Welcome back to the website.
Hope you guys had a wonderful week, no matter what you were doing. I wound up having a very sweet day on Thursday with ALL of my sisters in one place. (I've got 4, y'know.)
Now, it's back to the music... the "possibility"... the new Creative projects that are on the horizon... the "kickin' up a little shit once in a while"... the fun.
Y'know, the rain here in New York City washed away the snow for now. And "The Hill" in Central Park where I play is lookin' kinda cold and lonely. (Looks just a little bit different in the summer when I'm out there playing and we're all hangin' out together, sharing music and laughs.)
. 
Looks a little different, hah?
It's okay. It's all cool. We'll be getting together very soon... indoors... for a couple of really cool events.
The first one is comin' up in January.
THE 8 YEAR CONCERT
I wanted to do something to celebrate this presidential inauguration on January 20th... AND have a concert to retire so many of the songs I'd felt compelled to write over the past 8 years of this national nightmare.
So!
On Saturday night, January 24th, we'll all get together in H.I. New York Performance Hall and sing a bunch of those songs one last time and retire them forever!
We'll sing other stuff, too. It'll be a blast. But, I wanna get everybody who senses Hope and Possibility in a room so we can feel this release together! (Then, of course, we have a LOT more work to do!)

H.I. New York Performance Hall - 891 Amsterdam Ave @ 103 Street
Now!
If you were at the "Year-End Concert" in Merkin Concert Hall, you know what kind of kick these things are. BUT, Merkin Concert Hall seats 450. In H.I.N.Y. Performance Hall there are only 150 seats. So, it's a lot more intimate and the way it works is this.
You click on the banner to reserve your seats right now, today, 24 hours a day. There are no actual, physical tickets. You just reserve as many seats as you need and your name will be put on the guest list at the door, okay? Whoever comes with you will also be under your name. For example:
Hedleston, Jim - 2
Marino, James - 2
Von Trapp, Maria - 8
That kinda thing.
It's general admission... first come first serve. The concert starts at 7:30 but the house will open at 7:00.
Cool?
Okay... have at it! Grab some seats! Here's the banner.

Click on this banner to put your name on the list at the door.
OR...
You can just show up that night with a $20 bill. I'll let you know if it's lookin' like a sell-out as it gets closer, okay?
Um.... if you're new around here, take a few minutes to it the ARCHIVE and browse through the site. There are lots of really fun Photoshop images, FREE songs to download, all kindsa stuff.
Stuff like this!
