The Show Went On

Yesterday was the first streamed edition of John Platt’s On Your Radar. I was the one that suggested streaming to John and so I feel somewhat responsible for it, which leads to anxiety and self-doubt. A great load was taken off me when Rob Hinkal agreed to run the tech end. He’s great at that […]

My Journey to Musical Nexus

My life is so boring now that I should do some creative writing. I did write a poem while in the bathroom at 6:30 AM. I’m surprised I remember that I wrote it; I forgot until this moment. I recorded it as a voice memo on my phone. I think this is the first time […]

A Tale of Four Counties

Welcome to a rare early afternoon edition of Wise Madness. My soundtrack is WFUV‘s Sunday Supper hosted by John Platt. At least when I start. It was a long day and it might take more than the show’s remaining 45 minutes for me finish. It was long because I went on four county, two state, […]

Within You Without You

Last thing I told you was that I was starting three days of volunteering at WFUV. I thought that the only way I’d have time to blog is if I could do it from the station. That plan had to be abandoned when they decided to up security on the computers we use to take […]

Bonus Point For Monkey

Last night I did something that is very me, I saw Carolann Solebello and Karyn Oliver at Rockwood Music Hall. The only thing that would make that more home game would be sitting with my friends. I did, Sharon, Katherine, and Allison. This is a coherent group, the last time I saw any of them, […]

Walking the Walk

I’m not dead, I’m just recovering from the WFUV member drive and dealing with some issues. I put off writing this until 6 PM instead of the morning. I’ve walked during this drive as I have in any eight day stretch. As I walk to and from the station that’s over three miles round trip […]

Always Look on the Bright Side of Life.

I didn’t write today but as I can’t write tomorrow I should try and write something now. Let’s see how this goes. It will be short and personal. As I mentioned in an earlier post, I’m not in a good place mentally right now. I am depressed. I’m don’t want to get out of bed […]

We Got You Covered

Ahh, the pleasure of writing my blog on my computer. This is the way things are supposed to be. I’m still recovering from the WFUV member drive but we’ll see if the comfort of familiar surroundings makes itself felt in the writing. I was scheduled to work only a half day yesterday, 6 AM to […]
