  • The Grascals at Birchmere

    Last night we saw The Grascals at the Birchmere. It was our second time seeing them live. I covered the first time extensively in this post (2/3 of the way down), and all but one comment from that post applied to last night! The one comment that would require updating is that they […]

  • Wonderful Weekend Wedding

    Heretofore, whenever I saw the letters WWW, I inevitably thought World Wide Web. From now on, when I see WWW, I’ll think Wonderful Weekend Wedding! We have incredible godchildren who’ve brought many blessings into our lives. Among these is the wide circle of wonderful people attracted to them, who’ve become life-long friends of […]

  • Girlyman at Birchmere

    Last night was our 13th time seeing Girlyman live. The last time we saw them was the only time we took no guests. Last night, we set a new record (previously 19 at Highline Ballroom). Including us, we purchased 26 tickets for last night’s show. Two of our expected guests missed their flight […]

  • Keith Urban and Sugarland at MSG

    Thursday was a very big night for our musical tastes in NYC. Our favorite band, Girlyman, was in town playing in our favorite club, Joe’s Pub. The Paper Raincoat (playing under the top-secret moniker Cardboard Bikini) was playing at Rockwood Music Hall. The group that has been opening for most of Girlyman’s shows […]

  • 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 […]

Thanks for stopping by…
