Missed you guys!

Okay!

Y'know, I've fallen soooo far behind with all the phone calls and emails I've received before during and after our excursion to Mexico. And, soooo many people have been congratulating us on reaching episode #200.

Damn!

WE HAVEN'T DONE 200... yet!!!!

But, I'm gonna load up show #199 of "I Love the Company" sometime today. I think it'll be kinda top-heavy with a bunch of your phone calls. (So many really great people listen to ILTC these days.) I hope you guys are all gonna spread the word to your friends and get them to listen, too... now that we're back.

Gettin' ahead of myself already. Because, it's definitely time for...

Another new beginning.

I'm such a fan of beginnings. I was commenting to some fellow artists down in Mexico that I always feel like I'm just starting. So, many artists complain or are worried that they haven't accomplished all they want to accomplish. I guess that's their own demon. Y'know? "The Liar" has a way of getting at all of us. (Sneaky, insidious little shit.) I personally hope I never feel like I've accomplished all that I want to. I don't think it's a bad thing to constantly feel like I'm just beginning.

I imagine it would really suck to feel the opposite... to feel like... y'know... Ha! I'm done.

Anyway...

Yeah, check back in just a little while for show 199.

Then, it's onward through the fog!

THANKS so much for hangin' in there during this downtime. And, thanks to the few people who already sent a donation to the "Central Park Permit Fund" of '07. (I will be sending you individual emails in the next couple of days.) I could really use it and really, really appreciate it. Believe it or not, the NYC Parks Department already needed the money for this year's Special Events Permits. Actually, they already took the money for the first round of permits out of my account. (The $45 Sound Device Permits from the NYPD are next.)

So, yeah you can click on this link to help out if you feel like it, with PayPal or Amazon. (But, PayPal doesn't take as much as Amazon.)

Also, we here at "That Guitar Man" (meaning me) are accepting donations to keep the podcast "I Love the Company" going until we can get a few sponsors behind the show. (Kinda like PBS or NPR, y'know?)

Please give whatever you can, okay? I figure all together, granola bars and occasional hot dogs included, it takes about $100 to get out there for each Saturday afternoon.

Wanna help out?

Cool.

But listen, if you can't... don't sweat it. I know what it's like to be poor. I'd much rather have you enjoying the music than worryin' about the money.

Thanks for everything. See you back here very soon with #199. And, from the bottom of my heart... again...

Thank you.
