Man!
I'm up to my ass getting this new CD started. But, y'know? I used to cram for everything in high school, too. I guess some things never change. (More about that later this week.)
Hey listen, first things first. If you were planning to hang out with me this coming Saturday afternoon in Central Park...

... DON'T!
We didn't get a permit from The Parks Department for this coming Saturday afternoon. So, I won't see you guys out there until Saturday, May 23. (Yeah, yeah I know we're getting off to a kind of a slow start this season. But, it's gonna be a golden year. I can feel it.)
Emmy Award-winning filmmaker, Dean Love, is gonna be shooting his movie about all of you and what I've been doing in Central Park all these years. that's a trip. And hopefully, I'll have the new album out there before too long.
Hey listen!!!
You guys know that I play and write all kinds of music. I really can't pigeon-hole a genre when it comes to the stuff I write. I just hafta write the next song that wants to be written.... whether it's a Love song, or a song about commonality and basic humanity.... or it's a song that pokes fun at myself.... or, a song that speaks to what's going on in this country and the world around us.... or, it shines a light on shallow, dangerous assholes like Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly or Dick Cheney.
But, I also play a lot of cover songs. (Song written by other artists.)
It would help me immensely if I knew who your favorite artist of ALL TIME is. Seriously, I'd like to know who you you would say is your favorite musical artist of all time.
Now, I know it's tough to pick just ONE musician or songwriter above all others. So, a lovely woman from "The Hill" named Mary has sent in a system to help you do that.
WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE ARTIST?
Try this system.... it will help. Just follow these easy steps. (It's VERY scientific.)
Pick your favorite number between 1 and 9
Then multiply it by 3
Then, add 3
Then multiply that number by 3
You wound up with another 2 digit number, right?
Okay... now add those digits together.

Also, if you're new around here.... there's a lot to check out. Besides being a self-described "possibility-junkie", I was explaining to someone a while ago 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.
Thanks for everything.
