For any newcomers, let's start off with a little photo gallery from last year's "outdoor" season.

In just a few weeks, I'm going to be starting year # 20 in Central Park. That's very cool. But I've got a lot of work to do between now and then on this new theatrical project. I'm really hoping that YOU might wanna be a part of this in a very real way. As always -- It's just us!
Thanks again to every single one of you who showed up to sit in on that little work-session this past Saturday night. I know most of you it was the first time you ever hung with me and my guitar. I hope you got the idea of where we hope we're heading with this project!
One of the songs I mentioned that didn't make it into that session is a song called "Can't You See?". (No. No, not the song by The Marshall Tucker Band!) Same title, VERY different song!

I'm getting a lot of email about one of the songs that did make it in. (Tom Cruise Scares Me) Yeah, I think a couple of those new lyrics will make it to the summer season... especially the verse about Snookie from "The Jersey Shore".
TCSM is kind of featured in the pitch-video from an Academy Award-winner and his lovely wife that explains the whole project!

Get the idea?
A whole bunch of fellow artists and friends have convinced me that after 20 years of being "That Guitar Man from Central Park", it might be time to tell the story in a different way for a much larger audience. Exactly how this thing is going to evolve is way beyond me at this point. Just kinda making it up as I go along.
And here's a link to the IndieGoGo page where we're still trying to raise the money to pull this thing off.
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.)

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
