I almost let the heat stop me but I went out for my walk yesterday. I left late, close to 7 PM. There are two advantages to that, one it’s cooler, two there is little risk of sunburn. Only mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the noonday sun. I went on the Bronx Forest […]

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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
