  • Keith Urban and Carrie Underwood at Madison Square Garden

    Lois and I have never watched a complete episode of American Idol, and the only time we’ve even seen a reasonable portion of one was at our godson’s apartment, the night that Jordin Sparks won. So, we didn’t know Carrie Underwood from that show (though, of course, we knew of her). We fell […]

  • Rascal Flatts at Madison Square Garden

    Last night we finally saw Rascal Flatts at Madison Square Garden (MSG). I have written a number of times about the company that owns MSG (and also Radio City Music Hall and The Beacon Theater). That company is a subsidiary of Cablevision. They run their concerts like clockwork, and I think that is […]

  • Bill Cooley Now More Accessible

    I am very happy to announce that Bill Cooley now has a MySpace page. I have raved about Bill ever since seeing him live with Kathy Mattea at Joe’s Pub. The only problem was that spreading the word about how great this guy is was difficult, because his CDs weren’t as easy to […]

  • Acoustic Guitar Update

    This is another long post, so bail now, while you can, or grab a cup of coffee (to keep you awake). 😉 Actually, the post itself isn’t insanely long, but if you watch each of the videos that I’ve linked it, the entire trip will take a while… I’ve gone on and on […]

  • No Longer a Digital Download Virgin

    In this post, which I just published a few minutes ago, I mention that I just purchased Acoustic Sketches by Phil Keaggy. In that post I said that I would write separately about how/where I purchased that “CD”. This is that tale… I have purposely avoided the seduction of purchasing music for downloading […]

  • Last Headphone Post for the Year

    I promise! 🙂 I know how incredibly subjective all of this nonsense is, and that I’m not an audiophile, so I don’t even know what to listen for, and probably couldn’t hear it if I knew. But, still, I can’t resist, since Lois found a bag of my old headphones today, so I […]

  • Experimenting with Bit Rates in Ripping CDs

    In this post, I discussed my new Grado headphones. In that post, as well as this one, I mentioned that I am most definitely not an audiophile. The new Grados were so far superior to the crappy ear buds included with the iPods that I started to question my choice of ripping all […]

  • The Wailin’ Jennys at Gravity Lounge

    We’re in the middle our usual Zope Trip, which involves a weekend in Virginia. We typically spend the weekend with our friends. They were on a 10-day trip cruising from Italy to Greece, and were scheduled to return late last night (they did). On Friday afternoon, during a lull in the workday, I […]

  • Bromberg and Angel Band at Paramount Theater

    This past Saturday night, we went to see David Bromberg and Angel Band (David’s wife’s group) perform at the Paramount Theater in Peekskill, NY. If you’ve read my previous posts, you know that David Bromberg is one of my all-time favorite live performers. In September 2006, I saw him again at BB King […]

  • Girlyman at Highline Ballroom

    Last night finally came, our long-awaited second live concert seeing Girlyman. They performed at the Highline Ballroom. We had never been there before, and only found about it from the Girlyman mailing list. It’s owned by the same people that own the Blue Note and BB King, both places that we love to […]
