This site was fun for a while, and it helped me focus on things other than my own problems for a while, but I no longer have the need to add my voice to the tens of millions of individuals out there who keep up blogs and the like.
Best regards to you all.
Be good to […]

I need to let out some frustration. I apologized this morning in an email for whining about being sick, but this is my bloggy, so I can act as undignified as I like. Isn’t that what the web is for, after all?
Here goes…
Why the hell did I have to get sick? What the hell? Seriously, […]
Dreamboat and Lara Ewen And The Unstrung Orchestra performed at Spike Hill in Williamsburg on November 1, and it’s been a couple of days since I saw them and I am supposed to be cleaning my apartment, so what better thing to do than to sit down and write.
Dreamboat is Kelli Rae Powell and Craig […]

Gratitude comes in strange shapes and sizes. In my case, appreciation comes in a bulleted list.

The street cats of Williamsburg
Foodswings
Live music
Fearless Artists
Naked Mud Music
The woman on the L Train who thanked me for giving her my seat. That was one of the sweetest “thank yous” I have received in […]

Dress as dead ringer for Buddy Holly, and when people approach me and guess if I’m dressed as Buddy Holly, I bark back at them, jabbing my finger, acting like a jerk…
“I’m not your buddy…holly.”
If they think I’m Elvis Costello, then it makes this costume a two-for-one deal.
Now that I have told you my costume […]

Hope Nunnery, Me, and Devon Sproule
Back on October 7, I took the LIRR out to Stony Brook University to see Devon Sproule for the third time in a week. This might sound a bit obsessive, but it was nothing pathological or odd. Until you’ve seen Devon Sproule perform her music, you have no idea why […]

My father died on October 24 in 1986. My son was six months old, and I was only then starting to appreciate what my father had meant to me. He suffered a massive heart attack at work. My mother was spared the physical reality of his death.
Dean Matthew Caldwell was a good father and a […]
Music has been a steady companion lately. I should emphasize that it’s been good music. Moving to Williamsburg last month was a good excuse to get out more often. I’d fallen into a rut of work and not much else, but once I was living within a few minutes of Pete’s Candy Store and other […]
Today I received the bad news that my crashed external hard drive is probably damaged beyond repair. I used the drive as my back-up drive, so I have lost a lot of material. I’ve also lost the storage of all of my music. Damn.
I wrote a song to help along the healing process. I strive […]
Bullet Points for Health and Happiness
The following is a list of people, events, art, and what-nots that have infused this little soul of mine with joy, bliss, happiness, goodness, and a certain amount of holy-shit-that-was-awesome-ness. In no particular order, then…

M. Shanghai String Band
Kelli Rae Powell
Sweet Soubrette
Erin and Her Cello
