"One more time around the Sun... I hope we find our way."

.

(Damn! I must love quoting myself!)

I know. I know. We only live in... this moment.

Still... 20 years ago today something pretty Life-changing happened in my world. It's one of the reasons I'm always saying, "I feel like the luckiest man alive." But I can tell you this -- if something very special didn't happen on that day all those years ago, I'm pretty damned certain there wouldn't even be a "That Guitar Man from Central Park".

Yet, I've learned that every time I use the world "if" in a sentence I'm talking about something that does not now nor ever has existed. And like I wrote in a more recent song...

"Every single thing that happened, had to happen... 'cause it did."

Whew!

ANYWAY!!! Here we are today! And I've got these 2 new songs which are just starting to find their legs out there in the YouTube world. This week, I'm gonna try to have at least 2 more songs from the concert up and ready for you guys to pass around to all your friends and family. Kinda cool. Especially if you were lucky enough to be at the "Year End" concert a few weeks ago.

WATCH BOTH OF THESE VIDEOS IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY -- and then shoot me an email to tell me what you think and how you feel about them... if you haven't already!

Here's the first:

THE CONCERT

For you guys again today... the entire concert... "The Something'th Annual Year End Concert" is here for you to watch. Go make a pot of coffee. Pour yourself some tea or a nice glass of wine and sit back and watch this thing. Plug in some headphones or some earbuds if you feel like it. You can actually jump around and watch different parts o the show.

We had such a great time again this year in that theater!

(The audio got a little funky during Teresa Reynolds' Christmas song... but I'm do everything I can to fix that sooner than later. Check back.)
