Oh man! A new episode of the podcast "I Love the Company" is here today. Tell you all about a gig I went to last night.... of a friend who asked me to be in the audience. Maybe even bring you a little audio from his show. And, I'm playing a track from a guy named Jason Robert Brown that I'd really like you guys to call and leave comments about. But, first....

Whew! Another beautiful day here in New York City.

I know a lot of you are reading this in different parts of the country and different parts of the world. But, I have to apologize to anyone I missed last night at the SGA Songwriters Circle in The Village. Yes, I was invited to sit in with those guys again. (And, I think she advertised that I would be on the stage last night.) But I emailed Ann Ruckert a while back to tell her I couldn't be there.

There is a long-time friend of mine (We probably go back about 15 years) named Scott Burrows, who is an incredibly gifted music man.

Well, Scott is a fine, fine songwriter but hasn't gigged-out a whole lot playing his own original tunes. So, last night he decided to change that and did a solo gig at a club uptown called SMOKE.

He had asked me if I would be in the audience for support and I promised I would be, long before I realized it fell on the same night as the SGA Circle. (But, a promise is a promise and priorities are priorities.)

Scott was great last night. Really great. I brought the MP3 recorder "Eddie" with me. On this new installment of "I Love the Company" I'll give you a little taste of Scott's gig last night.

In the meantime, don't know what to tell you about playing in Central Park this weekend except... unless the people in The Parks Department have a change of heart, there will be no music at "The Hill".

A friend from "The Hill" named Stacy actually emailed me the correct name for the location at which we hang every weekend. I'm NOT on Hernshead!!! I'm at Hernshead Landing.... near Hernshead. So, the Permit Office wouldn't technically be double-booking a location. But, I'm thinkin' that might not matter much to the powers that be at this point. I don't know, we'll see how it all works out.The people that run Central Park have a tough job and they do it well. This is just a silly situation in my opinion.

Movin' on!
