Once again -- for all of you across the country and around the world, welcome to the website. And for all of you here in New York City...
. Welcome to THE WEEKEND!
.
Here's the rundown...
TONIGHT at 7:00 -- I'm heading down to hang out with the "below-fourteenth-street crowd". We always have a good time on Pier 45 at the end of Christopher Street in the Village.
Now listen, when the weather is this hot and unsettled it's always smart to check this website up until late in the afternoon to see if there are any thunderstorms that will rain us out. But right now it's lookin' good for tonight.
MUSIC STARTS AT 7:00 It's a very cool thing. Just take the #1 train to Christopher Street and walk west until you either see me, or you get wet, or wind up in Jersey. (I'll be hangin' out in the middle of the Hudson River at the end of Pier 45.) Gotta be a cool breeze out there!!!
Same kind of hang as in Central Park, only this goes from 7:00 to 9pm and we play the sun down with the Statue of Liberty looking on.
I love this town.
.
And TOMORROW!!!
Back out to Central Park for another afternoon of music and laughs.
Of course, it's always weather-permitting. There is a front moving through New York soon, but timing is everything. So if you're gonna stay in town this weekend, check back here and see what's what.
We're having a great season so far. If you've been out there and you have any photos you'd like to share with the world, send them into this site. Maybe we'll get them posted here.
This gallery is growing every week thanks to people like Sean Friedman, Mary Saliba, Jaan Lutter, Mike Lancaster and others who send in their work... especially Laura Manske!)

Now!!!!
IN WEDNESDAY'S UPDATE... I told you guys that the video for my song about Facebook wound up in a blog by Zoe Ruderman for Cosmopolitan Magazine.
Go check it out. I had fun talkin' to her about the song and the video.
It's so cool. Over a hundred thousand people all around the planet are passing it around. (Must struck a chord inside a few people.)
If you haven't seen it yet...
Click to watch the video of the new facebook song
Pass it on to all you friends. Post in anywhere you want!
I'M ALREADY WORKIN' ON A FOLLOW-UP FOR THAT VIDEO!!!! Brand new song. Brand new idea.
I have one question for you guys. Have you seen any of the Harry Potter movies?
Yesterday, I had one of the best bass players in New York and one of the best female vocalists anywhere jump in on a brand new song that is so, so, so, so, so much fucking fun!
I can't wait for you guys to hear it.
.
Soon.

Okay, for anyone who's new around here... go back through the Archive and catch up a little. And here are a few videos to make you smile.
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
