  • Paper Raincoat at Joe’s Pub

    We’ve had the pleasure of seeing The Paper Raincoat perform twice before, and I’ve covered both extensively, the first time at Canal Room and the second at Rockwood Music Hall. You can read those posts here and here, since I will take a different tack in this post, and everything that I said […]

  • Mary Poppins

    Laura and Chris saw Mary Poppins on Broadway last year and raved about it. Aside from Wicked, we rarely see any shows unless we go with friends who are visiting NYC. Chris’ parents are in town visiting them this week, and Chris and Laura bought four tickets to take them to see Mary […]

  • Ceili Rain at Tin Angel

    If you’ve visited this space before, then you know we love Ceili Rain. After listening to them for years, we finally got to see them live this summer and I wrote about it in this post. That show was awesome in every respect. That said, it was an outdoor concert, and that has […]

  • Indigo Girls at Tarrytown Music Hall

    We saw the Indigo Girls for the first time this summer, in VA, covered in this post. When I saw that they were coming to Tarrytown Music Hall (which we found out last night was their first time there ever), I was so excited that I used it as the excuse to finally […]

  • Girlyman at Infinity Hall

    Last night was our 12th time seeing Girlyman perform live. You’d think there wouldn’t be an opportunity for too many firsts but you’d be wrong. Amazingly, this was the first time we’ve seen Girlyman where we went alone. In the previous 11 shows, the smallest group we brought was two additional people, and […]

  • To Fifty Years More

    Note: this post is guest-blogged by my lovely (and incredible) wife, Lois. 🙂 We received this invitation in early August (from the wife of the man in whose honor the event would be held): ……….and attended yesterday. What an incredible celebration to honor the life of our extraordinary friend and his accomplishments. But […]

  • Sierra Hull in Madison Square Park

    I started blogging nearly three years ago, purely to keep a journal as we were growing older. Memories fade and blur over time, and this seemed like a good place to document the happenings of our lives. It’s grown a bit since then in a number of ways, but mostly, due to some […]

  • Amy Rivard and Alex Berger at Waltz Astoria

    We attend a lot of live music. Just this week, we saw Red Molly and The Nields at Joe’s Pub on Sunday. On Monday we attended a Livestrong Fundraiser. On Wednesday we saw Wicked (for the 8th time!). Last night was supposed to be downtime, to recharge the batteries for an even more […]

  • Wicked Again

    Yes, last night, we were Wicked again (oh, I mean we saw Wicked again). 😉 It was our eighth time (yes, we love it that much). We were taken by our wonderful goddaughter and her wonderful husband, dinner included (more on that after a quick review of the show). Thanks! There was a […]

  • Livestrong Cancer Fundraiser

    Music can uplift, connect, and at times, even heal. Last night, we got to experience all three facets, working in unison, and it was a beautiful thing! While we have attended a large number of shows over the past six years, it was only recently (April 2009 to be exact) that we noticed […]
