  • Dave Mason at Tarrytown Music Hall

    Last night was our eighth concert at Tarrytown Music Hall, and our third Dave Mason show (first one at the Hall). I covered the previous shows extensively here and here. To summarize the things that were the same: Dave Mason is beyond awesome. His voice is still amazing, and his fingers move across […]

  • theSet NYC at Le Poisson Rouge

    A month ago, I posted about a wonderful weekend that included catching Altar Boyz at New World Stages. As a result (I assume) I received an email from Pim, a member of the team that founded theSet NYC. theSet NYC is a great idea. Collect a group of talented performers and promote a […]

  • Girlyman at Highline Ballroom

    For those keeping score, and I know that there are scores of you doing so, 😉 last night was the 11th time we’ve seen Girlyman perform live (the second time at the Highline Ballroom). In addition to owning their four CDs, we also purchase the recordings of each show we see live (and […]

  • 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. […]

  • Make the Time

    Lois and I have been, and continue to be blessed, in many ways. At or near the top of that list is the amazing group of friends that we have. Individually and collectively, they bring us immeasurable joy, and expand our horizons with each interaction. I know that many people lead busy, complicated […]

  • Girlyman at Barns at Wolf Trap

    Another night, another fabulous Girlyman concert. Same old, same old, blah blah blah. Right? Wrong! 🙂 So, I just covered their April Fool’s NYC show at Joe’s Pub extensively in this post the other day. I’ll try not to be too repetitious, but I will highlight some of the similarities. I mentioned in […]

  • Colin Hay at Birchmere

    Last night we saw Colin Hay for the first time at Birchmere. I’ve known a lot of his famous songs for nearly 30 years, but I never knew his name, nor even knew that he was the leader of Men At Work. In fact, more often than not, when I mention to someone […]

  • Girlyman at Joe’s Pub

    I know I’m boring my regular readers by repeating that Girlyman is my favorite group. At least you now that this continues to be the case. 😉 Last night was the ninth time that we’ve seen them perform live, and the fourth time we’ve seen them at Joe’s Pub, our favorite club. We […]

  • 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. There were significant snow flurries in NYC (nothing stuck), and the navigation system on the airplane was unable to make an instrument […]

  • Jerry Jeff Walker at BB King

    A year ago we took seven people (plus the two of us) to see Jerry Jeff Walker at BB King’s in NYC. I wrote about that wonderful evening in this post. The stars aligned for us again this year, as we had company staying with us for the weekend, they love live music, […]
