Goodbye to another summer....

Great line from a beautiful song written by Mr. James Taylor...

"Cause I can sing this song,
And you can sing this song... when I'm gone.

But, no.... I'm not goin' anywhere.

I'm still here at the website, and I'm gonna be hangin' with all of you at the "Year-End Concert" at Merkin Concert Hall on December 6th. And, I'm right here on the daily podcast, "I Love the Company".

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 I PLAYED IT IN THE SONGWRITER'S CIRCLE LAST NIGHT... 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?

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.
