On this night, The Wilder Blue & John Baumann performed a blend of classics and originals that recalled Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, or the Doobie Brothers.

Some of my favorite music would be Miles Davis’s “Kind of Blue,” “John Coltrane and Johnny Hartman,” “Identity” by Airto Moreira, “Band of Gypsys,” Cassandra Wilson, the Beatles, the Stones.

Among other, less familiar stories are two classics of what is sometimes dubbed “cryptofiction”: Jack London’s tall-tale “A Relic of the Pliocene” and Arthur Conan Doyle’s pathos-laden “The Terror of Blue John Gap.”

Think of the elf dad from last year’s “Onward,” who looked kind of like a hot, blue John Krasinski, or Riley’s dad from “Inside Out,” whose mustache and five o’clock shadow once inspired a very frisky Buzzfeed article.

At home, even the guest level has a shiny blue John McCracken painting over the bed and a Dan Flavin light piece in the hall, adjacent to a heavy, translucent Roni Horn sculpture that required reinforcing the floor.
