DUKE ELLINGTON BLVD!!!

Wait, first... let me say "Thanks" to every person who gave me another amazing summer in Central Park in 2006.

"I Love the Company"

And, speaking of that... MAN!!!

Have we got some plans around here for the podcast and for the newest project which will also be a part of the Podshow+ family... "I Love the Video". We're going into partnership with a great, funky, underground and very, very secret music club here in New York called "Duke Ellington Blvd"... so that we can bring you a weekly song, recorded LIVE at a club here in The Big Apple. (That's for all of you in different parts of the country and around the world. We're also gonna move the whole video thing into the recording booth with me so that you can all be in on the process of making new music.)

Yeah, I know. I know. With some of the technical problems we've been having around here getting this thing off the ground, it's kinda like all the new features they keep adding to cell phones before they really get them to work to just make a damned phone call!

But this is gonna be reeeeallllly cool.

I'll be telling you more about that all next week. In fact, the very first installment of "I Love the Video" might be ready to launch next week.

But, for right now... here is show #151 of "I Love the Company". Fun show today. With a really wonderful phone call from a fellow singer/songwriter, a really gifted artist a great person... and, then a few comments about an assinine email I received recently... about how NOT to behave if you want to be respected as an artist or as a human being.

Just turn on your speakers and click on this logo to hear the weekend show.

Or, download it to listen to whenever you want.

My musical guests on today's show are: Kirsten Thein and David McMillin. (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.)

.

After you listen to the show, you can call these numbers to leave comments for me or for ILTC. Maybe your comment will be played on the show! Have fun. Call the number and be a part of the whole thing.

Okay... FREE STUFF! Here's a FREE download. I'd really like to hear from you about it. 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.

Click on the photo for the mp3.

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.
