Hey guys... tomorrow is lookin' like it's gonna be a perfect day to hang out in Central Park... share some music and some laughs in the middle of the greatest city in the world.

Got a couple of cool announcements here today... one is about the "Sunset on the Hudson" concert series that was supposed to kick off tonight. Y'know... my old friend and new nemesis, Stephen Colbert, has been secretly coming out to "The Hill" over the years. Maybe he'll pop up down in The Village, too!

But not tonight!
I know a lot of you are reading this in different parts of the country and different parts of the world. But, here in New York City.... it's been raining all day and the satellite imagery looks even worse. So, tonight's gig is CANCELED.
Tomorrow in Central Park, though!!!!
Gonna be GOLDEN!
Hope I see you out there.
Y'know?
There's so much to say.
I love writing songs and singin' 'em for people. I love putting my thoughts and my feelings into song and just lettin' it rip out there.
I really dig writing songs that sometimes "comfort the disturbed... and disturb the comfortable." Just because the Bush administration belongs to history now, that doesn't mean people and artists who care should stop "paying attention".
And, you all know how I consider "The Hill" in Central Park to be kind of a home.
BUT... tonight we were supposed to re-start another gig that has become a tradition - - a really cool way to get the fun and the music and the message to the-below-14th-street-crowd.
But look out the window!
TONIGHT'S GIG ON PIER 45 IS CANCELED!
So, we'll just hafta kick it off next weekend.

Okay... I say this all the time, but it's true - - I'm the luckiest man alive.
And so, I very often try to make a few songs down-loadable for FREE.
Here are a few - a love song, a couple with social consciousness, and... something just for fun.
ANOTHER 15 YEARS
WHERE'S THE VOICE
THE RELIGION SONG
TOM CRUISE SCARES ME
I promised myself I'm gonna start playing more original songs out in the park. I get email after email during the week from people asking why I don't play this song or that song. I'm gonna try to remember to get to more of them this weekend.

Okay... gotta get back to work.
I'll be back here tomorrow with another update.
Thanks for showing up here today. The weather's looking good for another SWELL day in Central Park tomorrow!
Thanks for everything.

PEACE
