Hey everyone.

Welcome to everyone who's reading this in another part of the country or a different part of the world. It's a beautiful day here in New York City. But, if you live around here and were planning to head to Central Park today to do what we always do out there... you oughta know this.

I'm heading out to Central Park to hang out with you today.

And, I'm bringing Aubrey (my guitar) with me.

But, I wasn't issued a Special Events permit by the Parks Department for today. So, I'm just gonna show up and hang out with whoever wants to hang with me. Maybe we'll do a little acoustic stuff. Maybe we'll just finally meet each other and get a chance to talk. (Y'know, I'm always the guy with the guitar on his shoulder and a microphone in his face in front of a few hundred people. So, I never really get to meet anyone. Maybe today... we'll just hang.)

For everybody else around the internet, got a couple of songs for you to download for FREE. And, here's the newest installment of "I Love the Company". It's the weekend show.

Just click on this logo to hear it now, or download it to take it with you.

And even if you're new here, after you listen to today's show, call the ILTC number if you have anything to say. Anything at all. Go ahead... don't be shy. Call the number and leave a message for me.

Or, get your seats online by clicking on this link. I'm tellin' you, that gig is so much fun every year. This year, it's gonna be great again. I'm already lookin' forward to hangin' out with you guys. Gonna have some wonderful guests on stage with me. Try not miss it. Get a bunch of friends together and make a night of it!

I'll bring a few postcards about this concert to Central Park with me today.

Okay... FREE STUFF! Here are 2 new FREE downloads. I'd really like to hear from you about both of them. YEAH! One of these is the song that has rocketted around the internet over the past week or so. Okay, okay... so, it's a parody. But, I hadda get it out fast. Blame webmaster James Marino for this one! (Well, and ex-Congressman Mark Foley) This came about during a diner-run on Broadway last week!

"Mamas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to be Pages"

The other is a song about one of the greatest engines of human conflict ever devised, click on this photo to get the song! It's "The Religion Song" and it's brand new. I played it in Central Park last weekend, and it's getting some reaction on the podcast today. People are emailing and calling in from all over about this one.

Click on the photo for the mp3.

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:

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.
