Yeah, yeah... the "Weekend Show" is here! And, because I missed you all yesterday, I'm posting 2 shows on the site today.

Okay, on yesterday's episode of "I Love the Company" I promised that I would catch up and make both show #226 and the weekend show (#227) available at the same time.

I'm a man of my word.

So, even though we're still 5 or 6 weeks out from hangin' out in Central Park...

...we can still hang here. And you people who are scattered all over the country and in different parts of the world can all be a part of this, too.

Here, click on this logo for show #226.

And click on this logo for "The Weekend Show".

I did something a little unusual on both shows. On 226, I featured one artist... one guy who really deserves to be out front even though he spends a lot of his Creative life a little bit upstage, holding the whole gig together. His name of Roger Bartlett. (My buddy and the man I call "Dodger". (Click on this photo of me and Dodger at work down on Bleecker Street to visit his website, find out more about his music and the man himself.)

And, on the next show I featured 2 songs by one artists (Don't think I've ever done that before.) ...a guy that I'm looking forward to featuring as a guest in Central Park when the weather gets here. His name is David Abbinanti. Along with David on this episode, another couple of artists that have joined me out at "The Hill" and you can bet I'm gonna ask back this season... Sam Leopold and a regular here in the show... Cassie Kubinski.

(Click on their photo to visit their websites, find out more about their music, where they're playing, and how to get their music.)

Okay... I gotta get back to the studio with Dodge. We have a new album to bring you guys this year... hopefully in about a month or two.

Keep checking back for updates about gig around town between now and then.

Cool?

I'm also actually asking any of you to introduce one of the episodes of ILTC. All you hafta do is leave a brief message, saying who you are and where you live and then introduce the show any way you want. You can also call in with any comments, or opinions, or requests you have.... anything at all that you wanna say about the show "I Love the Company" or anything at all.

See you guys back here next time.

D'oh!!! And, oh yeah...

I wanna let you all know that the Central Park Permit Fund for '07 is continuing. (Could really use everybody's help with that effort. You can click on any of these links or the PayPal button over there on the right, under The Weather section.) It also helps keep the podcast going strong every weekday. Damn! It's turned into a full time job, keepin' it goin'!

See you back here tomorrow and every day next week. Bring a few friends around. "I Love the Company"!

Thanks a lot.
