Ceili Rain at Joyful Noise III
Over a year ago, I wrote a post entitled Everybody Clap for Everybody. The second paragraph explains how we came to discover Ceili Rain, in September 2001, in the aftermath of 9/11. We’ve been huge fans ever since, but have never had the opportunity, and therefore the pleasure (and privilege) of seeing them […]

Indigo Girls at Lewis Ginter
When I first heard the Indigo Girls sing Closer to Fine, in 1989, I ran out and bought the CD right away. I didn’t regret it, as there are many other great songs on the CD as well. If you read my earlier post today about Eddie From Ohio, then you know that […]

Eddie From Ohio at Innsbrook After Hours
On Wednesday (June 10th) four of us spent the evening at an outdoor concert at Innsbrook After Hours. The title of this post is totally out of character with my other music posts. I almost always put only the headliner in the title, and cover the opening act(s) after covering the headliner. Eddie […]

Wes and Hadar’s Excellent Adventure
Many more people participated in one or more of the activities I’m about to list. Only Wes and I enjoyed every single one of them, hence the accurate title. 🙂 Wes flew up on Thursday morning and I picked him up at Newark Airport. We headed straight to the city and met Lois […]

We’ve seen Sweet Bitters live three times now (including last night). The first time we saw them was just over a year ago at Pete’s Candy Store in Brooklyn. I covered that evening in this post. Seven months later we saw them perform at Googie’s, covered in this post. As noted in that […]

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. […]

Happy Birthday Lois
Lois and I rarely exchange gifts or cards on any occasion, including birthdays. The main exception is that Lois has gone out of her way to make some of my milestone birthdays very special affairs. That included my 30th, 35th and 50th. This was not a milestone birthday for Lois, but I decided […]

City Slickers Bluegrass Festival
This past Saturday, May 9th, 2009, seven of us attended the City Slickers Bluegrass Festival in Richmond, VA. How and why we came to attend will be the subject of my next post, this one will just cover the event itself. There were three headliners and one opening act. The opening act, Page […]
