Hey guys!

Welcome to the website for Friday! I'll give you the lowdown about where I'm playing and where I'm NOT playing this weekend. (Kinda bad news about tomorrow.) We were not issued the Special Events Permit I applied for from the Permit Office at The Parks Department. So.... no music in Central Park this weekend.

Sorry.

But!

I will be playing TONIGHT in Hudson River Park from 7:00 to 9:00. (A little bit more about that in a minute.)

Um, but a couple of things first. One of them is kind of important to me.

If you've been coming around here at all you know that I'm just wrapping up the new album. I'm really jazzed about getting it out to you guys soon. There are songs about Love and Life and hope and sex and romance and, of course, the newest version of "Tom Cruise Scares Me". But, one track on the CD couldn't wait so I released it early... and even put together a video this week to get it out to the public.

It's called "RESOLUTION"

I also asked that each of you take just a few minutes out of your day to help pass this thing around the internet. Send the the link to everyone you can think of. And most importantly... to LEAVE A COMMENT ON THE YOUTUBE PAGE!

Well, a good, good ol' friend of mine, the guy who used to play fiddle with me back in the Bleecker Street days, took it one step farther. Being the kick-ass artist that he is, he took the time to design a banner for the idea surrounding this song. (You can pass this around the internet, too. Send it to EVERYONE you know!)

The artist's name is Bob Vail. (The guy I often refer to as "MV". Long story.)

Anyway... thanks MV!

Please, please, please... go watch the "Resolution" video and pass the link on to at least 1 friend who might "get it". Then take a minute to leave a comment, no matter how brief, on the YouTube page. It would mean a lot to me.

My friends and colleagues an I worked so hard on the song and the purpose is to raise the level of discourse in this country around the issue of torture, decency, principle and justice.

Now... TONIGHT!

Yes! The "Sunset on the Hudson" concert series picks back up again. I'll be singing and playing the Sun down over the Hudson River on Pier 45 in The Village. It's a very cool thing. Just take the #1 train to Christopher Street and walk west until you either see me, or you get wet, or wind up in Jersey. (I'll be hangin' out in the middle of the Hudson River at the end of Pier 45)

Same kind of hang as in Central Park, only this goes from 7:00 to 9pm and we play the sun down with the Statue of Liberty looking on. Like just about everything else I do, it's FREE.

If you're not doing anything and you need to get that fix of that "It's Just Us" feeling, head down to Pier 45 at the very end of Christopher Street. Bring a blanket and hang out with the below-fourteenth-street-crowd.

Hey...

Really sorry about Central Park this weekend. The following week, we'll all be switching locations for a while.

Remember years ago when the Parks Department would fence off "The Hill" at Hernshead in the middle of the summer season, and we would travel to the other side of the Lake to a hill I call "The Away Game"? (Actually it's called "Cherry Hill") We're gonna hafta head back there starting August 1.

I'll explain tomorrow.

Oh by the way... about "Resolution. If you want a free download of the song: CLICK ON THIS LINK

See you guys here at the site all weekend with a new update every day! If you're new around here, or if you're checking in from a different part of the country or a different part of the world, take a few minutes (or hours) to browse through the ARCHIVE. Lotsa cool shit in there.

Thanks for everything.
