Hey guys.... welcome to the website. Welcome to any newcomers and welcome to all of you in different parts of the country and different parts of the world.

Just for today I'm...

"That Guitar Man from Pennsylvania Avenue"

You know how much I love hangin' out with you in Central Park every Saturday. We'll be out there again this coming Saturday. I have a feeling the weather's gonna cooperate.

But today, as you're reading this I'm either on my way to DC, or I'm on my way home, or I'm on stage singing the brand new song for a whole bunch of Good people:

I'm really pleased that the organizers want me to perform the new song. I'm gonna play live to a modified track with all the parts except my lead vocal. Hope that works.

I won't be disappointed if it's NOT a "Forrest Gump at the Monument" moment.

Seriously. Might be huge. Might be a huge event. But, it might not be. I've been involved with protests that have had such hopes, and then no one has shown up. But, I always remember what Margaret Mead once said:

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."

While I'm out of town, I need you to feel a little passion, too. Then translate that passion into just a little action. Seriously, it's been said a million different ways. "Actions speak louder than words" - "Faith without works is dead" - "Want a better world, get off your ass and do something" - (Okay I just made that last one up.)

But, in this case you don't even hafta get up. You can do something by using your imagination and your computer. Send the song to EVERYONE!

Okay, here we go.

Last Friday after I played the "Sunset on the Hudson" concert in the Village, I shot over to the studio with Brian Bauers to do the final mix on the new song called "Resolution". I wanted to release it before all the other songs on the CD, and so we rolled it out as a FREE download on Sunday.

Well, I was nearly immediately contacted by organizers of "Torture Accountability Day" protest in Washington D.C.. They would like me to come to Washington to do the song for our fellows who also care deeply about this issue. (I was going to attend that rally anyway, so of course I said, "YES"!)

So, that's where I am today! I would urge you to be a part of it all by getting to D.C if you can. Or in lieu of that, spend the day sending this song to EVERYBODY you know.... and sending the link to this website to EVERYBODY you know - or send it to your favorite blog or news organization.... or send it to your representatives in Washington.

Here's the link to the event. (Click on the image)

Okay, moving on...

TOMORROW night, it's back down to the Village, back down to the end of Pier 45 at the end of Christopher street for the next installment of the "Sunset on the Hudson" concert series. That's where we play the Sun down from 7:00 to 9:00.

Very cool.

Moving on...

Then SATURDAY... oh man!!! I am soooooo looking forward to Saturday!

I'm putting my guitar on my shoulder and heading back out to "The Hill" in Central Park where I belong. It's the place in New York City that most feels like home to me. If you're gonna be in town, please come and hang with me.

THEN....

...a kind of a dream come true for me.

On Sunday, another cause. Another opportunity to use my music and presence for something that really matters. And... I'm going to be sharing a stage for the first time in my life with a man I feel is truly both an American hero and a music legend... Mr. Pete Seeger. I'll be appearing at:

New York City's First Annual Water Festival

Featuring Pete Seeger and friends.

Alright, I gotta get to work gettin' ready for all of these events. It's all very cool.

But, I'm really so lookin' forward to hangin' with all of you in Central Park on Saturday afternoon. hope I see you there.

Thanks for everything.
