Jones Beach
It was a Quadruple Threat: Lucinda Williams, Bob Dylan, Wilco and Willie Nelson. That’s rich. Catching performances from senior artists is time sensitive. Let’s just be real. I’m getting older. They are too. Go when you can. Take it all in. Cherish them even when they don’t sing your favorite song. And hugs to Jones Beach — my home-away-from-home — for the nostalgia and for still being there too. ❤️
Let’s Chat
Chat helped me smooth out emails — I could see how they were clearer, more digestible. It allowed me the opportunity to study unfavorable patterns in my writing which I could improve on my own if I chose. So that’s good. But what will AI mean for wonder? Or for kids looking out car windows trying to imagine how the world works?
Grammy Time
It appears that the re-imagining of “What a Girl Wants,” performed by Christina Aguilera and Sabrina Carpenter for Spotify’s 25th Anniversary is ‘nominat-able’ in the category of Best Pop Duo or Group Performance for the 2026 Grammy Awards. It’s a thrill to have had these two powerhouse songstresses from two completely different generations bring the song back into the spotlight with the soulful accompaniment of superb LIVE musicians. 😀😀😀
The Bluebird Re-Re Visited
The Bluebird is an intimate forum. It’s all about The Songs…played acoustically. No tracks or recorded loops. Much of the audience has never been there before and they travel from all over the country and from across the pond to experience the legendary venue. They were excited, engaged and ALL EARS. It’s the best place to play.
Carmy Does Bruce
All things considered, I AM looking forward to seeing ‘Deliver Me From Nowhere.’ Jeremy has his work cut out for him and as much as I’m anticipating the cringe, you just never know. 🍿🍿🍿
