Okay...

Well we didn't get to play the Sun down over the New Jersey skyline last night. As will happen often during a New York City summer... the Sun heats up the air during the day triggering a line of these pretty sudden thunderstorms. We just weren't lucky last night.

.

.

But today... the Sun is back out over NYC.

Now, don't ask me why.

I just have a good, good feeling about today.

I can't wait to put my guitar on my shoulder and head to Central Park. This is the beginning of my 20th year sharing music and stories with you guys at "The Hill" by The Lake. And I always look forward to hangin' out with you. But... I just have a feeling about today.

Gonna run some new original songs past you and gonna pull some old classic rock n roll cover tunes out of my hat. We'll just see where the day takes us.

I'm a very lucky man!

If you're heading out there for the first time, we're really easy to find. First of all, there's usually a few hundred of us so we're tough to miss. You can always just enter the park at West 77th Street and follow that road a couple of hundred yards and run right into the music. Or enter at West 72nd Street and immediately make a left and head uptown a few hundred yards.

Here's that map you can print out and take with you.

This past week... I spent 3 10-hour days recording and mixing 2 new songs. I love it when they finally come together and start to sound like... something. One song is a love song I wrote for my niece Katie and her man Nate for their wedding. And the other song is... well... just something new and special that I'm gonna sing in the park today. It's called --

WITH ANYONE BUT YOU

But y'know?

It's Saturday. So maybe you're reading this in another part of the country or another part of the world. Or maybe you're in New York City at this moment, it's later in the day and I've already spent 5 hours singing in the park. And maybe you were out there with me. And maybe this is your first time here at the website. Listen, if you're new around here I really hope you bookmark this page and check back every day. I've got 2 brand new songs I'm working on right now and I think I'll make one of them available as a free download... maybe this week. And I think you're gonna wanna keep up with the progress on the new "Broadway" project as it develops. (You might even wanna be a very real part of it's development. More about that further down the page.)

AND! If you're new you can always go back and browse through THE ARCHIVE as far back as you wanna go. I mean... thanks to my friend, my webmaster, and resident evil genius James Marino, you can historically go back through this website all the way back through the Bush years right up until the present. It's really kinda freaky how much content is here on this site.... cartoons, free songs, Photoshop images. Very cool.

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

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.

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.
