No crazy stories today, I'm simultaneously working on this and some Great American Songbook scouring (Hey, "Yiddishe Momme" counts… dammit, my cutoff is 1924 and it was written in '25). Y'know, that sort of shit of being the contractor/arranger where if I were getting paid better maybe I'd take an

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MY0eeotSDi8 I promise I did not crash again, either in the Snowmageddonpocalypse that didn't drop any snow on the city (just north, like the snow game we saw in Foxboro) or the intense winds last night. No, this is to make fun of my… pottery skills! Or lack thereof, since I had

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: Clinching Scenarios

Senor Weaselo - January 3, 2024January 3, 2024

As we get to the final week of the 2023 season (even though it's 2024), we see that there are a fuck-ton of clinching scenarios in play here in Week 18. In keeping with old traditions, here's the guide to all of them: AFC:The Baltimore Ravens have clinched the top seed

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: Dashing Through the Road…

Senor Weaselo - December 27, 2023December 27, 2023

So, as we mentioned last week, Christmas Eve, or Gigsmas. A time to play all the things. Sometimes, if you're lucky, you have multiple all the things to play, which is to say give your local church organist a hug and/or the beverage of their choice (okay, I got my

Good evening. My name is Senor Weaselo, and as some of you know, I play a lot of Jewish events. Weddings, shows, other, you name it. Despite this, as the Lubovitch have found out in disbelief numerous times when they ask if I want to partake in various religious customs and

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: Pre-Christmas Filler

Senor Weaselo - December 13, 2023December 13, 2023

God, do I hate doing page layout for scores. Maestro can probably attest to that, and then argue that a jazz band is actually a sandwich. But seriously, figuring out spacing, then seeing your spacing is shit thanks to things above/below the staff, then re-spacing, then figuring out measures—actually that

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: The Tim Boyle Memorial Thread

Yes, here we are to remember notable Jets quarterback Tim Boyle, unquestionably one of the quarterbacks of all time. Who can forget that pass, and that thing, and also that Hail Mary? We laughed, we cried, we shook our head in disbelief, I shook my head in total belief because

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: Hey, I Didn’t Burn Apartment Weaselo Down!

Senor Weaselo - November 29, 2023November 29, 2023

Hermana Weaselo was supposed to come over Thursday morning and we were going to make the meats together, with Madre Weaselo's general recipe. But then she wasn't feeling great, so she had to back out and wait to come with the rest of the family Weaselo. And I have

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: …Accidental 2010s Webcomics That Are Still Going on Binge?

Senor Weaselo - November 22, 2023November 22, 2023

We survived the short work week! (Okay, fine, I'm on a gig as of publishing time.) A long football weekend awaits, though I apologize in advance for the pending Tim Boyle Experience™. (I tried to find a reference for this and got back into a Sam & Fuzzy kick, and still

It was my birthday Monday, so I guess we're doing one of those kinds of posts. (It was also The Maestro's birthday Monday, confirming the ol' "How many people does it take for two people to share the same birthday?" thought question.) So with that and my new age, it's

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: A “WW” BattleBots Beat Preview

Senor Weaselo - November 8, 2023November 8, 2023

Yeah, so due to life getting in the way, and aftermaths of life getting in the way, I admittedly didn't watch any of the Sin City Slugfests. (The great Phil Rizzuto would mark it as WW for "wasn't watching.") And that's why no BattleBots Beats these last few weeks. But,

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: Deadline Updates

DFOing Good

Senor Weaselo - November 1, 2023November 1, 2023

First off, thank you all again for all your support and well-wishes last week. I'm glad to say new car has been acquired. It is quite red, so fingers crossed that it stays okay. I'll need many years, at the least to help offset the fact that cars are expensive. It's
