Hey guys...

THERE IS SOOOO MUCH GOIN' ON!

FIRST! Yes... it looks like I'm gonna be heading back out to Central Park this Saturday. Maybe we'll roll a longtime tradition. We'll see.

Jon Bon Jovi's gonna be in the park Saturday night. I have a feeling the energy on that patch of green in the middle of the greatest city on earth is gonna be very cool. I know for a fact that some very cool people are gonna be heading to "The Hill" to hang with me all afternoon, including Sid Bernstein, the man who brought The Beatles to America. It's just gonna be one of those days... I can feel it.

Sharing a stage with Bon Jovi is okay. So, I guess sharing a park with him for one day is cool.

Just call me the warm-up act.

I am so jazzed to be hangin' out with you guys again after last week's rainout. I know there are people reading this in different parts of the country and different parts of the world. But, we've been an a streak of rotten-weekend-weather here in The Big Apple. Looks like I'll get back out there this Saturday!

And then, we've got the first annual backyard picnic music festival, featuring Cassie Kubinski, Karlus Trapp, Ivy Vale & Rick Reil (of The Grip Weeds and The Wyld Olde Souls)

... yeah, it's the "Upper West Music Fest" comin' up in 10 days.

By the way... THE RAIN-DATE IS THE FOLLOWING DAY. (SUNDAY, JULY 20)

(More about that further down the page.)

AND... for all our friends out in BROOKLYN! A last minute invitation to be a part of the "Ripple Music Festival" in Fort Greene, Brooklyn.

If you're in Brooklyn and you're one of those people who's always emailing me and telling me I oughta play some more gigs in your borough.... Hope to see you there this Monday night! It's gonna be fun!

All kinds of artists are gonna be playing during this month-long festival. Maybe there'll be a few surprises.

Dammit! I think she's checkin' out my ass!

OKAY!!!

COMING UP IN 10 DAYS!

Our first backyard picnic and music festival - - on July 19th!

"UPPER WEST MUSIC FEST"

Seriously, it's gonna be a ridiculously fun afternoon of great music! But, if this thing doesn't get a great turnout, I'm afraid the powers that be at this wonderful new venue will lose their enthusiasm for the "possibilities" I have in mind for this place... outdoors AND inside the Music Hall this winter. So... grab some friends and make plans to be there!!!

Listen, you can put your name on the entrance list right here, right now... TODAY here at the website! (A little further down this page) And, this gig is ONLY $10 for a whole afternoon of music!!!

Like I said, it's a great lineup of artists. (NOT just me for a change!!!)

2 of my favorites who I've introduced to you guys at different events and venues are gonne be there. The amazing KARLUS TRAPP and the beautiful and talented young singer/songwriter CASSANDRA KUBINSKI.

And, we're also gonna be joined by a couple of fine artists I was just introduced to... 2 people who have real 60s vibe goin' on... Ivy Vale & Rick Reil (of The Grip Weeds and The Wyld Olde Souls)

You'll be able to bring a picnic blanket, food, cold drinks... hang out and listen to a lineup of wonderful, really fun artists all afternoon. (Bring a bunch of friends and bring a little something extra to share with your fellow music lovers. Or, if you want... come by yourself and make new friends.

Saturday afternoon, July 19th (12:00 - 5:00)
