  • Puppet Masters

    We’re spending the long weekend in Birmingham, AL with our godson. We picked up a mutual friend of ours (Wes) in Durham on our way down here on Wednesday. Yesterday was one of our godson’s typical on call days, where he is in the hospital for 30+ hours in a row. As sad […]

  • Rhonda Vincent at Birchmere

    Last night we saw Rhonda Vincent and The Rage perform at Birchmere. We’ve seen them once before at Joe’s Pub, and I wrote about it here. I concluded that post with the following paragraph: We had a great time, and would definitely see her again given the chance. We’d also go back to […]

  • Sweet Bitters at Googies

    Last night we saw Sweet Bitters perform at Googies. We’ve seen Sweet Bitters once before, at Pete’s Candy Store in Brooklyn, and I shared my thoughts about that show in this post. Last night was not just a normal show, but rather a fund-raiser, to help Sweet Bitters put together enough money to […]

  • Girlyman at Joe’s Pub

    Last night was our eighth Girlyman concert. It was the third time we’ve seen them at Joe’s Pub (where it all began). The other five shows were spread out over five venues, in two states, in five cities, with vast differences between the venues and at times, the audience makeup as well. These […]

  • Image Rich Lyrics

    There are two kinds of great songwriters in the world: those that can tell stories in easy to grasp (yet captivating) words, and those that can paint the richest canvas with image-laden words. Of course, there are many super-great songwriters who can do both equally well, and move between the two at will. […]

  • Jack Kapanka

    A few weeks ago, I wrote two posts about a website I was working on for a new friend. Neither of those posts is really germane to this one, but for reference, they were here and here. Those were techie posts, this is not, other than repeating how we came to discover Jack […]

  • Girlyman at Golding Park Cafe

    For the few people who follow me on Twitter (I have a private feed, so there aren’t many), they knew something was up yesterday when I tweeted the following: Heading out for a long and secret adventure with Laura and Chris. Back around 1am, blog tomorrow! 😉 So mysterious. Now the mystery can […]

  • 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 […]

  • 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 […]

  • Girlyman at Birchmere

    This time around, we only had to wait a day to see Girlyman again. I’m glad to say we made it. 😉 While Gravity Lounge is a small, intimate place, Birchmere is cavernous. The other difference is that Gravity Lounge is concert style seating (everyone facing the stage) and Birchmere is dining table […]
