Lucinda Hamilton

I’ve been busy and that means I have a lot to write about and little time to write. Since the last time I wrote I have volunteered at WFUV, Walked 10.6 miles on 13.76 miles, been a good citizen, went to therapy, saw Lucinda Williams, saw Hamilton and ate brunch with Emily and the girls. […]

A Tale of Two Towns (Bob and Hades)

Last night I did something important enough that I was willing to miss Anaïs Mitchell win Tony Awards, Bobtown at Rockwood Music Hall. It was the release show for their new album, Chasing the Sun. I can’t believe that it’s been five years since they put out their last one. Somebody has been playing with […]

Why Do We Love “Why Do We Build The Wall.”

I woke up before seven this morning and did not go back to bed. I never do that. It might have something to do with the fact that I fell asleep watching TV around ten last night. I have an alarm on my phone that goes off at midnight to remind me to go to […]

Anais’s Inferno

Last night I saw Hadestown for the second time. The show just opened. I bought the ticket in a pre-sale for people who had followed Hadestown on Facebook, or maybe Anaïs Mitchell’s Website. That is the only way I could afford to see this. I bought them the day they went on sale and were […]

Going to Hell

Yesterday, star fell from heaven into my pocket; Chris offered me his ticket for Hadestown. I have a ticket for April 23 and it’s now in previews, but no way I wasn’t going to jump at the chance. I have been waiting for Hadestown to reach Broadway the way others wait for the messiah. I […]

The Dark Crystal of Hadestown

The WFUV member drive is over and once again I’m writing from home. This a lot easier. I miss the macros I have on Word. I just used one to create the link to WFUV. It was a strange day at the station. Until 4PM none of the volunteers showed up. It was just me […]

Uh-Nay-Iss

This is the easiest kind of Wise Madness entry to write; last night I went to see Anaïs Mitchell at Rockwood Music Hall. If I can’t write about a friend, I just put on my list of great songwriters, performing at my home away from home, with friends in the audience, I should quit blogging. […]

A Very Van Merc Thanksgiving

Dateline Van Merc Hill: I’m safely ensconced in my room at Emily and Joe’s house, the Stately Van Merc Hill. Hey it’s in a state, fine, be that way, it’s a commonwealth, commonwealthy Van Merc Hill. My train arrived a little early, that does not happen with the bus, it’s always a question of how […]

You Can’t Tell the Players Without a Program

Today’s edition of Wise Madness is about seeing the Anna/Kate Band. Now that I got the attention grabbing lede out of the way I can work my way up to it in my round-about manner. I’m getting a late start today. I woke up my usual time, went to my computer, and within 20 minutes […]

Go To Come From Away

For my birthday Carey not, Carey asked what Broadway show I wanted to see. Without hesitation I said, Come From Away He was able to get tickets for the day before my birthday. I’m disappointed that tickets were available. It should be sold-out for months in advance.
