Wise Madness
I had a busy weekend, On Friday I saw Girl Party with Deni Bonet, K.J. Denhert, Sloan Wainwright, and Emily Cavanagh. Last night I saw Charming Disaster’s CD release party for Unnatural History. Let’s see how much ground I can cover tonight. Whatever I don’t get to I’ll finish tomorrow. Friday was an exceptionally long […]
I’m posting again, give me a cookie! Today is the best day ever. Why? It’s Valentine’s Day. No, that does not mean I have a Valentine. As has happened every year of my life I’m alone on Valentine’s Day. I’m not a misanthrope, not having someone special is not a good thing. So why is […]
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, […]
We have returned to the Golden Age of Wise Madness; Missing a day is unusual for me and I’m writing about live music; both are exceptionally good for my mental health. I’ll start by writing about Rachael & Vilray. They did a WFUV Marquee member show Tuesday night at Rockwood Music Hall Stage 2. I’m […]
I have so much to write about and so little time. I might break this up into four entries; I have very little time now, so it will be the weekend’s vibe. This was perhaps the most me weekend since the pandemic started. I saw three concerts, hugged some of my favorite people, and ate […]
On Thursday night I saw Dar’s annual Christmas week show at the Bell House. Thanks to the plague this is the first one in three years. Slowly my traditions return. COVID-19 isn’t over, but life goes on. It’s all about balancing risks and rewards. How did I balance? I went but wore an N95 mask […]
Most weeks when I’m teaching, I finish recording Gord’s Gold on Sunday morning. Here I am with all this extra free time, and I am only 40% done at 6:00 PM on Tuesday. I took my mic out this morning to record and simultaneously they started construction across the street. I managed to get that […]
I have a good excuse for not writing yesterday, I hurt myself. On Wednesday I stopped at Aldi on the way home. For the second time I missed my st0p. It’s in the Bronx but way south of my house and I get there much faster than my brain has been trained to look where […]
I’m home, relaxed, and ready to write. How did I spend my Thanksgiving? Alone in my apartment that I never left. I never got dressed. That’s always a great luxury. I had long satisfying conversations with two friends which kept the loneliness at bay. For dinner I ordered a duck from Chinese restaurant via GrubHub. […]
A miracle I’m writing. Work has been frustrating, I’ll leave it at that. O friends, no more these sounds! Let us sing more cheerful songs, more full of joy! Raise your hand if you know what I am quoting. Why do I always see the same hands? Yes, it’s the introduction to Ode to Joy […]
