Time to head indoors
We're finished for the "outdoor" season. But, it's almost time to get together like we always do to kick another year in the ass as it heads out the door. "The Something'th Annual Year End Concert" is less than 6 weeks away. (More about that in a minute.)
And, before we get to today's update... ROCK ON, NEW YORK YANKEES!!!. Once again, the "good luck girls" are back today!!!
The Yankees took Game #4 last night and now lead the Series 3 games to 1. If they win it all tonight, they're not heading back to the new house for Game 6. But, that'll be cool with me. They'll be coming back with Ring #27.

Moving on!

ABOUT SID BERNSTEIN!
I have a good friend.
His name is Sid.
Okay, if you've been coming to this site you know that I always have some very special guests on stage with me at my concerts, right?
Well, Sid is almost always in the audience. He's gonna be in MERKIN HALL with all of us in 6 weeks. He's wanted to be involved somehow in all the gigs I'm doing. He's living an amazing life. Seriously. He's done so much to make this world a better place it's just amazing and he keeps dreaming new dreams. (That's one reason we've become such good friends.)
But, for the few of you who don't know... Sid changed American music history forever when he introduced The Beatles to America.
. .
Besides that, he brought The Rolling Stones here... ABBA... countless others. He also played such a huge and underrated role in breaking the racial barriers down in this country by being the first promoter to book white and black acts on the same rock 'n roll bill. (He also made James Brown the very first rock n soul act in Madison Square Garden.) He discovered and managed The Rascals. He's also been humbly on the front lines of political activism from the rise of the Nazis, to the current corruption of the American government, from the civil rights movement to the recent assault on The Constitution... he speaks with presidential candidates and people who have no voice. And he has always spoken out where and when there's been a need. Over his lifetime, he's been some amazing places with some amazing people. (Anyway... you just hafta read his book.)
So, Sid has been a promoter, a producer, a manager, an activist for Truth and Reason... he's been immersed in the music business his whole, long life. But he's never played one note. And, he's never written a song.
Until now.
Listen... not that long ago, Sid left a message on my voice mail that became the inspiration and hook-lyric for a brand new song. So, I wrote it... and it's on the new album which you'll be able to buy at the concert. We're gonna do this song on December 12th and I think it would be great if the entire audience was singin' it with us for Sid-man. So, right now...
As you may know I am producing a documentary about "That Guitar Man from Central Park". I would like to ask all David's fans out there to write me and tell me any stories you may have about David and his playing in Central Park and how it has affected you or what it has meant to you. I've already heard some great stories, but I know there are more that I haven't heard. So if you got a story to tell about David and his music, please briefly write it out and send it to stories@thatguitarman.com . I will be contacting people from the stories submitted to interview them for possible inclusion in the film. Thank you and I look forward to seeing everyone on the hill this summer. - Dean
