Wise Madness
On Saturday, Dan and I had a musical doubleheader involving four acts. It’s good to be back to being myself. It started when I heard that Alkemie Medieval Musical Ensemble was playing. I saw them once before and loved them. This is so much up my alley. The problem is that I have no idea […]
We have returned to the Golden Age of Wise Madness; Missing a day is unusual for me and I’m writing about live music; both are exceptionally good for my mental health. I’ll start by writing about Rachael & Vilray. They did a WFUV Marquee member show Tuesday night at Rockwood Music Hall Stage 2. I’m […]
Dateline the teacher’s lounge. My new plan is to sit here with earbuds to shut out the world while I write. I don’t particularly like it. A weird thing is that I can’t work at a desk. My shoulder and arm are much better but I still need to have my elbow supported while I […]
Today I’m going to write about the James Shipp and Scooches concerts but let me get some little things out of the way first. When I wrote about how well the weekend went I forgot a few things. First off the poutine dinner on Friday night. I told you that I ate it but not […]
I owe you reports on the shows by Jean Rohe, James Shipp, and The Schooches. It feels so good seeing three bands in one weekend. Two of them are billed as solo artists but they all have bands. When I became acquainted with Jean and her music the first musician I thought of was Anais […]
I have so much to write about and so little time. I might break this up into four entries; I have very little time now, so it will be the weekend’s vibe. This was perhaps the most me weekend since the pandemic started. I saw three concerts, hugged some of my favorite people, and ate […]
Dateline: Teacher’s Lounge I seem to have lost my man cave. One of the administrators has started using it as her office. Let’s see if I can write while two teachers are talking. To help I have started a deep dive into progressive rock. My co-teacher was explaining composition of functions and said you work […]
On Thursday night I saw Dar’s annual Christmas week show at the Bell House. Thanks to the plague this is the first one in three years. Slowly my traditions return. COVID-19 isn’t over, but life goes on. It’s all about balancing risks and rewards. How did I balance? I went but wore an N95 mask […]
The moment you’ve all been waiting for has arrived. I’m announcing my Most Exciting Albums of 2022. You can call it Top Albums or Best Albums if you like but I chose on the basis of how much they excited me. They are defined by the divine spark, and the effect that has on me, […]
Greetings My Gentle Readers and all the ships at sea. I’ve returned from the dead. Fine, I wasn’t dead, I was just very sore and lacking in time and energy. Now I’m just a little sore, have some time, and have 32 oz of coffee energy in me. That should be wearing off but I’m […]
