Concert comin’ up……

What a gig!

And I’m just talkin’ about my Life! As I make the transition from a Life in music to a career as a playwright, change is happening all around me. We wrapped our 32nd summer at “The Hill” in Central Park.

NOW… grab tickets to the concert on December 16. (Details down the page.)

Something’th Annual Concert

Like I told you in Central Park, this is the last time our annual tradition will be at Merkin Concert Hall. So I think you’ll wanna be a part of this as we say good bye to both 2023 and the venue we called home for so many years.
 
TICKETS ARE ON SALE!
 
Call a few friends, make a plan and grab the seats you really want early. This is the year to fill the place with music and laughs and Love and sweet people… on December 16.
Don’t get sold out of this one!
 
 
And if you can’t get to New York City, or you can’t be in the theater with us that  night… watch the concert LIVE online with people from all across the country and around the world.
 
 
HERE’S THE LINK TO WATCH LIVE ONLINE:

“It’s Just Us”

At the onset of the pandemic years ago, we created a casual music hang that streams 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 hang out right here at your computer. “It’s Just Us” is a LIVE online music hang with sweet people. It’s a really cool thing.

If you’ve never tried it and you want this week’s link, shoot me an email: thatguitarman@yahoo.com

We usually go LIVE at 4:00. Almost always on Wednesday.  So, I’ll see you mid-week. On the weekends, either Saturday or Sunday… at 4:00. 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.

BECOME A PATREON MEMBER… HERE!

YOU GET THE ID AND THE PASSCODE for every private hang at Patreon.

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.

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!!!

AS A PLAYWRIGHT…

Things are getting really, really interesting. I have a feeling everything is about to break wide open all at once. (Anybody who jumps on board is in for a fun ride.) Two of my stage plays are very close to getting on their feet… one here in NYC and one out on The West Coast. (Email me and I can tell you more about that:  thatguitarman@yahoo.com.)

BUT — a holiday romantic comedy musical I co-wrote with the brilliant composer David Friedman is being reworked into a made-for-streaming TV movie. That’s another whole new world for me.

I’ll tell you all about this stuff on “It’s Just Us”. See you at the usual time Wednesday… 4:00 (eastern).

MOMENTS from “The Hill”

Thanks for being in the audience

“The Something’th Annual Year End Concert” to close out 2022 was another reason I always feel like the luckiest man alive. Thank you to every one of you who showed up in the theater or watched the gig LIVE online.

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! CLICK TO WATCH https://youtu.be/IK0slIasdJ4

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.

We had a great time at “The Hill” this year. The crowds were smaller than usual and the Hill” had fallen into terrible shape. But every time we were out there I shared music and smiles with lots of sweet people from all around the world. Denise sang with me again this season. The Goose Whisperer was on duty. We streamed LIVE from the park. And the songs and messages seemed to really land this year.

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!!!
