Hey... welcome to the website!

Before anything else... y'know the man who brought The Beatles to America? Sid Bernstein? (You'll see him on the bench in Central Park all the time hangin' out with us on beautiful summer afternoons. He's become a good friend and kinda the grandfather I never had.)

Well, he asked me to sit in at a show he put together TONIGHT at The Cutting Room. So, if you're not doing anything, head over there at 7:00. It's gonna be a fun gig, I promise!

There's a 10 year old blues guitar player named Myles that you guys gotta catch. (Maybe he and I will jam a little.)

But... anyway, welcome to the site today! Especially if you're new here. Seriously... welcome. Take a look around.

Y'know, I never lose sight of the fact that this is an amazing and uniquely New York thing. I mean, I've gotten to play my music for people from all around the country and all around the world just by being "That Guitar Man from Central Park" for the past 15 years.

Very cool.

And, right now... there is a new installment of "I Love the Company".

This is gonna be a very cool week. There will be a new show (ILTC) here on the website every day. One day this week will be "Women's Day". And, on Wednesday we'll have the "Wednesday Wake Up Call" again.

But, here... click on this logo for today's show.

I need to say a HUGE thank you to all of you, all of the sweet people who came out to Central Park this past weekend. It's so good to see so many shining faces that I haven't seen since last Fall.

This week, we will begin the video-Podcast segment of "ILTC". If you were in the park on Saturday, you will be part of the show. And, you will be able to tell your frineds and relatives all over the planet to share the gig. (There's more about that on the Podcast.)

Okay, I gotta get to work. If you wanna email me about anything, you can hit the "Contact" button over there. I can't answer all the email I get. But, I promise I eventually read every single one.

See you soon, I hope.

Thanks again.

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.
