Yesterday I celebrated my birthday. Considering the heat, doing anything in a timely manner was beyond the call of duty. The real reason it was late was that yesterday there was a concert to go to, Aurora Nealand at Sunny’s in Brooklyn. Why have I never written about Aurora despite the great name? It’s even […]

I’m 65 years old now you’d think I’ve have learned to get myself to blog every day, yet somehow, I have lost that ability I used to have. Is this an effect of aging? This need to be studied. Who should I apply to for the research grant? Let’s go back to the distant past, […]
I spent much of Friday planning then replanning, then rereplanning Gord’s Gold. I didn’t finish until tonight. I’ve more meticulous about the show’s timing. I now try hard to have been 54 and 55 minutes of music. On the bright side I have an entire set already organized for next week. I have 655 songs […]
Now on to Sunday at The New Bedford Folk Festival. We started with breakfast at a Latin American café. As a good Jew I had the Cuban Sunrise Tortilla, slow-cooked pork shoulder, fried ham, fried egg, and Monterey Jack cheese and of course coffee. Life begins with the first cup of coffee. We got an […]
I spent the weekend at the New Bedford Folk Festival. Saturday started early; Mike picked me up at 6 AM. Sure I did that to work the election and when I volunteer at WFUV, but my body will always object. We talked about stopping at the Dunkin’ Donuts at my house so I didn’t even […]

Oh My Darling
Good morning campers! Last night I went to see Dar Williams at City Winery; life is returning to normal. I’m even getting my commuting mojo back. I wasn’t going to eat there and had a reserved seat, so I forced myself to not plan on getting there an hour early. That takes an effort on […]
Wednesday was a major milestone in the return to real life; in the afternoon I went to the Met game and in the evening saw Meg Braun at Rockwood Music Hall and went out to dinner afterward with the gang. That’s a lot of goodness for one day. I love day baseball; we need more […]

Hour Band
I’m not dead! I know you figured that was the only thing that could keep me from blogging for so long. I’ve just been busy. Now do I write one long entry or do I split it up. I’ll let you know when I figure that out. Let’s go back into the distant pass, Sunday. […]

This Gemini is a Cancer
Last night I went to Miwa Gemini’s 50th birthday/Album Release concert. This was her first full band show since the plague started. That was worth a trip to Littlefield in Brooklyn to see. This was my third time seeing her and each was a revelation. The first was a porch concert and the second a […]
I was going to record Gord’s Gold but there’s a riveter banging out across the street. That is not conducive to recording. It’s also not conducive to writing but at least it doesn’t totally preclude it. Yesterday I went to another Met game, they were playing the Marlins. You might have noticed that I’ve been […]
