Got another really fun show on "I Love the Company" today... with a little more of that "behind-the-scenes" kinda thing that you guys have been telling me you kinda like.

On today's show, I'm playing a little clip of a recording in a loose songwriting session that I recently had with Cassandra Kubinski. She's one of those kickin' artists who's gonna be on stage with me at this year's "Year-End Concert" here in New York. (She's also sung with me several times out in Central Park this past summer.

I'm also playing a preview... um... yeah, maybe an exclusive preview, (I gotta ask Cassie about that) ...a track from her upcoming, soon-to-be-released CD. (Hold the Sun) The song is called "Ride Alone" and, man! You're gonna hear this track and wanna get the CD the day it's released.

Here.. click on this logo to listen to the show right now.

Or, download it to listen to whenever you want.

Heeeeeere's Cassie!

Oh hey... like I said yesterday, I think I've got a brand new song being born. And y'know what? No matter what's goin' on in the world! No matter what's goin' on in my personal life! No matter what's goin' on... um... no matter what's goin' on! The concert! Man ! We're gonna have a good time.

Here's a thought that would be good for me and might help you guys out with your holiday shopping. Y'know that concert is a week from tonight. I'm gonna have ALL of my CDs on sale in the lobby before and after the show. ALSO... I've made a brand new CD with a collection of songs from this year that will be exclusively for sale at the Year End Concert '06.

And, this CD is only gonna be $10. (Or, get it FREE with every other CD you buy!!!)

"Tom Cruise Scares Me"
"The Religion Song"
"Oh, Exxon"
"A different Cowboy's Lament"
"Next Time Around" (The New Year Song)

So bring a little extra cash and pick p a whole bunch of them for those people you hafta buy gifts for who might want something uniquely New York. (Plus, they're really easy to gift-wrap.)

Cool?

Now... TODAY, TODAY, TODAY!!!
