I’m going through my morning checklist. I have not finished the only other item, wasting time, but I’m going to start blogging anyway. That might seem like a silly joke but it tells you what goes on in my head. The Sasha Papernik trio played yesterday at the New Utrecht branch of the Brooklyn Public […]

I’m going to write about values and ideals that I’ve had since childhood and this album evokes them, Dar evokes them, Falcon Ridge evokes them. I’m addressing this to the people I love that share my love of the album, the artist, and the festival, and share those values, but whose blind spots I see. I’m not saying that they, or should I say, you, have blind spots. That’s pointless, we all have blind spots. I’m in the passenger seat adjusting the side view mirror for you. You’d do the same for me.
Last night I went to the Met game. … I said before that Alan’s mind works differently than mine. That helped shape the rest of what I’m going to write about, the way I understand, and have always understood baseball.

I’m the guy that goes out every night to hear music. That’s the first thing people think of me. I’m the guy with scores of friends, my therapist is amazed. I think she’s just surprised that anyone would even talk to me. No, I’m not running myself down, that’s a joke son, just a joke. Yesterday was the 19th and the last time I went out or saw a friend in person was the 7th. I didn’t even have a conversation with anyone till the night before. The only thing I needed my voice for was talking to Google. Last night I made my way to the far end of the desert.
I’ve finally reached the last day of Falcon Ridge. Let’s see if I can remember anything.
today I write about Saturday at Falcon Ridge.
On my third post about Falcon Ridge I finally get to the official start of the Festival. After various mishaps FRFF was running on all cylinders Friday. What I mean by that is that I started my day with bacon and eggs and the Dharma Café; I have simple needs.
The FRFF website says that the festival started on Friday. That’s only if you accept a narrow definition of what the festival is. Thursday should certainly be included as that’s when we have the Lounge Stage. Six solid hours of music. But even that does not encompass the entire festival as many of us arrive on Wednesday. There’s nothing happening at the stages, but the community takes shape. There is always music. That’s where I’ll begin
Here’s my problem, I have to write about Falcon Ridge but I’m also living my life and doing things worth writing about. I am going to try and write two entries a day. That’s rough as I’m still sleep deprived. On that note I’ll write about last night as that will require the least energy. […]
Welcome to the first Falcon Ridge 2018 edition of Wise Madness. It’s been a week since I’ve written and have lots to say. The trouble is I’m tired; I was seriously sleep-deprived and haven’t caught up yet. It was a tough festival on my body. I’ll start with my Festival overview; you won’t hear about […]
