WELCOME to the website, "I Love the Company" and the Wednesday Wake-Up Call!!!

If you're new here, take a look around. But, do that after you listen to the show today.

Y'know, we have a lot of fun around here. In Central Park all summer...

...and here at the website all year. For example, you can listen to yesterday's ILTC to sittin' on a spontaneous songwriting session. Or, go back to show #133 to have some laughs with "The Wizard of Oz". But on Wednesday, here at the website we take a grown up look at the world and music's part in making it a better, certainly a more real and honest, place.

Right now, you can hear the installment of "I Love the Company" that we call "The Wednesday Wake-Up Call"... (A half-hour internet show or podcast) ...just by turning on your speakers and clicking on this logo.

The musical guests on today's ILTC are both wonderful. Really. One is an old runnin' mate of mine from downtown back in the crazy days, who used to tear up the Village with me on Bleecker Street years ago,Paul Hipp. And, the other is a gifted and beautiful artist from the Boston area named Danielle Miraglia. (As always, click on the photos to visit their websites, find out about them, where they're playing and how to get more of their music.)

.

And, today you get a special 12-minute BONUS podcast.

You can hear it by clicking oin this link. It's called...

For People Who Actually Give a Shit (Part II)

You can click on it if you're a person who actually gives a shit. (Hence the title.) It features the recent comments of MSNBC's Keith Olbermann.

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 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?
