Well, we'll see what we've got.
Like any other Creative adventure, I'm sure any Podcast I would do would hafta evolve into whatever it wants to be. But, I'm thinking that I'll take a run at it soon, maybe this week, and ask James Marino (webmaster) to get it up on the website here first.
Then, soon we'll be able to turn a part of our afternoons in Central Park into a broadcast we could all share with the rest of the world this summer.

Hey... TRY TO VISIT THIS SITE EVERY DAY FROM NOW ON!
I'm gonna start doin' some new stuff and havin' some fun.
I know there are people reading this in different parts of the country and different parts of the world. Take a look around the site and in the "Archives". If you feel like emailing me about anything at all, just hit the "Contact" button. I can't answer all the email I get, but I promise I read every single one.
Hey, I heard the coolest old-timey-soundin' country song, sent to me by a good friend and wonderful writer named Frank Beacham.

Here it is. Click on this link to hear the song.
Now, if you're at work, for Pete's sake, turn your speakers off!
And, if you're around children (Or, a right wing religious conservative) use headphones, okay?
But, in the meantime... here's something really, really bizzare. Kinda funny. But, really weird.
This is a dog who is just a tiny bit... schizophrenic.
Wild.
Anyway, y'know what I think is kinda cool? Well, might be a really cool possibility for me?
If I start making Podcasts available on this website... it'll cut down on the typing every morning!!!
And then, also... you guys can all register in the "Forum" (message boards) and chime in with opinions or reactions to antything that goes on here. I'kll certainly play music by some of my friends and colleagues. It'll allow you guys to hear some wonderful stuff that you might otherwaise never be aware of. there are a lot of wonderful artists in my life. And, I will play or say any damened thing I want to.
By the way... I've stopped feeling frustrated by people who still support this rich frat boy in the Oval Office, the decision to invade Iraq, or anything that has to do with Dick Cheney and his posse.
I "get it" now.
At this point, you're simply out of your minds... or, so steeped in denial that you probably still think pro wrestling is an actual sport.
I mean, Geroge W. Bush is admittedly breaking a law that was enacted in 1978. In Iraq, car bombs are exploding in the streets every day. The Madhi militia is openly patrolling entire villages, nearly 200 more Iraqis have been killed since Sunday, dozens and dozens of people are being found shot, strangled, tortured every day.
Here's a question:
When exactly does the term "sectarian violence" slip over the line into "civil war"? I mean... what is the difference? Isn't the definition of civil war... um... sectarian violence!?
.
.
Get real.
.
.
Anybody see this coming?
.
.
um... yeah.
Anyway, I gotta get to work. Wanna leave you with a great quote by the late Bill Hicks:
People say "Iraq had the fourth largest army in the world". Yeah, maybe, but you know what, after the first 3 largest armies, there's a REAL big fucking drop-off. The Hare Krishnas are the 5th largest army in the world, and they've already got all our airports.
Movin' on... once again, THANK YOU!
To all of you who are helping out with this year's Permit Fund.
Seriously.
It makes it easier.
Once I get settled in this new place I'll try to send a personal "Thank You" email to every one of you, okay?
If you feel like helping out with this year's "Permit fund"... now would be a good time to do it. I put the paperwork and fees in for most of the permits to play on "The Hill" in Central Park already. If everyting goes smoothly, and it doesn't rain like it did last Spring, we'll be hanging out together before you know it.
So if you feel like it, the webmaster James Marino has made it really easy. There are two buttons over there on the right. PayPal actually keeps a smaller percentage of your donation. But, either method is good.
But, only if you feel like it and only if you can afford to help out. Remember, it's most important to me that you show up... with or without your money.
Okay... gotta go.
Thanks for everything.
