Every year right about this time I just say to myself, "Okay David. Time to stop thinking. Time to stop planning. Time to stop writing. Time top stop... um... working. It's time to just flip the sign to 'CLOSED' and enjoy the season."
Flipping the sign.
But listen, I'm gonna see if I can get some really good-quality video from "THE SOMETHING'TH ANNUAL YEAR END CONCERT" posted on here between now and the end of the year. We had a blast. 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!)

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
