Hey guys!!!

Were you out in the park with me yesterday!?

Are you one of the new people just checking in here for the first time?

Are you a regular who's been showing up here for a while?

Listen, no matter what... gotta say here once again.... THANKS SO MUCH!

I'm so sorry we cut the day short in Central Park yesterday! When the wind picked up and the skies began to darken over New Jersey around 3:15, I thought for sure that it was gonna dump on us big time.

The rain held off until nighttime.

Damn!

Oh well. I had a really good time running some of the brand new songs by you guys. And it was great to have my friend and colleague, JC, come out and lay down the rap section on the new song "Resolution". That was a first!!! Gotta get Teresa Reynolds out there now.

The timing might be right for good people of Reason to get behind this song and start passing it all around the internet.

Here's the song.

TONIGHT... I'm back in the studio to really make a final push for the finish line on the new CD. One more song to track. The rest are almost all completely mixed. So, keep checking back here all week. I might be able to give you a tentative release date for it. (I'm just glad that I might be able to schedule some kind of CD release concert before we get to Merkin Hall in December!!!! Some of these songs turned out to be much bigger than I originally thought. But the amazing people with whom I'm lucky enough to work, make the whole process a f*cking joy.)

Tell you what...

We'll get back to naming the CD, but what I'll do this week is give you guys a little sample of some of the tracks so that you're not basing your suggestions solely on the titles of the songs. I'll give you samples like this track from the new collection.

INTERNET ANGEL (sample)

Fun, right?

Here are the titles of the other tracks on the CD, in no particular order.

1. Any Other Way
2. Mary Learns to Fly
3. Here today
4. Internet Angel (original version)
5. Some Wounds Never Heal
6. I Can't Wait (Unplugged)
7. Tom Cruise Scares Me '09
8. Did You Fall in Love Again (Solo acoustic version)
9. Resolution: The Torture Song
10. Keep Hope Alive
11. What Made America Famous
12. This Moment

Okay, here are the suggestions from which to choose.

PICK A TITLE

1. Here Today
2. Any Other Way
3. And a Generation Later...
4. This Moment
5. The White Album

Or, write in a suggestion of your own! CLICK ON THIS LINK TO SEND IN YOUR SUGGESTION. Vote for your favorite, and I'll keep you posted in the front-runners. We'll keep this thing going until the mix on the last track is final. I've been getting a truckload of responses to the survey. (It's kinda funny. I'm actually getting more original write-in votes and suggestions than selections from the list of possible titles I posted.)

But among the suggested titles, the leaders right now are:

1. Here Today
2. Any Other Way
3. This Moment

(Seems only a few of you thought "The White Album" was a good idea!)

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.)

See you guys here at the site all week with a new update every day! If you're new around here, take a few minutes (or hours) to browse through the ARCHIVE. Lotsa cool shit in there.

Thanks for everything.

PEACE
