Dar to Be Different

On Thursday night I saw Dar’s annual Christmas week show at the Bell House. Thanks to the plague this is the first one in three years. Slowly my traditions return. COVID-19 isn’t over, but life goes on. It’s all about balancing risks and rewards. How did I balance? I went but wore an N95 mask […]

Indulgences

I saw two concerts the last two nights, Dar Williams with Crys Matthews on Thursday and the Murphy Beds with Ivan Goff on Saturday. By skipping yesterday, I now can’t do either show justice, especially when I have personal things to discuss too. I’m drinking my second perfect cup of coffee as I write, that […]

Health and Dreams; Who Leads Whom?

I have a busy day today so this will have to be short. Yesterday I went to in-person therapy. Unfortunately, I didn’t realize it till I got there but it was only a 30-minute session. The trip takes an hour and a half each way. On the bright side it’s good for my physical health, […]

Enumerating What Happened on Friday

It’s Monday and I haven’t written since Thursday. I’ve been busy and that means I have a lot to catch up on. I’m not sure how I’ll do this, go light on details or write multiple entries or one very long entry. None of those appeal to me. I’ll improvise like Pat Mahomes on a […]

What Do I Love More Than Love

Last night I had an early celebration of my birthday as Kevin took me to see Dar Williams with Susan Werner opening. That should be all I need to write, the rest you can figure out for yourself. Just as 2 + 3 = 5; Dar + Susan = Great Time. Sure I just saw […]

On Your Raye Dar

Last night I went to Dar’s annual Boxing Day show. It wasn’t on Boxing Day. I don’t know if anyone else calls it her Boxing Day show. I’m know why I call it her Boxing Day show. It might be because of the one year there was a blizzard on Boxing Day when the show […]

Stuck in the Middle

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 […]

We Are All Woody’s Children

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 […]
