Hey, I'll be right back with a full update. Just quickly wanted to let you know, in 2008 - the next lap around the Sun - like it says in my song...

"...and be a better man next time around."

"I just hope we do a little bit better, and maybe get it right next time around."

In 2008 I am hoping to spend a whole bunch of beautiful days with you in Central Park.

In 2008, during our next lap around the Sun.... I am going to try my best to write down as many stories and experiences as I can remember from our days out there on "The Hill" over the past 16 years.

I'm also going to do my best, with the help of a wonderful circle of friends and fellow artists, to share many, many more nights of music and laughs "indoors" with all of you. (I may even try touring a little so I can play my songs LIVE in your part of the country or the world.)

But, just as importantly (And, this I am passionate about) ... I am going to re-commit to writing songs of Truth, Reason and social sanity to help reverse the tide of fear and propaganda brought about by this so-called right-wing conservative movement in this country which has blindly supported the most unAmerican, unprincipled, criminal and spiritually bankrupt presidential administration in my lifetime.

Be right back.

There's been a lot goin' on these past few weeks, what with the "Year-End Concert" and all. I'm still trying to decompress and catch up at the same time.

But, man! What a night we had the other night, hah? People are still sending me photos and video they shot at the gig. And, my good friend and colleague, James Marino, was running a video camera at the same time he was riding the show in the sound booth. So, I'll see if I can start posting video by next week. In the meantime, here are some photos from a batch sent to us here at the website from a long time "Hill" guy, Phil Carracci.

Okay, let's move on to this week's WTV. I'm answering some of your phone calls and playing a couple of really great tracks that actually have something to say about what's going on in this country. (Damn! I'm still thirsty for more music like this. Fuck... that's why the show is called "WHERE'S the Voice"!)

Anyway, just click on the logo, plug in your headphones, jam in your earbuds or turn on your speakers and listen.(You can always subscribe to the show and get it automatically by hitting that itunes button over there.)

Gotta go.

Gotta get back to the microphone and get the year-end edition of "Where's the Voice" finished.

I'll see you back here soon, okay?

Thanks again.
