James here. Again. I swear it snowed here. It is March 23 and we have 6 inches of snow right outside my house. And David is still in Turks and Caicos. Today, the weather reached a high of 86.

And now, a word from our sponsor...

There will be no politics discussed this week.


Lyrics. More of them. This time not David's. I guess I was not specific the other day when I asked what your favorites are. I meant you should post them in the Forum. So many of you emailed them to me. (Hint, there is probably no need to type David's lyrics, I've done that already for you. They are in the "Songs" section.)

From The Byrds' Turn! Turn! Turn!:

    To everything (turn, turn, turn)
    There is a season (turn, turn, turn)
    And a time for every purpose, under heaven

    A time to gain, a time to lose
    A time to rend, a time to sew
    A time to love, a time to hate
    A time for peace, I swear it's not too late

From George Michael's Father Figure:

    So when you remember the ones who have lied
    Who said that they cared
    But then laughed as you cried
    Beautiful darling, don't think of me

But, how about these lyrics? Do you know them (without Googling!)

    We've been through this such a long long time
    Just tryin' to kill the pain
    But lovers always come and lovers always go
    An no one's really sure who's lettin' go today

The best and worst thing about music is that you just can't know all the greats. One recommendation that I have for you, if you are a fan of David's style of music, is to check out the songs from the musical The Last Five Years.

From Jason Robert Brown's show, The Last Five Years. The Next Ten Minutes:

    Will you share your life with me,
    For the next 10 minutes
    For the next 10 minutes
    We can handle that

    We could watch the waves
    We could watch the sky
    Or just sit and wait
    As the time ticks by

    And if we make it till then
    Can I ask you again for another 10?

    And if you in turn agree
    To the next 10 minutes
    And the next 10 minutes
    Till the morning comes
    Then just holding you
    Might compel me to
    Ask you for more...

    There are so many lives I want to share with you
    I will never be complete until I do.

Trivia about this song -- In the musical, Jamie is proposing to Cathy in a boat, on the lake in Central Park. Right behind where David sings...

Stay dry and warm. I hope to hear from you all soon.

- James

A note from filmmaker Dean Love...

As you may know I am producing a documentary about "That Guitar Man from Central Park". I would like to ask all David's fans out there to write me and tell me any stories you may have about David and his playing in Central Park and how it has affected you or what it has meant to you. I've already heard some great stories, but I know there are more that I haven't heard. So if you got a story to tell about David and his music, please briefly write it out and send it to stories@thatguitarman.com . I will be contacting people from the stories submitted to interview them for possible inclusion in the film. Thank you and I look forward to seeing everyone on the hill this summer.
- Dean
