FROM SUMMER 2009

HERE!!!

This is our holiday greeting for 2009.

AND!!!

FIRST! For anyone who's new around here. Okay.... I'm a little kid in so many ways.

AND!

We're getting our first snow in New York City today and tonight.

And.... I love it! I think Central Park in the snow is among the most romantic places on the face of the earth. (Makes me wish I had someone to share it with this year!)

BUT! It's beautiful.

The whole city quiets down when it snows. For a while everything gets soft and white, and for a while there's a feeling that gets just a little bit more palpable... that feeling we often get in this town, that we're all in this together. (I think it's possible that people who live far apart or spread out from each other, like in Sarah Palin's real America, don't ever get to feel that feeling as strongly as people who live in a city like New York.

A few years back a couple of people sent this photo in to the website. It seems that besides "That Guitar Man from Central Park", during the winter months there's also a "Snow Man from Central Park" who plays a stick and sings in exactly the same spot I do in the summer months.

Here's something I bet a lot of you didn't know. I wrote a song a long time ago that specifically talks about "Central Park in the snow" and this time of year. It's something that was recorded years ago and so the quality of the recording is not wonderful.... but, I do love the song and the way the music and lyric work together.

It's today's free download.

IN MY ARMS THIS CHRISTMAS

Now... as I said earlier this week, I've flipped the sign!

BUT!

We had a blast at "THE SOMETHING'TH ANNUAL YEAR END CONCERT" this past Saturday night. We really did. If you were in that theater with me, you know... we laughed, we cried, we had a great time together. We made another memory this year... another keeper.

James Marino - - my good friend, webmaster, and the evil genius of this website fed a LIVE stream of the concert to the entire world last Saturday night. (It was a first-time attempt to see what's possible with this kind of thing and we've learned a lot from the experience.) I heard from people in different parts of the country, from people here in New York city who couldn't make it to the show in person, and from people as far away as London and Stockholm. That's.... very cool.

But since this was an experiment, this might be a little buggy. It took some time to crank it up and so the beginning of the concert is missing. And the audio timed out for about 20 minutes right in the middle of the show. (During Teresa Reynold's solo, George Wurzbach's "I'm God" and my song from the new album "Some Wounds Never Heal")

Dammit!

But, most of the show is here.

I'll be back with clips of those missing sections later this week.

In the meantime, ENJOY the gig!!! (Make a cup of coffee or pour yourself a drink. the video is about 2 and half hours long!)

Okay...

Listen, I'm gonna be back this weekend with another update. I'm gonna try to break down the concert into smaller segments... highlights... to make watching it easier. And I'll be back with some still photos sent in to the website by Laura Manske and others.

In the meantime, if you're new around here are the links for the 2 brand new galleries.

After you're all done here, here's another fun thing to do. (Especially if you're new around here.) Browse through "The Archive".

It's a Wonderful Life!!!!
