Once again... to all of you who are stopping by from all over the country... welcome.

Thanks, to everyone, for stopping by today. On the radio, if you get something where you live called the "Joey Reynold's Show" on a WOR affiliate, tune in tonight... LATE. (I mean, this is for insomniacs.) It's AM radio and it might actually stream on the computer. But, it's a national show, so look it up if you want.

I'm gonna be his guest tonight, talkin' about "JesusLand" and the new song I'm working on about "Reality TV".

Well... I live in New York City.

Man! I love New York. I love living in this town. I love what I do for a living. I love making music. Y'know, I've never had a record deal... but, that gives me the creative freedom to write what I want and make the CDs I wanna make, and work with the good friends and amazing artists that I do. I've never had a manager, but that gives me the freedom to make and own my mistakes and also enjoy the little successes more personally. This whole "Guitar Man" thing is completely under-the-radar, grassroots... and, at times, a very scary proposition, security-wise. Still all in all, it's a wonderful life. I'm a very lucky man. I love living in New York City.

But, every once in a while I get another dose of perspective.

Last night, I was standing outside a diner on Broadway that my friends and I affectionately call "The Perfect Diner". I was saying goodnight to a good, dear friend when a HUGE flat bed truck pulled up to the red light. On it, was a gigantic section of a pipeline of some kind. Before the light changed and it started moving again, I just belly-laughed outloud, because...

... it's a startling realization when you encounter a piece of underground pipe... that is actually bigger than the apartment you live in.

Anyway... hey... listen, FRIDAY NIGHT!

Concert at CAMI HALL.

Well, we worked out the details. A really fine songwriter in his own right, a guy named Brendan Davies, is gonna RECORD the concert Friday night for inclusion in a proposed satellite radio show. It will also become a Podcast. If you're there in the audience, and you sing loud, YOU WILL BE A PART OF THE SHOW.

I'm gonna sing a whole bunch of different kinds of songs... many of my own songs that I haven't sung in a while. I'm gonna make it up as we go along, but I'm sure we'll get to some James Taylor, Cat Stevens and Beatle covers. And, I'm definitely gonna crank up "JesusLand".

While the vast majority of the email I've gotten about "JesusLand" has been enthusiastically positve, I'm aware that some of you are really annoyed at that song. And, some of you are downright pissed off. (Largely because your taking it the wrong way, or you just don't get it, or... hmmm... maybe it hits too close to home.)

But, that's okay, take it easy. Wait'll you hear the new song I'm working on...

.

"Buddah, You Fat Fuck, You"

.

.

(Oh, relax. I'm kidding.)

.

No, seriously... we're gonna have a good time Friday night.

Hope to see you there.

Maybe I'll see you in the "Forum" (message board) later today. Also, if you think you would like to reserve a place at the concert, you can just ckick on that thing over there on the right, and follow the instructions. Your name will be placed on the list at the door.

Thanks again.
