Today is my birthday but I celebrated one day early. When Celebrate Brooklyn posted their schedule there was one show that excited me, I’m with Her and Darlingside. When I saw it was the day before my birthday, my birthday plan was laid. My party started on the line waiting to go in and continued […]

Last night I had an early celebration of my birthday as Kevin took me to see Dar Williams with Susan Werner opening. That should be all I need to write, the rest you can figure out for yourself. Just as 2 + 3 = 5; Dar + Susan = Great Time. Sure I just saw […]
I had my second glass of iced coffee, this one with ice cream instead of ice, so I’m ready to tackle my second blog of the day. It was the second Tuesday of the month and that means I went to John Platt’s On Your Radar. It was the second Tuesday of July and that […]
Dateline Assonet MA: Welcome to the New Bedford Folk Festival edition of Wise Madness; perhaps just part one. We’ll see how this goes. Every year I drive up with Mike. The festival starts Saturday morning so instead of leaving New York very early Saturday we left in mid-afternoon Friday. I do the same thing at […]
Today you get to read about great music, great friends, and me being an idiot. Why do I think it’s the last that you’ll find the most entertaining? As is usual for Fridays I went to therapy. Does therapist/patient confidentiality go both way? May I repeat the story that demonstrates that she’s a sociopath? I […]
I have a lot to do today, laundry, shopping, and recording at least one edition of Gord’s Gold for Folk Music Notebook. Before any of that I have to write this. Yesterday I said that I would do laundry and go shopping and probably not go to see Birds of Chicago. I got that exactly […]

It’s been three days since I posted. That’s what happens when I go out early two days in a row. Now I have to write this before I go out today. Even I can’t call leaving a 2 o’clock early. It is early but if I admit that, you’ll think less of me. I’ve now […]
Last night I made an expedition to Fort Greene to see Carolann Solebello, Paul Sachs, and Karyn Oliver. It’s part of a new series that Carolann and Devlin (I write devil first every time) Miles are running at the Putnam’s Pub and Cooker; it’s called Live From the Vault Songwriter’s Sessions. As a bonus I […]
This is a tale of a long walk, a doughnut, a chance meeting, and John Platt’s On Your Radar featuring Matt Marshak, Sarah Eide (rhymes with hay duh), and Martin Swinger. Sorry I’m posting so late; the coda will explain why. Yesterday was a beautiful day and I decided to take advantage of it. Instead […]
The rain let up enough yesterday for me to venture out to Bagel Bob’s for 55¢ bagels. That price is only on Mondays from 4 – 7. So yes, I travel from the Bronx to Greenwich Village for half-priced bagels. I follow that with a stop at the Trader Joe’s in the neighborhood. I’m not […]
