Last night was our 10th show in the CMA Songwriters Series at Joe’s Pub. It won’t be our last. Last night’s show was awesome, among the best we’ve seen. There were only four performers last night (which has happened before, typically there are five), but there were five people on stage (I’ll explain shortly). Doing [...]

Jeffrey Steele at Joe’s Pub
Last night we saw Jeffrey Steele (and band) at Joe’s Pub. If you’re used to Twitter, and only have patience to read one paragraph, then let me describe his show in one word: Wow! We’ve had it on our list to catch a Jeffrey Steele show for a while now (if you read to the [...]
CMA Writers Series at Joe’s Pub
Last night was our ninth CMA Writers Series at Joe’s Pub. Yes, we already have our tickets for the next one, which will be #10. They started at 6:35pm. This time, there were only four people on the stage, rather than the more typical five. There was a qualitative difference as well. As I’ve pointed [...]
Weekend Birthday Bash
Our friends from Richmond came up to spend a very special birthday weekend with us in NYC. They were supposed arrive at our apartment by 10am on Friday. That didn’t happen.

Two Flew South

CMA Writers Series at Joe’s Pub
Another day, another CMA Song Writer Series concert at Joe’s Pub! Seriously, in addition to this being our seventh such show, it was also our second night in a row. The only repeat performer was the host, Bob DiPiero. I will have some things to say a little later on that will feel less flattering [...]
CMA Writers Series at Joe’s Pub
Last night was our sixth time attending the CMA Song Writers Series at Joe’s Pub. Tonight will be our seventh. We’ve enjoyed every single rendition, including last night. As I’ve written before, the performance abilities of the multitude of writers can be quite varied. Some are quite raw, while a few are close to professional-level [...]
