Hey... did a great job yesterday and worked with some amazingly nice and professional people. Damn! I love my life.

Rainy day here in New York City today.

And, it's lookin' like the weather might be a little shaky through Saturday. (Might see a little Sun.)

But, y'know what? For the first summer in a long, long time I'm not getting a permit for every Saturday anyway. So, we won't be able to hang and do what we usually do in Central Park tomorrow. (Something going on in the Permit Office. Don't even ask! Ha! It'll only make you mad and life's too short.)

But, don't worry. We'll be back out there a week from tomorrow, weather permitting.

AND... tomorrow I'll be out on Long Island doing a set in a benefit concert to help fight ALS. (Lou Gerhig's Disease) It's out in Centereach and my buddy Sid Bernstein is coming with me to introduce my set. Oughta be cool. (More about that further down the page.)

But, listen FIRST let me tell you about the next concert that's coming up at H.I. New York Performance Hall. It's gonna be on June 7th. (That's only about 3 weeks away. So, you might wanna start thinking about calling a few friends and reserving seats now.)

You can do that right here... right now if you want. Today! You know the deal! We just hang out and sing, make it up as we go along, make it all about the music and well... y'know, "It's just us". I'm gonna roll out few brand new songs that are still kinda works-in-progress. I'm gonna introduce you all to a new female artist.... Julie Kathryn.

DON'T GET SOLD OUT OF THIS ONE! Seating at H.I.N.Y. is general admission and ALL the seats are only $20. Here's the link to reserve seats and get your name put on the list at the door:

SATURDAY NIGHT, June 7th - 8:00

Roger Bartlett will be there, and Janet Kirker and Dave Marcus. And hopefully YOU. It's actually only about 3 weeks away!

Really hope you call a few friends and decide to hang with me for a night of music and laughs.

And, we'll sing "Keep Hope Alive"

Like our surprise guest did a couple of Saturday's ago.

Now, this new tune, this work-in-progress... this song was NOT written to relate to the Obama campaign in any way. It was written around a voice mail I received from Sid Bernstein one morning. But, it's kinda interesting that I've been approached by so many anti-Obama people who think I wrote it for Senator Obama's campaign. (Kinda funny that they dislike a man they so closely associate with something as despicable... as HOPE!)

Here... I made it available as a free download for you here at the site so you can learn it and sing it with us on June 7th.

OKAY, NOW!!!

About this benefit concert I'm gonna be playing to help in the fight against Lou Gerhig's Disease (ALS) this Saturday instead of playing in Central Park.

IF YOU'RE OUT ON LONG ISLAND!

Here's a flier about the gig.. It's got all the correct information on it.

I'm told my set will be around 5:30 or 6:00

In case you live out there and you missed the initial announcement, I was asked by this really nice guy to be a part of a benefit concert. Like I said, Sid's comin' with me and I think we're gonna have a blast!

It's in Centereach. Okay? I think it's gonna be a really fun show.

Okay, I'm outta here. Check back tomorrow.

But, seriously... check back really soon to reserve seats for the JUNE CONCERT. Start calling a few friends and make plans!

Hopefully I'll see you in the park as often as I can!!!!

Thanks for everything.
