See you LIVE online this Saturday
We were denied the permit for this weekend. So further down the page I’ll tell you what I’m thinking about this coming Saturday.
Last Saturday we began another season of music at “The Hill”! Here are a few moments from our first day in Central Park 2022.
It was another “typically amazing” day. We’ll talk about when we get together LIVE on “It’s Just Us”.
“It’s Just Us”
Hey listen! The Parks Department denied our permit for this weekend. But for everyone in NYC and all of you across the country and around the world… we’re still hangin’ out LIVE twice a week. On Wednesdays, “It’s Just Us” goes LIVE at 4:00 (eastern).
But since we don’t have a permit for this coming Saturday, I’m thinking about doing a special evening edition. Check back and I’ll let you know once I decide on a start time. I know it’s tough on our friends across the ocean. But 3:00 on a summer Saturday afternoon is ridiculous for New Yorkers.
We always stream LIVE from my studio in The Heights on the days we’re not at “The Hill” so check back. Might be a “SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE” edition…. maybe around 7:00 0r 8:00 eastern.

We started doing it at the onset of the pandemic, but it’s so much fun and we’ve made so many wonderful friends that we’re gonna keep it going. COME JOIN US!

Thanks for being in the audience
Last year we took a run at a magnificent theatrical experiment and a lot of were a part of it… maybe the most important part. The audience. I assembled a cast of Tony Award winners, veteran actors, exciting newcomers… just incredible artists to do a LIVE online reading of this audacious script. (Chuck Cooper, Austin Pendleton, Jillian Louis, Teresa Reynolds, Jamal Thomas, David Andino, Paul Olson — stage directions read by Gretchen Cryer)
Looks like this play has found a few Creative champions to move it to Broadway, probably later this year. It will be my first on Broadway and kick the door open for a few other plays and musicals. I’ll let you all know!!!
After the reading that night we’ll all retreated back to my Facebook page for comments and discussion. It was very cool. Before that, during the height of the pandemic, we enjoyed a LIVE reading of my newest play “GREEN ROOM”.
Many of you know I’ve been making a transition from a Life as a songwriter to a career as a playwright. I feels like the time is right to sit in the dark with you guys and allow my characters to help hasten the day that “religion” becomes a memory for the human race. A percentage of my work is always dedicated to that goal… but I have my own fun way of making that a reality one day.
WHAT A RIDE!
WE ALL CREATE TOGETHER
Over the course of the past 2+ years we started to Create music videos together… to help keep us sane and connected. Here’s one of the most recent videos that a bunch of you jumped in on.

Even though our entire season in Central Park was canceled in 2020 and shortened in ’21… we’re making some new and exciting things happen in 2022.
No kidding. Last summer was an abbreviated and very weird season in Central Park, but it was another year I had the privilege of being “That Guitar Man from Central Park”. I wanna sincerely thank every single one of you who showed up, even for one day out there at “The Hill” You make me feel like the luckiest man alive. Here are a whole bunch of photos from our 2019 season.
JUST A FEW MOMENTS
Incredible. I love this town!!! I’m such a lucky man!
Every week we turn the path into a dance floor.
I’m still consistently amazed. Every time… just blown away by what I get to do with a guitar on my shoulder.
Music, laughs, stories, thoughts, feelings…
I WANNA SAY “THANK YOU” TO EVERYONE WHO HELPS MAKE MY LIFE AS AN ARTIST AS WONDERFUL AS IT IS. NOW…
Please visit my Facebook page and leave comments on anything you want, 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’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 TRUMPISM. As my song says, “I hope they feel like joining us someday.” But until that day, the rest of us have work to do!!!
ROCK ON!
Thanks so much for hangin’ out.
