Kind of Amazing…
First things first.Thanks for showing up here. Y’know, as I make the transition from the Life of a singer/songwriter to a full-time career as a playwright, I never lose sight of what a lucky, lucky man I am.
Yes. I’m back at “The Hill” in Central Park for another season.
I’m next LIVE in Central Park on Saturday, May 25. I crank up around 1:00 and play ’til 5:00 or until I fall over… whichever comes first. If you can’t get to the park or live in a different part of the world, we stream LIVE from Central Park starting at 3:00.
We also get together for a LIVEstream from my studio in The Heights every Wednesday in our online hang called “It’s Just Us”… at 4:00 eastern
If you need information about Central Park or the LIVE stream, just shoot me an email: thatguitarman@yahoo.com
LUCKY MAN…
A while back I was in Los Angeles where I sat in on a reading of my play “The Green Room”. So when I got back to New York we got together LIVE online… on “It’s Just Us” @ 3:00 (eastern) to stream the reading and then have a talk-back with everyone who showed up. What a great crowd! And the reading went great! This play is so ready to move.BTW — If you’re not a patron and would like to check out the LIVE online hang “It’s Just Us”… just shoot me an email to ask for the private link: thatguitarman@yahoo.com
I feel like the luckiest man alive…
I say it all the time. And I truly hope we all feel that way.
But no kidding. My Life just doesn’t look like most other lives, and yet it’s kinda just what I imagined. I mean, I’ve always been a writer… a playwright. But I’ve gotten to make a sweet living as an under-the-radar singer/songwriter for over 32 years. It’s crazy.
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!!!
NOW! PLEASE JOIN US LIVE TWICE WEEK ON “IT’S JUST US”

People have asked me what it feels like to be a “struggling artist”. I tell them… “I don’t know.” I’ve spent a lot of my time looking up at broke. And yet I’ve never been struggling. I LOVE this Life. When I look at the circumstances of my Life… my beautiful partner, my incredible friends and colleagues, my beautiful family, my apartment, the fact that twice a week I hang out online with a worldwide community of music lovers… Damn!!!
Earlier this year I did my annual gig back in The Turks and Caicos Islands. (It’s simply one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been.) And then I returned home to the most amazing city on the planet to learn that a wonderful group of artists are doing a reading of my play “The Green Room” in L.A.
This is my 33rd year as “That Guitar Man from Central Park”. And although it’s gotten more challenging in so many ways, I never lose sight of how incredible it is. Our “Year End Concert” to close out 2023 was also amazing on December 16. Thanks to all of the remarkable artists who shared the 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 that theater that night.
Turned up the house lights in the middle of the gig!
WHAT A NIGHT!
Thanks for An Amazing Ride…
Thanks for being in the audience
Even though our entire season in Central Park was kinda weird in 2023… we’re making some new and exciting things happen in 2024.
JUST A FEW MOMENTS
Incredible. I love this town!!! I’m such a lucky man!
