Hmmmmm.

What d'you think about today?

I think the weather is gonna cooperate until about.... um... 4:00 or 5:00.

Until then, we're gonna have a great day in Central Park. I could be wrong. It's a very shaky, very unsettled sky we've got moving over The Big Apple later today. But if it's still lookin' this cool by noon... I'm heading out there to do what we do.

I've actually got a really good feeling about today if we get out there early and are ready to run later in the day.

And thanks to all of you who showed up last night in The Village for the "Sunset on the Hudson" concert. I had a really good time last night. (Although I think there are an awful lot of New York City parents with young children who just might be raising the next generation of thoughtless people.)

Anyway, to all of you reading this in a different part of the country or a different part of the world... WELCOME. I'm getting really close to announcing the release of the new collection of songs.

You guys are helping to name the album and 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!)

Back to the survey.

NAME THE CD

The chore of picking the name for the new CD is gonna fall to you guys this year.

I'll give you a choice of 5 titles that I'm thinking of, and you can choose from them. I'll also give you the list of the tracks that are gonna be on the album. You can pick one of the songs to be the title track. OR... you can write in a suggestion of your own.... something you feel the CD should be named.

Okay, here are the tracks that are gonna be 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.

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.

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, 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.
