IRMA is off the coast of Cuba…

But I’ll be in Central Park today!!!

Hey guys… we’re all hoping for the best down south for everyone in the path of Irma. She is heading toward Florida for landfall tomorrow morning.

But here in New York City, it’s looking just a little better than perfect for another “typically amazing” day of music and laughs, thoughts and stories… that “It’s Just Us” feeling. So I’ll be heading out to “The Hill” with my guitar. I’ll start at the usual time — probably crank up around 1:00 and play until 5:30 or 6:00. (Or until I fall over.)

Here’s a map to show you exactly where!

IF YOU’RE NOT IN NYC!

We’ll start streaming LIVE from the park for the rest of the world at 3:00 eastern time. Join us on Concert Window!

Join us if you feel like it. There’s a chat room so you can make requests or just chat with the other people hanging out! All you hafta do is log-in and join us. Go to the Concert Window and set it up right now, okay? (Don’t be spooked by the “credit card” thing. We’ve been doing this for over a year. It’s safe and it really, really does cost you as little or a much as you wanna pay. Whatever you want.)

Then just click on this banner and then log-in a little before…

3:00 eastern — 2:00 central — 1:00 mountain — 12:00 pacific

Before I get to anything else… let’s share this song!!! Thanks for singing it with me in the park, but please share the link for the video with everyone you know.

I need YOU to share it all across the country and around the world. Share it on Facebook. Share it on Twitter and Instagram. Share it with your neighbors and friends.

OKAY — there’s lots of fun stuff further down the page.

Our regular photographer friends were not out on “The Hill” last weekend. So here are some images from other weekends.

Here are a few shots from another weekend.

If YOU have any photos or video from this past Saturday, please shoot them to me on Facebook, okay?

Thank YOU for showing up. If you’re new around here… WELCOME! If you don’t follow me on Facebook, go there now and then keep checking back.

I know. I know. For reasonable, sane people this is another tough week. But we’re in it together and we have work to do. Today I’m gonna share a feel good video from our “Year End Concert” at Merkin Concert Hall here in New York City last December.

First, the concert video…

Today, I find myself sitting on top of 3 incredible Creative projects that seem to be exploding into the world as I’m writing this: the new play “The Green Room” – the video for the song “Dreamers Like Me” – and the Creation of a NEW MUSICAL… which is the off-spring of the workshopped musical “Possibility Junkie”.

Here are a few images from the recent concert, captured by our photographers friends David Hayase and Sean Friedman.

I’m still living this Life with open arms and Love, but ZERO tolerance for people who voted for or continue to support the abomination that is Donald J Trump. As the song says, “I hope they feel like joining us someday.” but until that day, the rest of us have work to do!!!

ROCK ON!

We plan on releasing at least 2 different versions of this song..

There’s always lots of really current and fun stuff on FACEBOOK, too. You can send a friend request and join me over there: https://www.facebook.com/david.thatguitarman

Cool?

Thanks so much for hangin’ out.

This weekend…

THE ANSWER IS “YES”!!!

(See you in the park on TOMORROW.)

Hey guys… we’re all hoping for the best down south for everyone in the path of Irma. She is probably going to be off the coast of Cuba tomorrow morning… heading toward Florida for landfall on Sunday.

But here in New York City, it’s looking just a little better than perfect for another “typically amazing” day of music and laughs, thoughts and stories… that “It’s Just Us” feeling. So I’ll be heading out to “The Hill” with my guitar. I’ll start at the usual time — probably crank up around 1:00 and play until 5:30 or 6:00. (Or until I fall over.)

We did it again….

This past Saturday!

No kidding. THANK YOU! This is a tough and challenging time for me personally, but it’s a tough time for all of us… nationally. It’s been a tough time for all decent people everywhere. But we hung together in Central Park this weekend… and the feeling was incredible.

AND OF COURSE… WE DID “HOT DOG DAY” again!!! It’s just my way of saying “Thank You” to every single person who’s ever hung out with me for even one day. It’s nuts… but I love it. And this weekend, our new friend Carole jumped in on a couple of songs written by another Carole. (Carole King) Frankie sang a couple of songs. (Neither of our regular photographers could make it this weekend. So if YOU have any photos, please send them to me and I’ll post them, okay?)

But really… for me… the star of the day was YOU. Thank you to every single on of you who showed up in person or online in Concert Window.

2 special things…

HANG OUT WITH ME TODAY!

Okay… looks like we’re having a wonderfully cool, autumn-like day to hang together at “The Hill” in Central Park. So I’ll take off my shoes, put my guitar on my shoulder again and see where the day goes. My best guess is… it will be another typically amazing day. If you’re gonna be here in town I hope I see you out there. I’ll crank up around 1:00 and play until 5:00 or 6:00… or until I fall over.

NOW THE FIRST SPECIAL THING: ON LONG HOLIDAY WEEKENDS I’VE GOT A LITTLE TRADITION… SOMETHING KINDA CRAZY AND SPECIAL. SO TRY TO AT LEAST BE THERE AROUND 3:00!!!

Here’s a map to show you exactly where!

AND THE SECOND SPECIAL THING: If you live someplace else or just can’t get to the park, you can hang wit us LIVE right here on your computer. But… WE’LL DO IT AT A SPECIAL TIME THIS WEEK. We’ll start the LIVE stream a half hour early at 2:30 (eastern) okay? We’ll do that to make room for the other crazy thing.

Join us if you feel like it. There’s a chat room so you can make requests or just chat with the other people hanging out! All you hafta do is log-in and join us. Go to the Concert Window and set it up right now, okay? (Don’t be spooked by the “credit card” thing. We’ve been doing this for over a year. It’s safe and it really, really does cost you as little or a much as you wanna pay. Whatever you want.)

Then just click on this banner and then log-in a little before…

2:30 eastern — 1:30 central — 12:30 mountain — 11:30am pacific

But before I get to anything else… let’s share this song!!!

I need YOU to share it all across the country and around the world. Share it on Facebook. Share it on Twitter and Instagram. Share it with your neighbors and friends.

Okay images from the summer so far!!!

Here are a few shots from another weekend.

If YOU have any photos or video from this past Saturday, please shoot them to me on Facebook, okay?

https://www.facebook.com/david.thatguitarman

MAYBE WE’LL HAFTA REVIVE THIS SONG FOR THE SUMMER!! Remember… this is the first summer of “The Trump Nightmare”.

OH!!! By the way… I am raising money again for the “Permit Fund”. It’s just something I do every year if you feel like being a part of the gig and helping to take care of some of the overhead involved in getting out to Central Park on Saturdays throughout the summer. All of the permit fees are paid for… the Special Events Permits and the Sound Device Permits from the NYPD. But… if you think you would like to help out in that regard, every year I do a little something called the “Permit Fund”. (It’s only there if you can afford to help and if you feel like it.)

I know. I know. For reasonable, sane people this is another tough week. But we’re in it together and we have work to do. Today I’m gonna share a feel good video from our “Year End Concert” at Merkin Concert Hall here in New York City last December.

Are you like me?

Staying in town this weekend?

Okay… we’re gonna hafta keep our eyes on the radar to see what kind of day we’re gonna have tomorrow weather-wise. But I think it’s gonna be wonderfully cool, autumn-like day to hang together at “The Hill” in Central Park. Check back in the morning, okay? I’ll take off my shoes, put my guitar on my shoulder again and see what happens. My best guess is… it will be another typically amazing day. If you’re gonna be here in town I hope I see you out there. I’ll crank up around 1:00 and play until 5:00 or 6:00… or until I fall over.
