Nope... on "I Love the Company" today?

Not a real "feel-good" show.

But, it is a "good" show.

Y'know, podcasting has just become an extension of what I do in Central Park and all the different places I get to play music and hang out with good people.

And, don't worry... I'm gonna be doin' a whole lotta "feel-good" stuff in a week from tonight at the "Year-End Concert" at Merkin Concert Hall here in New York City.

But, today... well... just check out today's show. It's another installment of the "Weekly Wake-Up Call". Just turn on your speakers and click on this logo to hear the show.

Or, download it to listen to whenever you want.

My musical guests on today's show are: Ronnie and Jenny Dalton. (As always, click on the photos to visit their websites, find out about them, where they're playing or how to get more of their music.)

Oh hey... yeah!!! Think I got a brand new song being born today. 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!!!

The box office is open today if you wanna make this the day you know you've got tickets to the "Year-End Concert" in just about 2 weeks!

Merkin Hall is a great, great sounding venue and seats about 500. Now, the gig sells out almost every year, but there are plenty of tickets left and there really is NOT a bad seat in that house!

Y'know... here's a quick little video of a Beatles cover tune we pulled out of our hat at the last minute one year. Check out the video and see if it doesn't look like a night where anything can happen. It really is kinda cool.
