Saturday was a busy and fun day – saw the Blues for Smoke exhibit at the Whitney, met rtb, violaleeblue, her friend R, and mollyT for drinks at Gallow Green, and then we headed off (without mollyT) to Irving Plaza. A night of blues/rock was the perfect complement to the Whitney exhibit. Outside the tour […]
While on the second floor of the Whitney, I saw that a movie was playing. Bruce Conner’s The White Rose is a short film detailing the removal of Jay DeFeo’s “The Rose” from her apartment. I had seen the “The Rose” at the Whitney a few years ago at a Beat art show. I found […]
There was an exhibit at the Whitney Museum of American Art that I wanted to see and another at the Met. Deciding that I can only afford one, I went to the Whitney since Blues for Smoke was closing the next day. It was a beautiful spring day and crossing Park Avenue was not only […]
Just before the last song I turned to rtb and said, “Why aren’t we following the Carolina Chocolate Drops around the country?” and rtb didn’t know why. It’s a mystery – this is a band I’d happily give my life to. mollyT said that YouTube does not prepare you for just how great this band […]
Foot-stomping, singing along, musicians in the crowd – an all-acoustic evening of Americana and post-punk. The Revival Tour hit the Bell House and all of Brooklyn was rocking. This is my second year seeing the Revival Tour and my only disappointment is that I didn’t know about this sooner. Chuck Ragan leads a band of […]
Sometimes, just some times, when you are good then good things happen to you. Mrs. Devereaux had tickets for Emmylou Harris and Rodney Crowell with Richard Thompson opening at the Beacon Theatre and she gave one to me. So I got to spend an evening with a lovely person, in a wonderful venue, listening to […]
New (to me) venue, new (to me) band, favorite band, and good friends – I was hoping this evening out would be the cure to my curious sleeping sickness. A combination of physical and mental ailments have prevented me from getting any rest or my sleeping at odd hours or from even leaving the house […]
Michael Dorf has done it again. Another wonderful tribute concert at Carnegie Hall to raise money for music arts education. This time he gathered musicians together for a tribute to the music of Prince. One thing that became very clear – Prince’s music is so over-the-top fantastic that it almost doesn’t matter who is singing, […]
The last time we were at City Winery, Mrs. Devereaux mentioned that she’d be back in February to see Teddy Thompson and his cover band Poundcake doing mostly rockabilly. The name Teddy Thompson was enough for me to say I’ll join you. (By the way, if you Google Poundcake they are not the grunge/metal band.) […]
Second night with my boyfriend Eddie Izzard as he works on his routine for his upcoming Force Majeure world tour. Before the show rtb and I met up again at NoHo Star and it was very busy. We were happy to see that because the last time we were there the place was very empty […]
