Wise MadnessI was seriously sleep deprived yesterday but somehow got myself out of the house and got something important done. The glass cover for my phone’s camera lens broke over a month ago at NERFA. I have not been able to use it much since then. I kept meaning to bring it in to be fixed […]
Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa. Forgive me Gentle Readers for I have sinned. When i listed my favorite discoveries of the year I worked without a net, my spreadsheet. I was on Facebook this morning and saw that Christine Lavin was doing a gig with Crys Matthews. I somehow forgot Crys from my list. That […]
I had a long day that involved time in four counties and use of four transit systems; I volunteered at WFUV in the Bronx, took MetroNorth and a Beeline Bus to therapy in Westchester, took a bus and MetroNorth to Grand Central Terminal, the subway to the World Trade Center, and the PATH to Jersey […]
Dateline WFUV: Once again I’m writing from the WFUV Member drive, in the basement of Keating Hall on the campus of Fordham University. I have to start with a Mea Culpa. I did not see the Anna/Kate band last night. I feel terrible because it was their last show. They are one of my top […]
I didn’t see Jean Rohe last night. I had a good reason, I’ve been going out every day, I saw her twice in the last two weeks, and the WFUV Member Drive starts tomorrow and I need all the rest I can get. I still feel bad I missed the show. I’m being stupid enough […]
I was too busy to write yesterday, that means I have a lot of catching up to do. Will I succeed? Will I have the energy to get up and find the program that would help me write about yesterday? These pages will tell. On Saturday night I trekked down to the Brooklyn Music Shop […]
It’s the list making time of year and today’s the day I release the big one, top albums of 2018. I relistened to many, to narrow it down. Having all my music digitalized makes it easier, I just look for all albums with a release date of 2018. Also keep a running tab. If someone […]
Welcome to a clear liquid diet edition of Wise Madness. I’m having a colonoscopy tomorrow so that’s all I’m allowed to have today. Back in the old days I could eat breakfast the day before. Normally I eat nothing before blogging but as this takes no cooking and I can’t eat anything after 5PM I […]
Welcome to idiotville. I was planning on fasting today to prep for tomorrow’s colonoscopy. Great idea except that the appointment is for Thursday. I never got my call telling me how to prep. I called today and found out that I need someone to take me home from the procedure. I’m now scrambling to find […]
Last night I went to see Deni Bonet (den-ee bo-nay) for the first time since her Carnegie Hall performance on February 24. This might be the longest stretch without seeing her since the first time, Christmas Eve 2001. Deni thought it was later than that but my suspicion was right. No! Even I was too […]
