I'm so grateful to every single one of you who ever hung out with me for even one afternoon in Central Park. It's been an amazing ride and this year was another typically amazing year.
As always, you can check out a few of the countless wonderful moments in Central Park over the past season. (No matter where in the world you're reading this, if you've ever hung out with me you might find your smiling face in one of the galleries!!!)

NOW! I'm gonna kinda take a break today... but I'll be back this weekend with a little surprise for you guys.

But before we get to today's special update, I wanna remind you one more time that...
"The Something'th Annual Year-End Concert"
...is just 2 weeks from this coming Saturday night!
.
So if you haven't done it yet, call a few friends and reserve your seats in that beautiful music venue... Merkin Concert Hall at Kaufman Center.
The box office is closed today. (Saturday) They will be open again tomorrow afternoon. BUT! You can still order tickets online right now to make sure you get the best seats.

So if you don't grab tickets online today, maybe you can make today a day to call a few friends, round them up, make plans to make a night of it.

FOR THANKSGIVING 2010 (A Blast from the Past)
.
Got a little gift for you today. (Okay, okay... I guess it's not really mine to give away or share. But I have a feeling that Arlo wouldn't mind at all.)
Arlo Guthrie is just one of those artists by which I measure and define my own job description as an American singer/songwriter. Back in the Vietnam era, he wrote one of the definitive songs of the anti-war movement. Here he is... performing it live.

Click on the image and sit back... for about 18 minutes!

New York, NY 10025-6990
David is available for private parties and events. Please call (646) 504-7275 for fees and availability.
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
