September 16th, 2001 was an intense and powerful memory for me. I've shared that with you before. It was one of the most incredible days I will ever have with a guitar on my shoulder.

Yesterday... we made a new memory!

Hot dogs for all! If you were out there with me... THANK YOU, from the bottom of my heart! I'm gonna post lots and lots of pictures from yesterday all this coming week. (In fact, there are a bunch further down the page right now.) You guys made yesterday so special for me.

TODAY... I'm inviting you to stand in line with me for a very special silent demonstration on Fifth Avenue. I'll tell you all about that in a minute.

If you're reading this in another part of the country or another part of the world, here's the weekend show on "I Love the Company". Click on this logo to hear it. (Then call or email a few friends and ask them to do the same.)

Or, download it to listen whenever and wherever you want.

Today's musical guests are: Cassandra Kubinski, Laura Cheadle and Roger Bartlett. (As always, click on their photos to visit their websites, find out about them, where they're playing and how to get more of their music.)

. .

And, I really want you all to be a part of the show every day. Please, if you have anything to say, if you have anything to say about this show, if you have any requests for music throughout the week, or even if you just wanna say "Hi".... call this number:

646-224-8162

By the way... TODAY, I'm gonna be participating in a solemn demonstration to focus on the human cost of this immoral and unAmerican war that is raging in Iraq. It's an event called "Number the Dead". I'll tell you all about it on "I Love the Company" today. But, you can also click on this logo to visit their website and find out how you can stand up and take your place in line as well.

Sensible people, honest people, good people. LET'S START TAKIN' IT TO THE STREETS! What do you say, tomorrow on Fifth Avenue , okay? This kinda relates to the new feature here at the website.

GEORGE W. BUSH'S TRAGIC NUMBER

Here at The Guitar Man website, I'm going to post George W. Bush's "Tragic Number". That's the number of American fatalities in this post-9/11, unrelated, wholly unAmerican and immoral war in Iraq until George W. Bush, and those who voted for him or support this war are directly responsible for the equal number of people killed by Osama Bin Laden in the World Trade Center. At the time I posted this, the number stands at 67. (Of course, more Americans and Iraqis have probably died while you're reading this.)

Harsh?

You betcha!

Live with it.

Okay, let's get back to the fun! Here's an ANNOUNCEMENT!!!

THE TICKETS HAVE GONE ON SALE FOR THE ANNUAL DECEMBER SHOW AT MERKIN CONCERT HALL!!!

Even though the show sold out last year, a lot of people told me that they couldn't attend because it was so damned close to the holidays. So, this year the show is earlier... on Wednesday, December 6th. (I'll be making a BIG announcement with email and other media soon. So, if you wanna be among the first to get the best seats, go ahead and follow this link. You can get tickets tomorrow (Sunday) and everyday next week!)

Okay... good, good people who hung out with me yesterday. Another HOT DOG DAY!!!

. . . .

Lots and lots more photos to come. I'll be posting them all week. Tell all your friends across the country and around the world that you're on The Guitar Man website. Let them share "Hot Dog Day" with you.

Okay, before I get outta here I'm gonna ask you all to check out the MySpace page. And, when you do I'd like you to sign up as a friend. I'm very new on the damned thing. But, I'm really exploring the whole MySpace thing to see if it's gonna be fun and worth the effort.

Let me know what you think, okay?

Here's the link:

Oh and hey!

If you wanna hear the roughs of my newest song... the song about one of the greatest engines of human conflict ever devised, click on this photo! It's "The Religion Song" and it's brand new.

If you've been comin' around for a while, thanks for always showing up... here and in the park. And if you're brand new here, take a look around. There's a lot of cool stuff on this site. And, you can go back and listen through a whole bunch of the previous Podcasts. Actually... you can go back and listen to all of them if you have the time.

You can also email me about anything you want by clicking on that "Contact" button over there. I can't answer all the email I get these days. But I promise I read every single one.

Thanks again.
