Cool show on "I Love the Company" to wrap up the week. But first...

Thanks you to everyone who emailed me about yesterday's update when I said,

"...believe it or not, I've been going through a pretty rough patch in some very personal ways. But, y'know? I love my life, and I love all that I get to do around here."

It's all good. And, I'm so grateful that there are people who would actually take the time to email or call. But, it's cool. I'm good.

So, yeah. There are people reading this all over the world. But, if you're in New York City, what are you thinking for tomorrow?

I'm thinking the weather is gonna be perfect for just hangin out in Central Park with just my guitar. No sound equipment, no big hoo-ha... just us.

I did that last Saturday and it was pretty cool. I mean, I love the usual gig...

But, tomorrow I think we'll just hang like we did last week. That we, I actually get to talk to you guys and meet you more than I do when there's a few hundred at a time.

Okay, here's the Friday installlment of ILTC. Another fun show with some of your phone calls, some music from around the Podsafe Music Network, and a couple of heartfelt "THANK YOUs".

It's just us.

But first, on today's ILTC the musical guests are: Black Lab and Ginny Clee. (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.)

Okay... YEAH! Concert!

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!

Oh yeah... and use that number if you have anything to say about the SPECIAL EXTRA BONUS EDITION OF "THE WEDNESDAY WAKE-UP CALL". It's 24 minutes long and it's specifically about the signing of the Military Commissions Act , and why I feel so strongly about the things I wrote in the song "Where's the Voice". If you care, if you give a shit... click on this link to listen or download it for later. It's a special segment called...

For People Who Actually Give a Shit

(Gonna be interesting to see the numbers on how many people check it out.)

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 a few weeks ago!

"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 this summer, and it's getting some reaction around the internet. 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.
