Wise Madness
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 […]
On Sunday I went to my second Met game of the season. Horror of horrors, because of a train delay I missed first pitch. On the plus side I remembered to bring my own food, a ham and cheese hero and popcorn. Popcorn is my official baseball game snack food. I’m not sure what would […]
I’m writing this the Megabus to Boston. The promised Wi-Fi is nonexistent. Fortunately, since the last time this happened to me my phone plan includes hotspots. None of that helps with being stuck in traffic. The bus left 34th street and 11th avenue at 3:30. An hour and a half later we just crossed under […]
I didn’t get the job. I decided to tear the band-aid off. I didn’t even expect to hear from them until next week instead I heard yesterday. I have no idea what happened as the interview went so well and I got nothing but praise from the interviewers. I won’t speculate, at least I won’t […]
I’m writing a rare pre-9AM edition of Wise Madness. I used to do this all the time. I’d write before I left home to teach. Last I left you I said that I would call a friend and try to hang out today. That didn’t happen, I listened to the Met game instead. I don’t […]
I am becoming holiday music. That’s what happens when I prepare a holiday show. Here’s a sneak peek, there will be music by RUNA, The Sea the Sea, Barnaby Bright, and the cast of Hadestown. That’s how far I got writing yesterday. What happened? I looked at my playlist to see what musicians I should […]
Today disappeared. I somehow slept until 1:30 PM. It was a rare day that I made breakfast before I turned on my computer. I know you care what I ate, it was hameggandcheese on a bagel. I’m considering not cooking dinner and just having peanut butter. Usually I think of that as a failure, but […]
Great, I’m posting later and later. Now it’s 10:32. There was a time that I’d write when I got home which was often well after midnight. Thanks to COVID-19 I turn into a pumpkin at 1 AM when the subway stops running. I have no excuse for waiting so long to write today. I could […]
I’ve been bad about writing. I’ll make up for now. I’m starting to write while I’m listening to Suzie Vinnick. That’s tough because I like watching Suzie and I like heckling via chat. I have no idea why any musician puts up with me. I really do know, it’s because I make it clear that […]
I haven’t written in days so I will now even though it’s 7:09 and I haven’t had dinner, I haven’t talked to a friend today, and I’m way behind on writing postcards to voters in Georgia. I can’t let this dry spell go on a minute longer. Blogging is important to me I’ve made expeditions […]
