Sorry about the late update...

...or the "no-update-yet".

I'll be back to tell you guys all about the Obama event I played in Central Park yesterday.

But, right now... here's just a little something from last week.

Check back. I'll be right back.

Yeah. As I received in several emails last night, the operative word was... "bummer".

So sorry about Saturday. I was sure it was a total washout... and then I wound up doing something else and was not able to pull the trigger to head to the park around 3 in the afternoon. (Maybe I should have.) We probably coulda gotten in a few hours during that beautiful afternoon that snuck in.

Damn!

And, then this coming Saturday the Permit Office at the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation is NOT issuing the permit I applied for. (This is the first summer since 2001 they seem to be arbitrarily withholding our Special Events permits.)

Bummer... again.

Oh well. Here's a pretty cool thing.

TOM CRUISE

I know there are always people visiting here who have NO idea what I do! And like I always say, I know there are people reading this in different parts of the country and different parts of the world.

Well... Thursday night I was playing a little barbecue gig at H.I. New York Performance Hall... which is located at Hostelling Internationals most beautiful youth hostel.

.

After the my set, a young guy from Denmark comes up to me and says, "That song you played, that one about Tom Cruise being scary... did you write that?"

I, of course... y'know... admitted that I did. And, he said, "Oh man! Me and my friends in Denmark love that song. Did you know there's a video of that song on YouTube!?"

I just started laughing. I think that is soooooo fucking cool! The world is getting to be a very small campus!

So, I very often like to make a few songs available as FREE downloads. Here are a few more...

CRAZY ON THE SAME DAY
WHERE'S THE VOICE
TOM CRUISE SCARES ME
JESUSLAND

Anyway... everybody, 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.

A note from filmmaker Dean Love...

As you may know I am producing a documentary about "That Guitar Man from Central Park". I would like to ask all David's fans out there to write me and tell me any stories you may have about David and his playing in Central Park and how it has affected you or what it has meant to you. I've already heard some great stories, but I know there are more that I haven't heard. So if you got a story to tell about David and his music, please briefly write it out and send it to stories@thatguitarman.com . I will be contacting people from the stories submitted to interview them for possible inclusion in the film. Thank you and I look forward to seeing everyone on the hill this summer.
