Wise Madness
Yesterday was the best day of the year, Opening Day of the baseball season. Like Annie in Bull Durham I worship at the Church of Baseball. I made sure to get home before first pitch. I had the TV on when they announced not just the starting lineups but the subs. This is all part […]
I have had adventures in darkness since the last time I wrote. On Monday night I made a delicious dinner, bratwurst and roasted potatoes. To top it off I made popcorn. I spent my life scorning fancy (i.e. expensive) popcorn. I always bought Jolly Time or the store brand. I know popcorn can taste better […]
Captain’s log supplemental. Yesterday I wrote about seeing Kaia Kater. I planned it out and then forgot to include my favorite thought about her. As I was listening I tried to analyze how her voice felt. You read that right, not sounded but felt. I often see instrumental music moving through or filling space. I’m […]
My streak of exceptional music continued last night; I saw Kaia Kater at Common Ground Coffeehouse in Dobbs Ferry. My official position there is “Cute Merch Guy;” make sure to not forget the “Cute.” Thanks to another volunteer, Elana, this is an easy place for me to get to; I take the MetroNorth from the […]
Sorry I haven’t been writing. I’ve been either busy or tired. I’ve had some commuting hell. On Monday I went to the Knick game, they lost, but that’s not the point. The point is that I leave the game after my theoretical bed time. I’m never actually in bed then but that’s my goal. If […]
Yesterday I went on a musical extra-inning double-header. In the afternoon I saw Lohengrin with Carey, Barbara, and Charles. Do all of my Gentle Readers know that I love opera and especially love Wagner? It has not been an active part of my life for a while but my love for it never goes on […]
I’m on a run of great music, last night it was Aoife O’Donovan, Bruce Springsteen, and Hawktail. That Springsteen guy wasn’t there but he must be fairly good as Aoife did a cover version of his album Nebraska. The songwriting was good. I think he might have a future. It’s so nice of Aoife to […]
It’s Tuesday and I finally have time to write about Sunday. I went to see Amy Kucharik and Gracie Terzian at Astoria Bier and Cheese. This was exciting, Amy’s first New York gig since I met her. Amy is someone whose shows are so entertaining that I watched her streaming shows before COVID-19. I did […]
I have two exceptional shows to write about. On Saturday night I saw Mary Lee’s Corvette and on Sunday, Amy Kucharik and Gracie Terzian. Mary Lee and Gracie are redheads, Amy has some red highlights, so you can say that I saw red. Sure that’s pushing things but now I don’t have to think of […]
The big news, I’m typing with two hands. My left one did not fall off from the cut. I didn’t even lose a finger. That is somewhat disappointing. Instead of the full gauze bandage I’m wearing a bandaid and it hardly hurts. Now that It’s not gross I might take a photo when I change […]
