Recent NYC rambles - on Saturday, I walked along 5th Avenue between 38th street and 22nd street.

It was oddly crowded for such a rainy day, but it was a pleasure to enjoy the positive energy of a boisterous group of New Yorkers.

A few photos of my NYC rambles from the last week - Coleman Hawkins, Regina Andrews, and Thich Nhat Hanh.

My Rambles took me today to Maggie's Garden, where I got the following affirmation - "I always take time to nourish my body, mind, and soul."

Getting caught up on my rambles - this is from last Tuesday, when I heard Calum Graham at St. Ann & the Holy Trinity Church in Brooklyn.

This was also my first time riding an R train.

I was at Keybar last week for the 'Your Voice is HEARD' open mic. The theme was 'You are royalty', so I was wearing the balloon crown.

Last video of Little Island (for now), and the pentatonic sound structures that anyone can play. This one is meant to be jumped on, like the scene from "Big".

Little Island. There are these cool outdoor sound structures. Note that they're tuned to the pentatonic scale... The Ontario Science Centre used to have these, until that asshole Doug Ford shut it down.

From last Tuesday's rambles - the rest of the photos from my trip to City Winery NYC to hear Leo Kottke. This is Little Island, a park and venue built on a former pier over the Hudson River.

NYC rambles - City Winery NYC and Little Island.

Sadly, I missed getting to take a photo of Mr. Kottke.

1/2, because Blue Sky will only let me post up to 4 photos at a time...

From yesterday's rambles - this is Stonewall. I took a few photos, and sent good vibes to all the LGTBQ2S+ people, past, present, and future.

Today's rambles. The Eagle Warehouse sits on the former site of the Brooklyn Eagle newspaper offices. Walt Whitman was editor of the newspaper from 1846 - 1848.

Today's rambles. I ventured towards the Brooklyn Ferry Docks, and found the traces of the first free Black neighbourhood in NYC. This was a fresh discovery for me, I look forward to exploring it further.

Today's rambles.
The former home of Rome Brothers’ Print Shop, where Whitman published the first edition of Leaves of Grass in 1855.

Today's rambles.
I found the beat-up flag attached to the hoarding around a vacant lot to be a poignant symbol of what the United States has become.

On the subway today there was a man holding a to-go cup of tea and dancing with a broom. #NYCwanderings
