Hey! Welcome to the website. Welcome to all of you across the country and in different parts of the world.
But, thank you so much to every single person who hung out with me in Central Park this past weekend! What a day we shared together here in New York City on Saturday!
A few people from "the Hill" have been sending in some great photos from Saturday afternoon.
I'm gonna be back with a kind of a photo gallery a little later.
But, I've got a really busy day today. So, to start off the week I'm just gonna post a little gallery of some of the recent photoshop pics I've been posting here at the site.
HEY! Download any song and copy any photo you find here and feel free to pass them all around the internet.
Okay, some fun stuff. HERE IT IS! The new Sarah Palin parody, "Don't Know Palin"
If you've been coming around here lately, you know we've been having a lot of fun around the choice of Sarah Palin to be John McCain's vice presidential running mate. (You can download the new song a little further down the page, and then pass it all around the internet.)
Click on the image to download the song.
This is not the radio-friendly FCC-pleasing version. This is the version for the rest of us and for podcasters and bloggers who aren't encumbered by censorship.
I rrreeeeeaaallllly want you guys to download this for yourselves, but then pass it on to several friends around the country, especially in those "swing states". (C'mon... this is New York. I know at least half of you have relatives in Florida!)
By the way... if you're new around here and you'd like to check out a more extensive picture gallery, just click on this link.
Now, listen. I've told you guys that I feel the upcoming election in November is the first on in my lifetime that should be.... um... UNANIMOUS!
So, you can imagine how surprised I was when... well...
I was speechless when this guy showed up in the park last Saturday. And, breathless when he said he wanted to sing. (And incredulous when he took his shirt off.) But, what the hell. He wanted to sing "Bomb Iran" but I wouldn't let him. I told him the jokes he repeatedly makes about killing Iranian people aren't funny, and that the thought of him in the Oval Office is about as scary as it gets. So instead, he sang a medley of ABBA hits. That was weird... but safer.
This man is a nightmare. We have work to do.
(sigh)
I know there are always people visiting here who have NO idea what I do!
So, I very often like to make a few songs available as FREE downloads. Here are a few more...
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.) 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.

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. - Dean
