HEY!

Got a great idea for easy Christmas presents if you're gonna be here in New York City next weekend! (A little further down the page.)

Welcome to the website! Welcome to everyone reading this in a different part of the country or a different part of the world.

But, last night we had little dusting of snow in New York!

NOW it's feeling a little bit like it's really time for...

"The Something'th Annual Year End Concert"

Okay, so we didn't have enough snow to be riding a reindeer through Central Park. But, it does get me psyched to be heading to Merkin Concert Hall in one week to hang out with so many of the same people I see out at "The Hill" by the Lake!

By the way... you guys know that the event next week is NOT really a "Christmas" concert... right?

That's why we call it a "Year End Concert". But, if you need to get someone a Christmas present...

...y'know what? I've got TWO ideas. The first is to bring them to this gig!

The Merkin Hall box office is open today between noon and 7:00 if you wanna call directly for tickets.

(212) 501-3330

Or, you can just grab them online right now! I'm gonna head down to the box office tomorrow to find out exactly how many seats are left. At last report there were a little less than 200 tickets left. (Remember, there ain't a bad seat in that room. Even the balcony is right on top of the stage.)

I've already got the feeling this is gonna turn into one of those special nights...one of those nights when that hall is filled with amazing people and wonderful energy.

Man! I think we're all ready for it! It's gonna feel good.

Oh, and here's the second idea!

If you're coming to the concert next Saturday night, get there a little early or plan to stay a few minutes after the show! there's a song that EVERYBODY has been asking me for. It's a song that I'm gonna be doing in the concert called "This Moment". (It's not on any of my CDs yet.)

SO! I made a special edition CD just for the concert.... with "This Moment" and a bunch of other songs. There are even a few songs from the now out-of-print Christmas album. ("Just a Thought for Christmas")

So, bring some extra cash. If you buy any of the other CDs for gifts or for yourself, you can take that special CD for FREE! Or, you can buy that CD for only $10 on it's own.

Cool? (And... ha! The thing about giving CDs is that they're so damned easy to gift wrap!)

Now, for the gig... if this helps at all, here's a seating chart for Merkin Hall. See? The stage is actually designed for orchestral stuff. So, it's very wide. That just means the entire house is really very near the stage... very intimate. And the place sounds great! Not a bad seat anywhere in that room.

BTW - pay attention to that dotted line. See? The balcony is like right near the stage!

Oh listen... TODAY'S FREE SONG DOWNLOAD is a song that I might have started writing when I was about 12 years old. (But, I promised someone last night that I'd put it on the site today. A little odd to be playing this song around so many holidays. But, I have a strong feeling Santa Claus wouldn't mind!)

The Religion Song

Alright, I'm outta here. If you're new around here... I've had a lot of fun with Photoshop during the past election year. Here's an update that contained a SUPER BIG PHOTOSHOP GALLERY!

Oh, okay. One more song to download for FREE.

This one was actually recorded at a "Something-th Annual Concert" in Merkin Concert Hall back in 2000.

LOVE THIS LIFE I'M LIVIN'

Thanks for everything.
