Huzzah, I did something more than a Donut Walk™ yesterday. I went to visit a real live friend! I got on the subway, traveled to Brooklyn, and met Katherine in Prospect Park. I am losing my Brooklyn cred; I incorrectly pictured the Parkside subway station and its relationship to the park, and I know longer […]

I’m giving myself a folk music break and listening to classical music while I write this. I’ve been trying to listen to as much new to me folk music as I can to find material for Gord’s Gold. The problem is that Ted Sturgeon was right, 90% of everything is crud. I often have the […]
I forgot to write yesterday. That’s partially because I was good and worked on Gord’s Gold. The show is streamed on Tuesday night and I finished it last night. I beat my old record for early finish by more than 24 hours! I get good enough at this maybe I can expand to two hours […]
Yesterday was an excellent social contact day. I got a phone call shortly into my Donut Walk™. I was going to say that my phone rang but it didn’t. I was listening to Don Giovanni and all of a sudden the music stopped. I went to look at my phone to see what went wrong […]
Things went back to normal yesterday and I took my Donut Walk™. I suspect I’ll skip it today because of the Seder but perhaps not. I am not going to let a little thing like keeping kosher for Pesach keep me from donuts the rest of the week. I’m a good Jew and eat matzoh […]
I did not make my donut walk yesterday! This morning I’m tired, is that cause and effect? What spelling of doughnut do you prefer, the one that refers to the dough, or the one that I believe was made up by Dunkin’ Donuts, now DD? I prefer doughnoughts, zeroes made from dough. That isn’t where […]
Greetings music lovers; that’s John Platt’s signature phrase and last night was John Platt’s On Your Radar so I’m using it. I’m debating continuing welcoming My Gentle Listeners on Gord’s Gold. I will never abandon My Gentle Readers. Later last night, 11 PM EST, Gord’s Gold was live on Folk Music Notebook. The archive at […]
I started to write an hour ago. I was going to say how I am finally getting through a day without feeling sleepy, then I fell asleep. You have to appreciate the irony. Is this not a coincidence? Was it thinking about that brought on the drowsiness? I suspect it was. I’ve been asking artists […]
I’m not dead! Sorry I haven’t posted. I’m apologize the most to myself. This has not been good selfcare. I have spent so much of the last few days sleeping. I’m going to have to discuss this with my psychiatrist. Is it my meds? It doesn’t feel like it. I had med related sleepiness and […]
I’ve been starting to write for the last two hours. Every time I start I put on some new music I received and then get distracted. Now that people are sending me music every day I’ll have to get better at my musical time management. I very much want to make a time signature joke […]
