Welcome to the website. Welcome to all of you in different parts of the country and different parts of the world. So, glad you made it to New York City, to "The Hill" and sooooo glad you're keeping in touch through this website.
Decided this morning I've GOTTA write a new song about that silly, cartoon-ishly hypocritical, shallow-minded... no, I guess "silly" is the best word to describe this blowhard... Sean Hannity.
I mean... Ha! I took the time to write a song about Bill O'Reilly! I can't let this silly little man, Hannity, off the hook.
I'll explain why here at the website very soon.

OH! But that's NOT the idea I was talkin' about in yesterday's update. Check back for that, too. It's gonna be fun. I'm talkin' to my friend and colleague Christine Lavin about it today!
Okay... back to talkin' about things that are Good. Back to the music!
Got a really great string of gigs comin' up.
Tonight, I'm playing a gig over at H.I. New York Performance Hall. (Sorry. That one isn't open to the general public.)
BUT... then tomorrow night I'm gonna be back down on Pier 45 in Hudson River Park for one of the last installments of the "Sunset on the Hudson" concert series. (Hmmmmm. If you guys feel like it, maybe I'll talk to Ian Kaley of HRPT ro see if they wanna extend the series into September this year.)
. 
THEN...
On Saturday, I'm back doing what I do at "The Hill" in Central Park.
Y'know, every afternoon I spend out there is typically amazing in some way. But, I already have a feeling that this Saturday is gonna be something special. Maybe it's because after having the Special Events Permit denied last weekend, and being rained out the weekend before that.... Man! I'm really looking forward to hangin' out with you guys.

THEN... for all of you guys waaaaayyy out east on Long Island, I'm gonna be roadtrippin' this Monday night to play a gig out at The Stephen Talkhouse. (I've never played that venue before. But, it's a great music hall.)

Hey, y'know...
This is an election year and my good friend and webmaster, James Marino, suggested I update a track from my Common Ground album. So, here it is as a FREE download for you guys. (Pass it around to your friends for free. I don't care. It's yours. Have fun.)
"Where'dat Money Go?"
In fact... here are a few more.
CRAZY ON THE SAME DAY
WHERE'S THE VOICE
TOM CRUISE SCARES ME
JESUSLAND
Have fun.
Okay, hope I see you guys out in Central Park on Saturday. I also think we'll kinda celebrate Sid's birthday in the park this weekend. Y'think? Maybe a cake, some music and a few laughs. (A little bit more about Sid Bernstein in yesterday's update. And, I also came up with a way for YOU to wish him a Happy Birthday too, no matter where in the world you are!)
I'm outta here for now.
But y'know, there's always a lot of cool stuff goin' on around here. I'm just makin' this shit up as I go along.. (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. (If you don't like this kinda thing... um.. uh... how the hell did you get all the way to the bottom of this page!?)
The rest of you... keep in touch.
Thanks for everything.
