Periodically, I'll see this couple pop up on Instagram doing these very stripped down covers of 70s songs ("Goodbye Yellow Brick Road", "Rich Girl", "Movin' Out") with great harmonies. Just last week I saw one again and it actually prompted me to see if I could find any full versions on YouTube Music. Then, Monday, I got an ad for the couple doing a show in NYC. I've never been a huge fan of live music, but I've been more isolated than usual lately, so I clicked through and found the venue was two blocks from my apartment and tickets were all of $20.

I still went back and forth on it, but eventually bought a ticket. Went last night (the couple's band's name is Wendlo) and it was nice. I actually liked the opener even better than the main event. A solo singer-songwriter, Georgia Parker. Didn't get any videos of her, but I really loved the song she opened with: Pit Stop. Sort of stung hearing it; there's a line: "I met someone new he is kinder than you are / But that isn't that hard to do" which I don't like to imagine people I've known justly saying about me.

Full disclosure: this post is largely just to test my improved video upload tools which should also send the video to my Bluesky and Mastodon accounts...
