Got the BIG picnic event coming up in less than 2 weeks. I tell you all about that in a minute. But first, I hafta ask...

What's all the fuss about?

I mean, I really only read The New York Times. But, once in while I pick up The Daily News for the sports page, comics and the crossword puzzle.

But, EVERY day there's another A-Rod headline on the two tabloid papers... "The Daily News" and "The Rag"... I mean, The Post.

C'mon... every day!

Seems they're all trying to link Alex Rodriguez with Madonna, who lives right across the street from "The Hill" where I play in Central Park.

But, what's the big deal!? Weren't you guys out there with me that day I played "Can't Help Falling in Love" and those two crazy kids came out and danced.

No big deal.

A-Rod's marriage is over?

Um.... hey... New York... WHO GIVES A SHIT!!!

Okay... movin' on.

Y'KNOW WHAT'S COMING UP IN 2 WEEKS!!!?

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

But... YOU ALL HAFTA SHOW UP FOR IT!

Seriously, it's gonna be a ridiculously fun afternoon of great music no matter what! 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!!!

Right now it looks like these artists are lining up to play.

So far... I think we'll have at least 2 of my favorites who I've introduced to you guys at different events and venues. 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)
