Hey...

Welcome to the website.

I don't know where in the world or where in the country you're reading this, but here in New York City and up and all along the Northeast Coast... we got our first good taste of Winter.

But, it's sooooo pretty! And I have often said, I feel that Central Park in the snow is simply one of the most romantic places on the face of the earth.

These photos were sent in by a young woman from France who hangs out with us on "The Hill" all summer. (Elodie Pauwels)

Now... today is, of course, the day of the year when the Sun is lowest in the sky and the darkness lasts longest. But like everything else in Life, the flipside is good news. Starting tomorrow... the days are getting longer.

Still, hey!!! One day at a time and a little later this week... Santa Claus is comin' to town!

Okay, I hafta get out into this town and do some last minute Christmas shopping today!!! If you see me around town,be sure to say "Hey!"

But, if you missed yesterday's update you might wanna check it out. I took a little time out from the ordinary to tell you guys a little story. It's kind of a long story.... but it's a good story.

Okay now...

HERE!!!

This is our holiday greeting for 2009.

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

BUT!

We had a blast at "THE SOMETHING'TH ANNUAL YEAR END CONCERT" a couple of weeks ago. 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 tomorrow 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!!!!
