Hey guys... Monday I will be back to all the things I've been working on. I'll get back to some of the new songs I'm writing, the Stephen Colbert stuff...

But right now, here in New York City it's gonna be 60 degrees today... on a weekend in March. Get's you thinkin' about hangin' out in the park. As Will Geer's character says in the great Sidney Pollack film Jeremiah Johnson - -

"March is a green muddy month..."

Yeah.... by the end of the month, green buds begin to pop out on tree branches in the park in Central Park. But, at that time we're still weeks away from hanging out together on the soft grass of "The Hill" by The Lake.

And besides, I can't play a note until the permits start coming in from the Parks Department.

So, once again... this is a very lean time of year for me. (Not that I mind all that much. I love my Life and my work. And like my new song says, I wouldn't have it "any other way".)

BUT... that also means it's time for the PERMIT FUND '09

Now look, if you've been coming around here and you're one of "The People on the Hill", you know what all this is about. You know I always welcome your help. You can just hit that button over there on the right of this page, or you can click on this link.

BUT if you're kinda new around here, or you're feeling a little shaky about the economy, I have a...

SPECIAL MESSAGE FOR YOU THIS YEAR

Just that time of year.

But, if it's not something you can do, or it's not something you feel like doing.... like I said, don't even think twice, okay?

Cool.

.

Okay.... back to our regularly scheduled program!

I guess if you've been following this website for the past few weeks, since the "Return to Merkin Hall" concert of February 26th... you know that I haven't been speaking to Stephen Colbert.

Well, today I just decided to post a little gallery of some of my favorite images and memories of times with Stephen, the good and the bad.

Click on some of the images for a larger version. Feel free to copy them an email them to your friends who might be fans of "The Colbert Report".

I'll be back on Monday to continue updating the situation with Colbert.

Anyway....

Keep checking back here for the next concert. Hopefully, I'll come up with a venue or an idea... or something soon. (Gotta pay the rent!!!)

Hey listen! If you're new around here.... there's a lot to check out. Besides being a self-described "possibility-junkie", I was explaining to one woman that I'd also become a photoshop-junkie. You can hit the "Archive" here and search through hundreds of updates. A lot of cool stuff here at the site. FREE songs. Cartoons.

Have fun.

See you back here tomorrow.

Thanks again.
