Hey, thanks for showing up today. There are people reading this in New York City, across the country and in different parts of the world. Got a lot to talk about today to all of you! The VOICES TOGETHER CONCERT is slowly but surely becoming a reality. But, we're gonna need help from every single one of you!

On MONDAY! I'm gonna announce the launching of the...

...WEBSITE!!!

I'll be telling you all about it at two of the usual gigs this weekend. Tonight, the "Sunset Concert Series" in Hudson River Park was RAINED OUT.

But, on Sunday we'll talk about it at the "StoryTellers Hill" down by the river in Riverside Park.

And, of course tomorrow (Saturday) I'll be at "The Hill" in Central Park.

Oh, listen... last night, the book signing was pretty cool. And, for the people who I met (Kenny and the others) who were interested in downloading that song for FREE... scroll to the bottom of the page,okay?

Okay, VOICES TOGETHER.

Here's the deal.

No matter how you feel politically about the war in Iraq, the reality of the war cannot be denied. Thousands and thousands of innocent civilians have been killed. But, the survivors of these horrific attacks, the tens of thousands of the wounded, are not surviving gunshot wounds or broken bones. They are surviving horrific bomb blasts... most of the time... barely surviving.

There is almost no one helping them. And, up to this point, our government and the American news media are nearly completely ignoring them. It's unconscienable and an affront to human decency. There is almost nobody to help these people. Watch the "news". Email me and ell me how many items you see about the civilian casualties in Iraq. You will hear politicians mention the 1,862 Americans who've died since the war began. But, tell me how many times you hear a politician of any stripe address the 1,241 Iraqis who have been killed... JUST SINCE JULY 4th WEEKEND, a little more than six weeks ago.

Well, we found a few remarkable people who are actually going into Iraq and finding reaching people who's lives are being torn apart, especially the children, and getting them direct help. Lisa Montanti and her Global Medical Relief Fund, is actually making trips to Iraq to bring wounded children here for the medical help they so desperately need.

BUT, HERE'S THE REALLY BIG THING!

This concert is gonna be an AMAZING event! And, the thrust of it... the theme of it.. the spirit of it, is this...

ORDINARY PEOPLE HELPING ORDINARY PEOPLE.

Wait and see!

It's the very spirit of "IT'S JUST US"!

If you wanna be part of making it happen... we need your help.

Yes, we're talking to a couple of very "big name" artists. And, it's most likely gonna be at the amazing Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City. But, this is gonna be about YOU... the "People on the Hill"... and, people just like you.

Good people. Ordinary people. Who are capable of doing something extraordinary.

This is gonna be different than most concerts that look like this. In this case, we're going to ask for all of you who wanna be a "concert-producer" to send a donation (as much as you can afford) to help with the initial production of the event. THAT WAY... and, this is big... when people buy a ticket for the concert, they will know that their money is going directly to do some good in this world, to help someone who really needs help. The concert will have already been paid for.

AND... every dollar that you send is TAX DEDUCTIBLE!

If you can send 25, or 50, or 100... or $500... ALL of it is tax deductible.

All you do is donate the money to the 501(c)(3) that is helping us do this. They're called Fractured Altlas. Just indicate your donaation is for the Voices Together Concert. It's very easy. And, very cool. And, the people at Fractured Atlas are GREAT! Really good people.

(If you are a person who can send $1000 or more, contact our friend from "The Hill", Sue, and she will walk you through the process of sending that kind of gift! Here's her email:

sue (at) voicestogether.org

Okay, I'll tell you more about the concert this weekend. But...

Y'know what?

If YOU wanna be listed as being among the FIRST to get the project off the ground... click here and send... something... either by credit card or by check. The instructions are all there, okay?

In the window that says "On Behalf Of", just look for "Voices Together Concert"

Click here if you wanna be among the FIRST to help!

Remember, everything IS tax deductible. It's more than a worthwhile cause. It will help us make difference in this troubled world...

..right now.

See you guys on "the Hill"

Can't wait to see you all.

It's just us!

(Oh yeah... almost forgot. And, Kenny... and anyone who wanted this song last night for free!)
