Hey!

Thanksgiving Weekend!

You havin' a great time!?

Man! If you know me at all you know how much I love this town. I mean, I write songs and I sing them for people. That's cool. And, in the warm summer months I become "That Guitar Man from Central Park".

I get to share my music, my thoughts, some stories and feelings with the people of this great town, people from all across the country and from different parts of the world. (And I have the emails to prove it!!!)

But in December, for I honestly don't know how many years, we all get together and kick the year in the ass as it heads out the door. It's become a yearly tradition. It's just one more thing I love about this town and this time of year.

Got some ideas for the gig and some songs I wanna run this week. (More about the concert further down the page.)

Time to head "indoors".

Okay...

THE CONCERT

I am the luckiest man on earth to be able to do what I do for a living. I mean, I write songs and I sing them for people. I can always tell people, "You can know that you're doing what you're meant to be doing because.... it just feels Good, with a capital G." And you guys have made me "That Guitar Man from Central Park" for 18 years now. Very under-the-radar. What a gig! What a Life! Thank you!

At the end of every lap around the Sun we get together and kick the year in the ass as it heads out the door in a great music venue near Lincoln Center... Merkin Concert Hall in the Kaufman Center.

This year we'll be doing a whole bunch of new songs from the latest album, and I'll be joined on stage by some of the most generous, open-hearted, talented, good people... really wonderful artists. George Wurzbach, Ryan Cavan, Nelson Montana, Dave Marcus, Chris Tedesco and Cenovia Cummins. Folk-legend, Christine Lavin is gonna be in the house and will probably jump in on a few things. The man who brought The Beatles to America, Mr. Sid Bernstein, is gonna be in the audience so we'll all be in the company of American music history. AND... we laugh as much as we sing at these gigs.
