“It’s Just Us”… Thursday this week

Here we go. 2022 was a year in which I saw some of my dreams begin to materialize. A couple of my plays are moving… one of them, to Broadway in 2023.

Well… I got a good running start, so during this next lap around the Sun we’re gonna kick the door down. Thanks to each and every one of you who showed up for the music, the laughs, the stories… the time and the Life we shared in Central Park, at “The Something’th Annual Year End Concert” and LIVE online all year. We’ll keep hangin’ out LIVE twice a week with sweet people from all across the country and different parts of the world on “It’s Just Us”.

Quick Comment — 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!!!

“It’s Just Us”

At the onset of the pandemic years ago, we created a casual music hang that streamed LIVE twice a week. Since then it’s grown into a beautiful, little community of fun people from all across the country and different parts of the world.

We usually go LIVE on Wednesday at 4:00 and either Saturday or Sunday at 3:00 (eastern). THIS WEEK the stream is on Thursday. When you join us at Patreon for whatever you’d like to pay, you automatically get email notification about every time we get together. It’s easy and it’s really pretty cool.

As a fiercely independent artist, I had to figure out a way to keep my head above water with these online gigs. So if you wanna help out, you can throw as much or as little as you want through PayPal.

Seriously… thank you.

Thanks for Another Year

We did it again at “The Hill” in Central Park. It was another year of music and laughs, stories and thoughts and feelings, incredible moments and… and Love.

Thanks for being in the audience

Last year we took a run at an audacious theatrical experiment and a lot of you were the most important part of it… the audience. I assemble a cast of Tony Award-winners, veteran actors, exciting newcomers… just incredible artists to do a LIVE online reading of one of my scripts that’s now moving forward. (Chuck Cooper, Austin Pendleton, Jillian Louis, Teresa Reynolds, Jamal Thomas, David Andino, Paul Olson — stage directions read by Gretchen Cryer.)

This play is finding its Creative champions to bring it to Life in this coming year. It will kick the door open for several other scripts.

Before the reading of “Jack Flew” at the heights of the pandemic, we mounted a LIVE online reading of my newest play, “THE GREEN ROOM”. As many of you know, I feel the time has come for me to make the transition from a Life as a songwriter to a career as a playwright… to get off the stage, sit in the dark with all of you, and allow my characters to speak to the world. Perhaps I can help hasten the day when “religion” is a curious, dark memory for the human race. (I have my own fun way of helping to achieve that goal!)

WE ALL CREATE TOGETHER

During the years of the pandemic I figured out a way to Create music videos in which everyone on “It’s Just Us” could participate. What a blast! Here’s just one of them!

How many different ways can I say “Thank You”?

Our “Year End Concert” was amazing on December 10. Thanks to all of the remarkable artists who shared then stage, the amazing people who brought you guys the video stream, the sound guys, the staff at The Kaufman Center… and all of the beautiful people in the theater.

WHAT A NIGHT!

Thanks.

“It’s Just Us”

Hey listen! We’re gonna hang out together in the off-season… LIVE twice a week. Wednesdays we always go LIVE at 4:00 (eastern). We will stream LIVE from my studio in The Heights all year. Weekends too. Check back.

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.

Well, we did it again in Central Park… it was another “amazing” season of music and laughs, thoughts and feelings and… Love.

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.

WE ALL CREATE TOGETHER

Over the course of the past year+ we started to Create music videos together… to help keep us sane and connected. Here’s the most recent video a bunch of you jumped in on.

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.
