Okay... LET'S GET OUT THERE!!!

The weather looks like its gonna be even more beautiful than yesterday. The rain is gonna hold off until late, late tonight. And from what I understand, there are no more superstars giving free concerts. So, it's time for me to head out there and do my own, usual, little free concert in Central Park... for us.

Today... "it's just us".

Yeah, we got shut out of our regular "thing" because of the big Bon Jovi concert. Yesterday it was a fire drill around here at the website. If you went out there to the park looking for me and got caught up in the mayhem at the 72nd Street entrance, I'm so sorry for the late notice. The Parks Department called me at 4:35 Friday afternoon to tell me that the NYPD was shutting us down the next day. They initially wanted to move us to another part of the park, but I figured that NOBODY would be able to find us.

So, we'll just head out to "The Hill" today... and see what the day brings. (You know me. I'm always makin' this up as I go along.)

This is New York. Hey... y'never know.

OUT IN THE PARK TODAY, I'M GONNA TELL YOU ALL ABOUT THE PLANS FOR NEXT SATURDAY!

it's really exciting.

DON'T MISS IT!

START MAKING PLANS NOW TO BE WITH US NEXT SATURDAY. NO... WE WON'T BE IN CENTRAL PARK!!! We're gonna do something very cool.

We'll be at the 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 a week from today.

By the way... THE RAIN-DATE IS THE FOLLOWING DAY. (SUNDAY, JULY 20) So, go ahead and get your tickets soon. (More about that further down the page.)

Actually, a little further down the page you can put your name on the entrance list in advance!

OKAY!!!

COMING UP A WEEK FROM TODAY!

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.
