I know there are a lot of you here in New York City who made it to the last big gig here in town. But as always, there are also people checkin' in here from across the country and different parts of the world.
Got 10 minutes?
(Okay... 11 minutes.)
Wanna have a few smiles today for absolutely no reason at all?
Let me share a few moments with you from "The Something'th Annual Year-End Concert". This past December, I got to share a stage again with some of the most talented, generous, sweetest, open-hearted, genuinely coolest artists on the planet.... people I am also lucky enough to call "friends".

Do me a favor.
Help somebody shake the mid-winter blues. If you had a laugh or even a smile watching this video, wouldja pass it on to a friend or two?
And here's a FREE song fro the latest album for you to download...
I'll be back tomorrow with another update. In the meantime... you guys know that most of the time, I'm in a state of constant amazement, wonder and gratitude.
Damn! I'm a fan.
I mean, seriously... Look at some of the artists I get to work with on a regular basis.
. . . . Teresa Reynolds, George Wurzbach, Christine Lavin, Nelson Montana, David Marcus, Ryan Cavan, Chris Tedescon, Cenovia Cummins... amazing...
Damn!
I write songs and I sing them for people. Sometimes to make a point.
In my own faltering and completely imperfect way I get to write songs about whatever is on my mind and in my heart. I try to write songs to let the next guy know he's not alone, to touch someone's heart, to make somebody think or to help someone laugh...
We like to laugh around here... A LOT!!!
Thank you all for the phenomenal time we had at Merkin Concert Hall this past December. Here's a little tiny clip from the "This Year's Question" section:
There's a lot more of this video. What a great time we had at that gig! I'll post some more laughs and some songs soon.
But, yeah. Sometimes I play songs... to make a bunch of strangers... SKIP! (Okay, I didn't write this song. But what the hell!)
Have fun. I'll post the longer version and some LIVE songs very soon. And here's just another fun video from last summer... one of those ridiculously cool, spontaneous moments we've all gotten so used to out there in the park every week.
BUT!!!!
I've got a new idea that's kickin' around!!! Hopefully, I'll be able to tell you more about it next week! I'm gonna ask you all to write in and give me your thoughts about it.
Here... here's another for you to download for free.
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
