HAPPY HALLOWEEN, KIDS! What are you gonna be !?
THIS YEAR... I'm gonna be... uh... I'm gonna be a... a singer/songwriter on the edge of poverty and the abyss of obscurity just trying to eke out a living while making a small difference for the better in the world with his songs.
What? A stretch?
Okay... well, maybe I'll be a hobo.
Moving on... no more outdoor music in Central Park for another year. But the music doesn't stop.

But, we've got the podcast! Great show today! I'm playing a track from a woman I shared a stage with last night at the SGA Songwriter's Circle in The Village.
Yeah, we've got the podcast... "I Love the Company".
We've got the "Year-End Concert" at Merkin Hall comin' up!
We've got each other.
We've got rhythm. We've got music... we've got...
Okay... I'm gonna stop now.

It's 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 this summer, AND I PLAYED IT IN THE SONGWRITER'S CIRCLE LAST NIGHT... and it's getting some reaction around the internet. People are emailing and calling in from all over about this one.

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?

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.
