Another rainy day here in New York City. Got a good one today on "I Love the Company". Playin' a couple of your phone calls and a couple of tracks that some of you might already be familiar with. If you're new here... WELCOME!
Here in New York City... man! We had another great day out in Central Park this past weekend.

BAD NEWS, though.
(Now, don't get all pissed off. This is just the way Life goes sometimes.)
We've got several friend/fans who have traveled several times, one from as far away as Pennsylvania, just to spend an afternoon in the park with all of us. I just heard that Pennsylvania-guy's planning to come and hang out again this weekend.... BUT!!! Once again The Permit Office of the NYC Department of Parks and Recreation isn't giving us the Special Events Permit for this coming weekend.
I know, I know.
It kinda sucks. But, y'know... the whole park doesn't revolve around us... singin' in Central Park. The shame of it is... I think the whole thing could really work out the way it always has.
And, I know the folks in the office have their own feeling about it. But, I've been doing this for 16 years... and for 16 years, every time there is a 30-minute wedding ceremony in The Ladies Pavilion out on Hernshead, I've been extremely courteous and thoughtful and stopped playing. Very, very often the newlyweds will come over afterwards and share their first dance with "The People on the Hill". But... there is a new woman running the Permit Office this year and she feels it's a problem.
(It's her job and she's entitled to run things the way she sees fit.)
Ah-ha!!! Maybe it's not her fault! Maybe it was that one cranky minister from last summer. Remember her? She was nasty! (But, we still stopped playing and singing and everyone was completely polite to her.) But, maybe that awful woman has been complaining or something.
Oh well. Last I'm gonna say about it.
Movin' on.
Here's the latest edition of "I Love the Company". Playing some more of our phone calls and a couple of great tracks of music.

OKAY, NOW... call me!!!
Especially if you're new here, or if you're new here and reading this in a different part of the country or a different part of the world, pick up the phone and let me know where you're at! Here are the numbers:
Anywhere in North America:
646-224-8162
In Europe:
+44 845 280 6622
BTW... I'm playing some of your phone calls on ILTC and I'll have a bunch of them on the next WTV. So, get busy!
Now, this next thing is cool. (And, I really want you to use those numbers to let me know what you think of this little project.)
It's tentatively called "Lunch with Sid", and I ultimately want it to be a video series which will be interactive with all of you. You'll be able to call the show and ask questions and make comments... relate stories. It'll be very cool. It's basically just a series of very candid and sweet conversations with a one-of-a-kind, music-business legend.... the man who brought The Beatles to America and changed American music forever...
