Today I'm heading up to the Bronx with the man from "The Hill" I call "David Yankee".
He's a great guy who has season tickets up there. So over the years, we've gone to a whole bunch of games together. This year... the Yanks have a perfect record when me when "David Yankee" are in the stands. So, we'll see if we can keep that streak goin' today. (Might have just jinxed it.)

Gonna be fun.
Then after that, I'm heading back into the studio to make a final push on the new CD.
It's really coming along. We were in there last night and I asked Teresa Reynolds to come back in to lay a few vocal tracks in on 2 song. Then Chris Lavin showed up to help out with some vocal work. Man!
I can't wait for you guys to hear it.
Soon.
Here's one of the completes tracks I selected for early release. (It's the only track with a seriously social message in it.) We're gonna try to get some kind of video made for it this week. When we do I'll have a special comment about something that kind of affirmed a feeling I've had.... just by looking at the people in the crowd as we sang it in Central Park last Saturday. If you were out there with me this weekend, I hafta say.... Thanks Again!!!
And thanks for being a part of the making of, what hope will be, a powerful video regarding the new song "Resolution".
But even before that thing is edited and ready for the public, I'll try to get some other video we shot out there up on the site in the next few days. That way, if you were in the park with me and made it into the video, you can share it with all your friends and family across the country and around the world.
Okay... couple of new things around here today. Well, for one thing I see that the webmaster, James Marino, hads posted a link so you guys can do this new FACEBOOK thing with me. It''s not the other FaceBook page that I've got. So if you're connected to that one, join this one as well, okay? It's called a "fan" page... but I prefer to think of it as "the people who hang out with me" page. (It's over there on the right, near the link if you wanna start following me on TWITTER.)
Um, time to get back to the survey.
