Welcome to the website!

THANK YOU to every single person who sent sweet comments and well-wishes in to the website this week to mark the day 20 years ago that I began this journey as "That Guitar Man from Central Park". I got message from lots and lots of New Yorkers, and people from all across the country and in different parts of the world. I never ever forget what a lucky man that makes me, and how fortunate I am as a completely independent artist.

.


And yep... it's looking like the weather is gonna be perfect this weekend here in town for another afternoon by The Lake in Central Park. And it also looks like we're gonna have a beautiful sunset concert on Friday night down in The Village with the below-fourteenth-street-crowd.

This year's PHOTO GALLERY will include images from both the Central Park gigs and "Sunset on the Hudson Concert Series".

And these are images from last year's outdoor season.

Okay, yesterday I mentioned that I was gonna let you all in on a little secret. Maybe it's not such a secret... so I decided I'm not gonna get into the details. I'm just gonna share a song with all of you as today's FREE download. (Well, maybe I'm actually sharing this song with a little more than half my crowd!)

As an artist, I spend about 10% of time in front of thousands of people. Imagine that. One hour out of every ten in my Life I'm probably working with other artists or sharing music with an audience. But if you do the math, that means I spend the other 90% of my Life involved with very solitary pursuits... writing, writing songs... even sitting here at this computer doing what I'm doing right now as I write this.

So... oh what the hell... here's a song!

YOU MIGHT BE HER

So here we are. 20 years in Central Park! What a ride!!! So many memories, so many laughs, so many tears, so much music. The paths of so many beautiful people have crossed mine. We've been through so much in this town, wonderful, tragic... so much Life. Thanks for being a part of it, and for letting me be a genuine part of the town I love so well. After 20 years and all the Life I've been through... I wouldn't want it any other way.

Maybe it's time now to tell the story in a new a different way.... and for a much larger audience. Maybe we should bring this whole thing to the stage.

I'm workin' on it. And the most remarkable and interesting circle of friends and artists are working on it as well.

Okay now you can find out how YOU can be a part of this new project here.

In a nutshell, we're putting together something that we hope is headed for Broadway or... Jupiter... or... I don't know. But it's gonna be done someplace. Broadway legend, TONY WALTON, a man who has more Tony Awards and Academy Awards than I have socks, is behind it 100%... so now it's just about getting the right team together and working it. I'll be inviting all of you to another one of those small, unplugged work sessions very soon, so keep checking back. The last 2 filled up in a matter of hours.

Here's a little 10-minute video from Tony and his wife... explaining the project.

BTW -- "The Something'th Annual Year End Concert" is booked for Saturday night, December 10th. I know it's early, but I wanted to let you know if you're one of those people who travel down from Buffalo, or in from Pennsylvania, or Maryland, or Germany just for this gig.

The internet has made the world a very small campus and that's a really cool thing. If you bookmark this page and check back every day, you might find you smile more than you don't and you also might find some things to think about.

.


Here are a couple of different fun galleries to check out.

.

HAVE FUN TODAY!!!!!! (And be cool to each other, okay?)

.

Thanks for everything.

Peace ☮

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.
