Yesterday was a day of great music that was unexpected, and traveling woes that comes as no surprise. I’ll tell the tale in that order. Yesterday after lamenting that I had no music on my calendar I got a message from Micki asking if I wanted to see Caravan of Thieves in Stage One of […]
I wimped out last night. My plan was to see Aviv Roth at the Brooklyn Society for Ethical Culture but I was tired and did not feel up the trip to Brooklyn. I don’t think other people feel guilty about things like that. I do. I haven’t seen Aviv perform in ages, I don’t like […]
Last night I went to one of my favorite annual traditions, caroling with the Terre Roche and the Caroling Carolers. There were two first yesterdays, the first time in 45 years of the CCs caroling that it rained, and the first time since I friended Terre Roche on Facebook and once again started going every […]
Last night I had a great time seeing Christine Lavin and friends at Urban Stages. Her friends were Julie Gold, Katherine Rondeau. and Karen Jacobsen. It could have been called “Gordon’s Friends, without Gordon.” That’s not quite accurate as I don’t know Karen even though I’ve driven with her many times. Karen is an Aussie […]
This is one of those Gaulic editions of Wise Madness it is divided into three parts. The first and most important concerns my health. I had my post-colonoscopy follow-up appointment with my gastroenterologist and in the process set many other medical procedures in motion. As soon as the colonoscopy was done the Dr. Kwah told […]
The WFUV member drive is over and once again I’m writing from home. This a lot easier. I miss the macros I have on Word. I just used one to create the link to WFUV. It was a strange day at the station. Until 4PM none of the volunteers showed up. It was just me […]

Forgotten Favorite
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 […]

Music Discovery Starts Here
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 […]
This is new and exciting. I am at WFUV and writing directly on WordPress from the computer I use to take pledges. That means i don’t have my macros to insert links and my customized spell-check. I hope this comes out in a reasonable approximation of English. I didn’t update yesterday because i woke up […]
