Well, thanks for stopping by today. Yeah, I know there are people reading this in other parts of the country and other parts of the world. But, here in New York City, it's drizzly and cold. Not lookin' real good for a free outdoor concert in Central Park. Maybe tomorrow. (Sunday) We'll see.

But, just because the outdoor season might be over, that doesn't mean we can't really look forward to all the cool indoor stuff that's coming up... right around the corner.

Like the annual "Year-End Concert" at Merkin Concert Hall in December. It's on December 17th this year. And, if you've ever been to one of those, you know it's a great way to send the year out the door. I always look forward to that night. This year is no exception. And, the tickets are back down to $20. So, start calling a bunch of friends and then call the box office to make sure you get the seats you want, okay? It's only about 8 weeks away.

Box office: 212-501-3330

Box Office Hours:
Sunday - Thursday: 12-7pm
Fridays: 12-3pm

The tickets are also on sale for the VOICES TOGETHER concert in January. More about that in a minute.

Hey, you wanna have some fun, hit the "Archive" button over there and catch up on some of the recent updates.

Y'know, recently I wrote that George W. Bush is not invited to the Voices Together Concert. Don't take that the wrong way. It's not a political thing. It really isn't.

It's just that... well... yeah, while it's true that he is the worst president this country has seen in my lifetime... that's not the reason he's not invited.

Truth is...

When he was on one of his 5 week vacations this summer, he actually showed up and jammed with me a "Dodger".

Now, as bad a business man and president as he is?

.

.

.

Trust me... he's a worse guitar player.

.

And, damn! Since he got that guitar with the little presidential seal on it!? He brings it everywhere and just wants to play "On the Road Again" and "Dust in the Wind". (I just never really liked the second song.)

So... he's not invited.

But you are!

As I do every day now, I wanna tell all the newcomers about this concert that we're doing' at Symphony Space here in New York City on January 28th.... what we're doing and why we're doing it. (Click on that logo to visit the Voices Website,okay?)

We... my friends and I... a bunch of ordinary people, refuse to ignore the carnage that is ravaging the Iraqi people... today... now... since the U.S. invasion.

And, there is a woman we've found named Elissa Montanti, an otherwise ordinary New York woman, who has made 4 trips into Iraq to get people and bring them here to the States for the medical help they cannot get in that war-torn part of the world. She is an angel... a true hero. We want to help her do the work she has chosen to do in any way we can. Therefore, VOICES TOGETHER Concert.

She has done amazing things already for so many... but, everyday there is much, much more to do.

And... she's goin' again.

But, there is soooo much more to do. Please help us... help Elissa... help them.

The VIP section will get all kinds of goodies, and the artists will all hang out at the reception after the gig.

If you wanna help in another really extraordinary way, you can make a donation, right online, and become one of the "producers" of this concert. Really! You will be a concert producer! It's gonna be a special event that you are really gonna feel great being a part of.

Hey, to find out more about Elissa Montanti and the work she's doing, visit the Global Medical Relief Fund website. She's the main reason we started the whole thing.

And, oh... listen! If you're new here! Why don't you register in the new "Forum" (message board) while it's still there and jump in there to hang out with people from all over!

But, be cool, okay?

Thanks for everything.

Hope I see you soon.

Thanks again.
