Well...
RUNNING FOR PUBLIC OFFICE?
I always said I wouldn't do it.
BUT, THERE'S A VIDEO FOR YOU TO WATCH HERE TODAY that's making it impossible for me to say "no".
I always said I couldn't do it. (I'll explain that a little further down the page.)
I mean, I'm a singer/songwriter. I write songs and sing them for people. I'm "That Guitar Man from Central Park". It's what I do. It's what I love.

But y'know? Sometimes things are just beyond our control. Sometimes, responsibility is thrust upon us. (I just hope it doesn't weigh too much.)
So, do me a favor.
Watch the video... and I'll go for it if you all help me out just a little!
Try to get as many friends as you can to click on this website in the next few days. I'll let you all know THIS SATURDAY in Central Park how we make out... and what I decide to do.
Here, click on this video and I'll explain.

Cool?
Email me and let me know what you think.
Post the URL to my website and send the link to your friends on your Facebook pages, your MySpace pages, your Yellow Pages.
The reason I say, "...I couldn;t do it", is simplay that:
In the 90s the Republicans in this country, through the twisted mind of an asshole named Ken Starr, pointed over $50,000,000 at Bill Clinton when he was president and came up with a blowjob in the oval office. (If they pointed 50 bucks at my past, I'd be toast!)
(sigh)
Okay... back to the update.
**********
I'm getting very close to fleshing out this idea and it looks like it's gonna happen... might become a really cool NYC experience if everyone is up for it and will support it.
It's an outdoor music festival/picnic right here on the Upper West Side of Manhattan on Saturday, JULY 19TH.
Is that something you guys would be up for?
I mean, I'd see if I could put together a lineup of wonderful singer/songwriters and make it a day-long party on the back property of the H.I. New York Performance Hall.

So many of you have already come to the indoor concerts in the new music hall. But, can you imagine a "picnic" on the block-long, back lawn on a beautiful Saturday afternoon or Sunday afternoon?

I'm thinking... music on the block-long back yard lawn. A bunch of musicians who wanna show up and jam. A chance for all of you to actually meet some of the same people you hang out with all summer. A real weekend party with great live music.
Y'think?
If you guys tell me you'd be up for it and could bring friends, then I'll start setting it up! I'm thinkin' you could bring come of your own picnic if you want. Maybe even... everyone could cook up or bring a little somethin' extra to share with the people around you. Might be really cool
Sound good?
OKAY!!!
NOW... here's a little repeat of that gallery I ran a few weeks ago. This is just a random mish-mosh of a bunch of ridiculous things that have been posted here in the past. Let me know if you dig this kinda thing and I'll do more of it. (I'm gonna be making more songs available as FREE downloads as well.)

WELL, THAT'S JUST A SAMPLE!!!
Let me know if you enjoy this kinda thing... if you like the idea of grabbing these images and sending them to your friends - and even people you DON'T like!
Y'know?
Email me if you have any reactions to any of these images, good or bad.
Ha! If any of these images piss you off, definitely email me and let me know why! Because if that's the case, I'm fascinated by you!
Okay... I gotta get back to work.
I hope I see you at any of the places I'm gonna be next weekend!
Thanks for everything.
