Okay...

This has nuthin' to do with nuthin'.

I just think if you watch this video, you can't help but smile.

So.... here!

In this scene, Fred has been coming on to Ginger Rogers as a snobbish ballet dancer named "Petrov". (She doesn't know that he's really an American hoofer who's real name is Pete.)

Okay, glad we started off the update with that.

Hey, if you were out in the park with me last Saturday... THANKS AGAIN for another golden day!

Listen, I'm heading back into the studio tonight to start wrapping the new CD. And this afternoon I'm trying to get a good start on the video for the new song "RESOLUTION".

I'll leave you guys wityh a short update today.

Just wanna let you know, though, that.... yes! I'll be down on Pier 45 tomorrow night for the "Sunset on the Hudson" concert from 7:00 to 9:00. (That's in The Village, all the way at the end of Christopher Street in Hudson River Park.)

Then, yep... back out at "The Hill" in Central Park on Saturday afternoon.

Okay, here's a little sample of the way the song "Internet Angel" is gonna sound on the new CD... the way I originally heard it in my head, the way it wanted to go all along.

INTERNET ANGEL (sample)

Fun, right?

Now... art is just art. I'm sure there are lotsa people who will prefer the rockin' version, and that's cool. But in my soul.... THIS is how the song wanted to be written and recorded.

And, HERE'S A COMPLETE PRE-RELEASE of the song for which a video has GOT to be made. It's a song I wish I didn't have to write: It's a free download, so have at it... and pass it on.
