Barnaby Brightest

Last night I had a musical doubleheader John Platt’s On Your Radar and Barnaby Bright, both at the Bitter End. It’s tough for me to write about On Your Radar as I do the social media for the series so I’m going right to Barnaby Bright. They are not just favorites, but they are one […]

Rockwood to Remedy

I still have to will myself to write. I know it’s worth the effort, but I wish I didn’t have to make it. Today I’m doing something new, I’m writing while watching the US Open. I used to watch lots of tennis then somehow, I stopped. I watched some of Wimbledon. I root for Americans […]

River has a special interest in this entry, and we went to see Pentatonix together on Sunday night. I didn’t know much about the group though I had heard good things. River […]

Anna And The King of Barbecue

Today is a rare staying at school later than I have to update. Why? I could go home stay there for an hour, then turn around but I decided instead that I’ll stay at school, have a leisurely dinner out, then go see Anna Dagmar conduct at Hunter college. I might take a nap while […]

Fine Jew

Last night I saw Tracy Grammer and Jim Henry give an amazing concert. Shame on me for waiting until 9:46 PM the next day to write about it. I have an excuse to not write it in the morning but that’s it. They played at the Troubadour Acoustic Concert Series  in Deep Dark New Jersey, […]
