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 […]
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 […]

You’re the Top
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 […]
I’m home from my colonoscope. I wasn’t sure if I’d have the guts to post this but the doctor saw them through the scope. I’ve been looking forward to making that joke all day. I might not be able to resist more bowel jokes: They are so hard to resist, that’s why I used the […]
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 […]

I’ve been writing Wise Madness for over 18 years, you’d think that by now it would have learned to write itself. I’m very disappointed. So now I have to come up with ideas. What exciting things did I do yesterday? I picked up two prescriptions and I went food shopping. Oh no, I forgot to […]
Festivus is officially here, I went to my first holiday show, Robinson & Rohe’s Longest Winter. This is a tradition, I see it at least once every year. This time it was at the Common Ground Coffeehouse. How much is this a home game? When sound check was over Jean said, “Are you doing merch. […]
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 […]
