Waffles, Boyfriends

November 28, 2022 ~ Greg McGarvey ~ Leave a comment

June 8. Wedding in ten days. Walked five miles up the canal to my [current] favorite cafĂ©. Feet hurting, so I’m taking an extended break. Catching up with Laura in Carrboro and Nick in Newtown. Asking Andy Keenan if he wants to record sad songs in my studio. I probably already asked him that. If … Continue reading Waffles, Boyfriends

We Like The Way You Make Us Dream

October 31, 2022January 11, 2023 ~ Greg McGarvey ~ Leave a comment

“Excuse me, sir. Do you know anything about where you are?” I collide with some stumbly, spirited women on the towpath. I point them toward downtown. These hills get spooky. The mansion on the hill’s not the one that I remember from before. It’s the only thing I can see other than the waves illuminated … Continue reading We Like The Way You Make Us Dream

New Hope/The Old Magic

June 7, 2022November 28, 2022 ~ Greg McGarvey ~ Leave a comment

June 7. Wedding in eleven days. Walked two miles down the canal. Moseyed down the hill into New Hope and got a mysterious blue drink from a handsome young man who was playing Kurt Vile on his sound system. Two different bars are directly in front of me. To the right is the bar where … Continue reading New Hope/The Old Magic

I’ve got to take a chance

June 6, 2022November 27, 2022 ~ Greg McGarvey

June 6. Wedding in twelve days. Out back eating buttered bread, drinking seltzer, killing nymph spotted lanternflies with a wooden coaster which depicts sassy frogs getting ready for a night out on the town. Guy walking by playing harmonica slowly and sweetly. Got dress shoes and a wedding ring in the mail yesterday. Not used … Continue reading I’ve got to take a chance

this is my wedding gift to you

June 2, 2022November 27, 2022 ~ Greg McGarvey

I'm sitting on a bench in the forest, facing the reservoir. An old woman appears. She asks me, "are you an angel?" I say I do not know. She asks me if I serve God. I told her I am an artist. She asked what I draw. I said songs. She asked me to sing … Continue reading this is my wedding gift to you

Trains At Night

October 20, 2021November 28, 2022 ~ Greg McGarvey ~ Leave a comment

On the back porch with three citronella candles, a cream-colored hoodie, and a full moon. There is a chocolate almond croissant and red wine is about 37% likely to happen. We don’t know if there are more trains at night or it just seems that way because the rest of the town quiets down. It’s … Continue reading Trains At Night

Four Songs Away From Greatness

June 17, 2021November 28, 2022 ~ Greg McGarvey ~ Leave a comment

I’ve been hanging out with those red-eyed cicadas lately. I live near Princeton University, so I go into town to grab a coffee and read a book in one of about a hundred perfect reading spots. Park for free at the municipal lot. Don’t give that town any more money! There’s even a set of … Continue reading Four Songs Away From Greatness

June 25, 2020November 27, 2022 ~ Greg McGarvey

there was an AM radio station that i found while i was walking home along the Delaware. after work, i'd go on the roof with my radio in the middle of the night and listen while i stared at the sky, watching it slowly morph, obscured just a little bit by the many giant pine … Continue reading the unknown DJ
