Deni Thing Goes

The soundtrack of today’s edition of Wise Madness is the Metropolitan Opera’s new production of Das Rheingold. Will that inspire or intimidate me. The Ring Cycle is the tale of the universe from birth to death; pretty big shoes to fill. I’ll stick to talking about Deni Bonet, therapy, and food. I missed therapy last […]

In the Know

My eyes did something weird today. The day after my cataract surgery I could use my computer without glasses. The next day I couldn’t and I bought a pair of drug store reading glasses and have been using them for two weeks. Today when I got on my computer I struggled to read. I was […]

Bobtown Garden City

Last night I went to see Bobtown so I have something to write about. I suspect only My Most Loyal Gentle Readers enjoy when I philosophize. I’d love to hear that I was wrong about that. I do know it’s easier to write about things I did. It didn’t used to be that way; it […]

We Are All Woody’s Children

Last night I went to the 50th anniversary celebration for Bob Sherman’s Woody’s Children. I haven’t been listening for 50 years but perhaps 40. I’m a newcomer. This was something I had to go to. But first, a word about my mental and physical health. Friday is my day for therapy. It was my first […]

On My Radar

Last night was a first, I co-hosted John Platt’s On Your Radar. I feel terrible that it was because John had a stroke but I did enjoy the challenge. I’d love to host another show. Richard Cuccaro and I had a voice conference with John to prepare us. We divided the hosting duties between us. […]

Go Hudson West Young Man

This is going to be tough, I have two days to write about and about half a night’s sleep. I need my second cup of coffee to start this. I’ll be right back. A cup of coffee in my belly and another in my hand; I’m ready to face the world. Blessed be Coffea arabica […]

Prince Myshkin Rides Again

Have I ever mentioned that I’m an idiot? If I weren’t an idiot I’d know the answer. For weeks I’ve been looking forward to seeing Red Molly at City Winery on Labor Day and taking Katherine for her birthday. I put it on my calendar months ago. I told Sasha Papernik and Justin Poindexter aka […]

No Fuss and Feathers and Lots of Fuss

On Friday I went to an ultimate home game, No Fuss and Feathers Traveling All-Stars and Motor Kings at Rockwood Music Hall Stage 3. A band made up of four good friends, at the venue where I am often greeted by name, and an audience filled with friends.
