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 […]

Katering to My Tastes

Yesterday was Friday and that means therapy. Does everyone look forward to therapy as much as I do? Is it good or bad that I enjoy it? I hope it’s good. The therapist does challenge me and give me homework. She helps even when I’m not at therapy. The two main ways I process my […]

Nobody’s Girl But My Kind Of Band

It’s been four weeks and one day since my surgery. My body is not back to normal but I’m back to living my life and not taking it easy. Going out makes it a lot easier to write a blog about my life. Last night’s adventure was seeing Nobody’s Girl at Rockwood Music Hall. Nobody’s […]

Like A Kid in Pete’s Candy Store

I did things worth writing about yesterday. I went to see Emily Mure and the Young Novelist at Pete’s Candy Store. I love when my world fits together like a jigsaw puzzle. I love Emily as a musician and a person. I love Graydon and Laura as musicians and people. I know the independently of […]

Yesterday I went to my first wedding in almost two years; the nuptials of Seth and Emily. I often refer to Emily as my fiancée as I proposed the first time I met her. She made chocolate ganache, so it’s totally understandable. I had to buy a sport jacket and I promised you I’d post […]

The Great Citi Field Expedition

Last night I had the longest outing since my surgery; I went to the Mets – Nationals game. My body held up pretty well. I’m far from full strength but I can get by. As part of the Mets’ poor treatment of fans they now won’t allow backpacks at Citi Field. No explanation was given […]

Fiddle Camp Friends

I had another very good day yesterday; it’s hard to meet dinner with a great friend and hearing great music. There were only two flies in the ointment, I was a half hour late meeting the friend and there were no doughnuts with the music. Those amount to rounding errors. The dinner was with Katherine. […]

Chicks-fil-A

Last night I went to see Sharon Goldman at Rockwood Music Hall. The new norm as that timing the subway ride is a crap shoot so I can’t cut things as close as I’d like. I arrived at Rockwood at 6:02 instead of 5:55. Sharon was already into her first song. She started right on […]

Opera and Folk but Not Folk Opera

I missed writing yesterday so now I have a lot to catch up on; one of the best concerts I’ve ever been to, an idiot story, and the end of the world. See what happens when you miss a day? Friday night I went to see Hawktail. This was my first time seeing them as […]

No Fuss and Feathers or Hell

I went to see No Fuss and Feathers at Spiral Sounds Concerts last night so I have something to write about. Whew. Vamping was getting tough. Two entries ago I told you how I lost one of my Mets caps less than three weeks into the season. What I forgot to tell you is that […]
