Yeah, I've made a living and part of my life sharing my songs in Central Park.

But, I'm crossin' the river into New Jersey today.

Gonna play a house concert for a really special guy from "The Hill" in Central Park. A guy named Tom. (He's the guy you've heard sing with my on occasion.... the one who does the kick-ass Louie Armstrong impersonation.)

He had this idea to do a little fund-raiser concert right in his apartment. Says he's got a great view of Manhattan and a bunch of great peoople showin' up for this thing. I'll give you guys a full report on the podcast tomorrow.

Y'know?

Pretty cool idea... a house concert.

If any of you wanna throw a private little concert for you and your friends, gimme a shout and I'll tell you how Tom arranged this thing.

I know a lot of you are reading this in different parts of the country and the world... but, here in NYC, were you guys diggin' the Spring-like weather this weekend? Feels like we'll be heading out to the park to begin another season on "The Hill". If you wanna help out with the cost of the permits, the granola bars, batteries and whatnot, and to help keep "I Love the Company" coming to you every weekday, you can still make a donation by clicking on this link. (Thanks to everyone who's already thrown a few dollars. I'll be sending more personal emails soon.)

But, for today... I hafta make this available again.

Y'see, on Friday night I played my semi-usual volunteer gig over at Ronald McDonald House. And, once again several of the beautiful people over there were touched by a song I wrote a good while back. (I kinda wrote it for the families at RMH in a round about and very cool way.) In fact, Dodger and I are working on the remake of that track for the new album in the Spring of this year. It's called "Don't Let It Hold You Back".

Anyway, they asked me if I could make the original version available as a free download for them to hang on to. So, here it is guys.

Just click on this photo and download it for yourself. Feel free to pass it on to whomever you think might need it today.
