Hey!

It's f*cking HOT in New York City today!

But... We've got MUSIC. We've got shade!!! AND, WE'VE GOT A WATER SPRINKLER GOING WITH COLD WATER ALL DAY! So bring a bathing suit or stroll through in your clothes. It's that hot! It's that cool. And this thing is gonna be FUN!

But NOT in Central Park!!!

Call a few friends today! Or make plans to come by yourself. THEN... pack a picnic, pack a beach towel grab, a blanket and head over to H.I. New York Performance Hall on Amsterdam Ave. @ 103rd Street around noon.

I'M NOT GONNA BE SINGING IN CENTRAL PARK TODAY!!! I'm NOT gonna be where I usually am, doing what I've been doing for so many years!

Today is the day for me to host the...

"Upper West Music Fest"

>I'm playin' it and hosting it!

What are you doin' this afternoon?

Call a few friends today! Or make plans to come by yourself. THEN... pack a picnic, grab a blanket and head over to H.I. New York Performance Hall on Amsterdam Ave. @ 103rd Street around noon.

Go to the lobby and then out through the courtyard to the beautiful backyard grounds of the place!

.

THEN... relax and hang out all afternoon until 5:00 with the nicest, music-lovin' people in the greatest city on earth. Do NOT miss out on being a part of the very first one. Here are the artists who are gonna share music and laughs with you guys all day!!!

(NOT just me for a change!!!)

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

Click on their photos to visit their websites.

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.

The advance ticket sales are finished, so you can just show up with 10 bucks! Of course this thing will be general admission, just gonna find a place to put your picnic blanket, and the whole afternoon of music is only $10.

Go ahead... call a few friends and head over there! If it rains, we'll turn right around and do it Sunday!!! (RAINDATE - Tomorrow!)

(But, I think it's gonna see a typical New York summer afternoon!)

Sound good?

Cool.

OH... BY THE WAY!

I'm still waiting for all of you who were out there in Central Park last Sunday to email me with your explanations about "The Wizard of Oz" question I posed to all of you!

Anyway... everybody reading this in different parts of the country and different parts of the world, go ahead and click on this link to hit the "Archive" page". There's a lot of cool stuff on this site. (Photoshop images, political cartoons, FREE songs to download.)

In fact... there was a Super Update a couple of weeks ago with a full gallery! Knock yourself out..

I hope you keep stopping by here every day. And if you dig this kinda thing, I hope you turn a few friends onto it as well.

Keep in touch.

If you're here in NYC... SEE YOU AT THE FESTIVAL!!!!

Thanks for everything.
