Fun discovery today - 57th St.-7th Avenue is the closest station to Carnegie Hall. On my way back home, I noticed the tiles on the walls - various famous figures are celebrated with their name, their profession(s), and the date of when they first appeared at Carnegie Hall.

I fell down a hobbit-hole* of recordings of Petra Haden, Alison Krauss, and Lady Moon this week.
*I know the standard term is 'rabbit hole', but this is a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort.

And for those of you wondering what I was doing down where the streets have names - I went to the Fountain Pen Hospital to drop off a Lamy with a caligraphic nib that wasn't writing very well, and went back today to pick it up. It fills my heart with joy to know that places like this still exist!

emmettpalaima.com/CHAMBERS-HUM A new New York discovery for me - I've known about the Hum at Times Square (though I haven't checked it out yet), but I'd never heard of the Hum at the Chambers Street station on the A and C lines. First time I've ever got out and encountered it!

I have nothing but respect for the L.A. Dodgers and their pitcher, Yoshinobu Yamamoto. They are formidable opponents!!
That being said, I believe that is all it will take for the Toronto Blue Jays to win the World Series is play their best, both as individuals and as a team. Let's go, Blue Jays!!!

It was two years ago today that I released my album "Old Enough to Know Better".
You can still check it out on YouTube at this link, along with the videos from the five singles - youtu.be/symLzEM_DqY?...
It's also on Apple Music, and I still have a few copies of the physical CD left for sale.

Listening to the baseball game always reminds me of my Dad. When he went blind in the early 1980s, baseball was one of the few sports that he could still follow because the radio commentary was so good.
Been thinking of him a lot in the last few weeks as the Blue Jays chase the dream again...

I just listened to this fantastic album last night!
For anyone in the NYC area, Dave Bainbridge and Sally Minnear are playing at The Cutting Room, opening for Mike Keneally and Beer For Dolphins, along with Matt Dorsey.
One of the best albums I've heard in a while now!!

Veg. chili, cornbread, and the Blue Jays winning again against the New York Yankees - that's a sweet way to end a weekend!
(First grand slam in Blue Jays playoff history?!? I'd have thought between George Bell, Paul Molitor, John Olerud, Roberto Alomar, and Jose Bautista that happened ages ago!)

Thelonius the Piano gets tuned once a year - that means I have to clear the top of it off. And every year, for a couple of days, I enjoy the sound with the lid up.
Appreciating the tone quality also allows me to ignore my bad playing for a time... :D

Yesterday was a day that makes me proud to be Canadian. Not because of what we've accomplished, but because of what we are trying to do. Certainly the work of reconciliation is not finished, but it has begun.
