How many different ways can I say THANK YOU to every single one of you who showed up at Merkin Concert Hall… and everyone who showed up online to watch the gig. Thank you.

“Typically Amazing” Days…

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 34th summer at “The Hill” in Central Park last October.

Thank you.

I hope I see you twice a week when we stream LIVE right here to your computer. (Usually Wednesday and Saturday) It’s a hang we call “It’s Just Us” and it’s a lot of fun. We hang out with people from all across the country and different parts of the world, starting at 4:00 (eastern) If you want the link, just shoot me an email: thatguitarman@yahoo.com

I’ll see you again in Central Park… maybe… this summer!

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”

Hey listen! We hang out together in the off-season… LIVE twice a week. Wednesdays and Saturdays we go LIVE at 4:00 (eastern). We stream LIVE from my studio in The Heights all year to people here in NYC, on the West Coast, and in Europe and beyond.

If you join us on Patreon, you get automatic access to ALL of our hangs.

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 just kept it going. COME JOIN US!

Thanks for Another Year…

Well, we did it again in 2025… it was another “amazing” season of music and laughs, thoughts and feelings and… Love. And… THAT’S A WRAP. Moving on…

It’s possible to have Fun and find Joy in being one of “The Good Guys”. We have a lot of fun around here.

These days it’s important to be resisting and fighting the ugly second-cousins, Trumpism and the fascist movement that is MAGA.

2025 was another year as “That Guitar Man”…

WE’VE HAD SOME AMAZING GUESTS ON IJU!!! Jon Cryer, Jeff Daniels, the late Peter Yarrow, Don Scardino… and lots of others.

For the rest of 2026, please think about joining us LIVE online twice a week. It’s really fun and it’s easy to do. If you wanna just check it out, shoot me an email and I’ll hook you up with the private link.

THE WORK

The last 3 have been the most challenging years financially in Central Park… ever. But 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.

In fact, a lovely woman in Minnesota just started a GoFundMe campaign to make my work and my Life a little easier.

THANK YOU ALL.

And thanks for showing up here.

PLAYWRIGHT STUFF

Last year we all got together online for a special screening of the musical “Possibility Junkie”. Me and a bunch of sweet people from all across the country and different parts of the world watched the off-Broadway production from a bunch of years back.

The script has been rewritten and updates to go directly at FOX and MAGA. Yes… it’s still fun, and romantic, and entertaining. But if this administration is going to attack the arts. I would like to use theater as a big overhand right to punch back. (Hey! On our worst day, we’re both smarter and funnier than they are!)

LUCKY MAN…

Also… 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” to stream the reading and then had another 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 34 years. It’s crazy.

BTW — If you ever want to support my work financially and make a “tax-deductible” donation, I operate under the umbrella of a 510(c)3 called Fractured Atlas. Just click on this banner and help out in whatever way you want.

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!!!

Thanks for An Amazing Ride…

We sing together. We dance together. And on “It’s Just Us” we don’t even hafta leave our homes. Fun people from New York City, California, West Virginia, Maine, Missouri, Indiana, Long Island, The Netherlands, The UK, Spain, Estonia, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Las Vegas, North Carolina, Arkansas, Maryland…

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)

This play is still looking for a few Creative champions to move it to Broadway. It would 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.

I feels like the time is right to sit in the dark with you guys and allow my characters to help hasten the arrival of the day that all “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.

No kidding. Last summer was a 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 time together over the years.
