Wise MadnessLast night’s adventures started late, I went to see TAARKA do a 10 PM show at Pete’s Candy Store. That’s in Williamsburg so I had to leave considerably before then. I guess I should point out that Pete’s Candy Story is not a Candy Store; it’s a bar with a dedicated room in the back […]
A few days ago I said that I had nothing planned. I was wrong. I have something planned for every day. Yesterday’s plans were made on the fly. First I went over to see Jane who is in from Portland to take care of things at the apartment she’s trying to sell. We didn’t get […]
I’m in a terrible sleep cycle. My circadian rhythm is shot. I’m up half the night and sleeping all morning. That is not conducive to blogging. I’m writing now at 2 PM but I should be out of the house. I just called Jane and told her that I’d be over when I’m done blogging. […]
Last night I went to Dar’s annual Boxing Day show. It wasn’t on Boxing Day. I don’t know if anyone else calls it her Boxing Day show. I’m know why I call it her Boxing Day show. It might be because of the one year there was a blizzard on Boxing Day when the show […]
I slept away the morning and now I’m rushed for time. I’m going to see Dar tonight at her annual Boxing Day show, which is not on Boxing Day; by tradition I’m the first one on the line. I woke up at a normal hour, 9:30, but almost immediately fell asleep in my chair for […]
It’s now clear that I made a mistake last night; I didn’t go to see Sophie Buskin at Rockwood Music Hall. Usually I know enough to override the depression feedback loop. It wasn’t like on Friday when I was out all day and wanted to rest. I didn’t leave the house yesterday and I have […]
Yesterday was a day of great music that was unexpected, and traveling woes that comes as no surprise. I’ll tell the tale in that order. Yesterday after lamenting that I had no music on my calendar I got a message from Micki asking if I wanted to see Caravan of Thieves in Stage One of […]
I wimped out last night. My plan was to see Aviv Roth at the Brooklyn Society for Ethical Culture but I was tired and did not feel up the trip to Brooklyn. I don’t think other people feel guilty about things like that. I do. I haven’t seen Aviv perform in ages, I don’t like […]
Last night I went to one of my favorite annual traditions, caroling with the Terre Roche and the Caroling Carolers. There were two first yesterdays, the first time in 45 years of the CCs caroling that it rained, and the first time since I friended Terre Roche on Facebook and once again started going every […]
Last night I had a great time seeing Christine Lavin and friends at Urban Stages. Her friends were Julie Gold, Katherine Rondeau. and Karen Jacobsen. It could have been called “Gordon’s Friends, without Gordon.” That’s not quite accurate as I don’t know Karen even though I’ve driven with her many times. Karen is an Aussie […]
