Long day ended
It’s been a day of endless small details, dropped server connections, lost tax numbers and a numb backside from sitting at the computer. Uploads, downloads, emails, answered and unanswered phone calls. Not a musical day. Not even a thoughtful day.
There are guitars hanging on the wall of my small studio. I walk by it dozens [...]
The Big Smoke
My dear friend has a new apartment since last I visited her. It’s a treehouse, so I’m over looking the neighbourhood which is drenched with sun. Fellow birds chirp.
…that was yesterday – today it’s a very different story with the rain pelting down on this treehouse. I thank the gods it has a roof and [...]
A brush of air
Regard the picture above. It’s the inside photo of Greytown, and it is largely untouched (photographically speaking – I’m often moved to pat it affectionately, but that’s for another day).
There was a bit if a fuss over the decision to not airbrush it. When I nixed it and had the CDs in hand, more than one [...]
Crosswalks IDs
My morning agenda included errands, and lots of them. Post office, bank, shoe store, drug store, grocery store, and liquor store (every afternoon should feature Prosecco or some equally satisfying apertif). In addition to these run of the mill tasks, I threw in having a key cut.
I drove to do my errands. I would have [...]
A shot in the arm
Who’s getting the vaccine and who isn’t? Consider this:
David Suzuki is a yes: Anne Murray is a no. Suzuki wonders why anyone would think they know more than scientists. Murray feels that lots of Purell is the answer.
I’ve been an admirer of Anne Murray since I was a gloomy adolescent – she was the Voice, if [...]
Personal?
A blogging pal suggests I get personal here. That’s about as personal as I can get in this point in my blogging trajectory. To say that I have a blogging pal. She’s actually a long-time friend (who blogs) with whom I reconnected after years of not seeing her. No particular reason for that – just [...]
End of October, more hospital rant
Not sure anyone’s reading this, so it won’t matter that I say that I’m dressing up like a honeybee tonight. Hallowe’en, and the first costume party I’ve attended for a very long time.
I tried on the costume (I wore it in ‘06 for a breast cancer fund raiser, and I was damned if I was [...]
Where is this Greytown?
First, Peg Britton nailed the photo location as Paris. Not surprising to me – Peg’s got a great big brain. Good heart, too. Her blog comes from Ellsworth, Kansas (our connection? Hometown of John Reischman’s mother, and when Peg discovered this, she invited us to play there. Thus began a ten year or more friendship [...]
Show at the Carleton
I’m glad to tell you that I’m doing a solo show next year at the Carleton Hotel in Halifax. This is a great little place, not only for listening, but for actually hearing. Instead of monolithic speakers squeezing into the stage, great hunks of wires and grills around which you hope to find the right [...]
