The Renaissance of Renaissance

I have something to write about today so of course I slept late and couldn’t write until the afternoon. TW: This is going to be a happy entry. Last night I went to see Renaissance with Carey. I don’t usually see legacy acts; Renaissance’s hay day was the 1970s. There is just one member of […]

Great Day for a Concert; Let’s Hear Two!

Last night I had a musical doubleheader. Months ago Emily Mure announced the date for her EP release, September 12. Then Joe Iadanza told me the date for his album release, September 12. I thought I had something for that date but wasn’t sure what. Then I saw it was Emily’s EP release and was […]

As the feels-like temperature was below 0°F I dressed appropriately; that included the […]

Essence of Happiness

Last night’s adventure was seeing Jefferson Hamer and Mary-Elaine Jenkins a the City Winery Loft. It’s above City Winery and next to the their Barrel Room. 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 […]

Bonet Part of Too Much Fun

Last night I went to see Deni Bonet (den-ee bo-nay) for the first time since her Carnegie Hall performance on February 24. This might be the longest stretch without seeing her since the first time, Christmas Eve 2001. Deni thought it was later than that but my suspicion was right. No! Even I was too […]
