March 17th.

Okay! No throwing up today.... and no hangover tomorrow!

Ah! That's just one of the beautiful things I love about being a man who doesn't drink or do drugs! (Got a good feeling that fact might help me to be a much finer artist, too... because life is real and unfiltered.)

Very cool.

NOW!!!

I announced yesterday that the tickets went on sale for the upcoming "Spring Concert". The show is called...

"That Guitar Man from Central Park -- 19 Years Old"

Because it was 19 years ago on June 14 of 1992 that I first went out to "the Hill" and "That Guitar Man" was born. Damn! I've been playing music and sharing stories and thoughts and feelings, sharing genuine success and failure, fulfillment and heartbreak... Life... with the people of New York City and friends from across the country and around the world for an entire generation, now.

So... we're gonna get together for a night to kinda celebrate the beginning of another season in the park.

Friday, April 30th -- 7:30

THE LEONARD NIMOY THALIA
Broadway @ 95th Street

This is gonna be a fun, fun gig! I'm gonna be joined on stage by a lot of the same people we had so much fun with at "The Something'th Annual Year End Concert".

George Wurzbach, Ryan Cavan, Nelson Montana and the beautiful and talented Teresa Reynolds.

But this time, ordering tickets is a little bit different!

This theater is a lot more intimate than Merkin Hall. (Only 154 seats) And there isn't a bad seat in the house. It's really gonna feel very, very cool. If you don't wanna get sold out of this gig, you should probably start thinking about calling a few friends and getting tickets in advance. For 2 reasons -- this theater is a lot smaller than Merkin Concert Hall, and... if you get them in advance, ALL seats are only $25. If you wait until the day of the show, all seats are $30.

So, save yourself five bucks and get them in advance!

You can get them online right now by clicking on this banner:

Or, you can call the box office directly:

This is gonna be fun!

Seriously... don't get sold outta this one!

We have a lot of fun around here.

Um...

By the way, I say this allthe time... but I've noticed there are a oot of new people hitting this site. If you've got a few minutes, or a WEEK, you might wanna hit this ARCHIVE LINK and start working our way backward through the updates. It's actually kind of fun and a little bit nostalgic to see how different issues and events of the day have been addressed here at ThatGuitarMan as the years flew by.

And there are FREE songs to download in many, many of the updates. There are songs that have never appeared on an album. There are original cartoons and Photoshop images, lots of video...

Hey listen...

All of you who've been coming around here, whether in met you in Central Park, or if you've been to any one of the sold-out shows in Merkin Concert Hall, or if I met you at the Sunset Concert Series downtown, or if I met you in the Turks & Caicos Islands or in Germany or anywhere else I've played...

You all now how much I love doing what I do with my Life. I'm the kind of man who, even when I'm in a room by myself... I like the company.

It's wonderful feeling to know who you are and what you're meant to be doing in this world.

I'm completely comfortable being me.

And a lot of that has to do with all of you.

If you're new around here, you might wanna start wit this little gallery of photos from last summer which were shot my Laura Manske and others that lots of people have sent in to the website.

Hey! Here are the links for the 2 new galleries.

Yeah... winter in NYC can seem long. But TODAY fells like Spring is here!!!

That's just one more of the beautiful things about this amazing town is that it's right near the ocean, and it's in a place on this earth where we can see snow at Christmas and just a few months later we get to lose the laundry and start hangin' on the beach or in Central Park.

Man! I love this town!

. .

And here are a couple of songs to download for FREE. (They're from the latest album.)

INTERNET ANGEL

MARY LEARNS TO FLY

ANY OTHER WAY

Got another 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".

JUST CLICK ON THE IMAGE TO WATCH

Do me a favor.
You know somebody who might be suffering from a little Spring fever? If you had a laugh or even a smile watching this video, wouldja pass it on to a friend or two?

As always... you guys know that most of the time, I'm in a state of constant amazement, wonder and gratitude. 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.

Love you all.

(no kiddin'.)

A note from filmmaker Dean Love...

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
