We’re in NYC for an unusually long stretch. We’re at the halfway point, and it will be hard to top last week, but we won’t stop trying.
We returned from VA on Tuesday to one night of solitude. Our extravaganza started on Wednesday. Since we had been away, I got back on the exercise [...]

Jerry Jeff Walker at BB King
A year ago we took seven people (plus the two of us) to see Jerry Jeff Walker at BB King’s in NYC. I wrote about that wonderful evening in this post. The stars aligned for us again this year, as we had company staying with us for the weekend, they love live music, and Jerry [...]
Dave Mason at BB King
Last night couldn’t come soon enough for us. We loved Dave Mason’s show at Blend Bar on March 6, 2008 (covered in this post). The experience at Blend Bar was less than special, but the show was awesome. We immediately grabbed two tickets to see Dave again on April 4th at BB King, a place [...]
David Grisman at BB King
This is a little late, as we’ve had company since yesterday morning, and I’m just now getting a few minutes to bang away at the keyboard.
On Friday night Lois and I went to BB King Blues Club to see one of my long-time favorite artists, David Grisman. I’ve never seen him live, but I own [...]
Doofus Music
For those of you who know that my favorite group is called Girlyman, you won’t be surprised to hear that I don’t judge a group by their name.
In this post (ironically about Girlyman!) near the bottom, I mentioned that I had lunch with a good friend who I used to work with for [...]
The Proclaimers at BB King
Last night marked the end of our mini-streak of concerts (six in seven nights, including the last three in a row at BB King). We saw The Proclaimers.
In 1998 The Proclaimers released their second studio CD, Sunshine On Leith. The first two songs on the album really grabbed Lois: I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles) and [...]
Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo at BB King
A few months ago, I saw that Pat Benatar was playing at BB King with Neil Giraldo. I only own one Pat Benatar CD (Crimes of Passion) and it’s absolutely awesome. I am embarrassed to admit that I had never heard the name Neil Giraldo, since he’s been her husband for 26 years, and her [...]
Candy Dulfer at BB King
I’ve known for a few weeks that Candy Dulfer would be playing last night at BB King. As much as I like her music, I didn’t purchase tickets in advance for two reasons: I thought we might be up at the house over the weekend and Lois isn’t that big of a Jazz fan (yet).
When [...]
Dave Mason Get Well
We were headed to see Dave Mason at BB King last night. (No links in this post.) I even Twittered about it, so it had to be official.
We got to BB’s a few minutes after the door was supposed to open, and were quite surprised (pleased?) to see that there was no line [...]
