilians are allowed in. I end up at Rockwood most year on the Sunday of APAP
