Well, just one of those things.

Well, I thought there wouldn't be an update for a couple of days.

For a man who tries his best to take none of the Good things for granted in his life, I think I sometimes lose sight of how great it is that I'm always a click away from reaching thousands of people every day just sitting here at this computer. As an independent artist I can make my music available for FREE to people all over the planet. I can create new music with other artist all over the world and we never have to be in the same room... or the same state or country. for example... I laid down the guitar and vocal for this new, funny song in my apartment on the upper West side of Manhattan. Then I began emailing the mp3 tracks to my fellow-artists. Nelson Montana recorded the bass track at home on West 43rd Street.The piano was recorded my George Wurzbach in Brooklyn. Chris Tedesco laid down the fiddle parts out in Far Rockaway, Queens... and then sent the song to his friend Dave in Texas to lay down the pedal steel guitar. It all came back to me to mix again on my computer here on Central Park West.

The result is a new "country" anti-Love song.

WITH ANYONE BUT YOU

It's amazing and useful in other ways, too. I can share thoughts and feelings about events going on in this country and in the world. (I guess I can piss off some people and make them uncomfortable on a global scale!!!) But I can also let other people know they're not alone. This new world of personal technology has made the entire planet a very small place. It offers such incredible, indescribable Independence.

And yet... it's all dependent upon the hardware and the connection. Dependence on the technology makes us independent. (So many things in life work in that kind of paradoxical way.)

This weekend I thought that I had burned out the DVD burner in my computer. Got all the way to The Apple Store with it, but their media worked fine. So, I'm thinking I've gotta figure out the problem... something probably incredibly simple that both the Mac Genius and I are overlooking. I'm gonna hafta investigate this a little further. But for now...

All's good.

We're back.

THIS PAST WEEKEND (One rain out and one amazing day.)

Too bad about the weather last Friday Night. We've just had a string of rotten weather this year for "The Sunset on the Hudson Concert Series". Maybe this coming Friday night we'll start a string of beautiful sunsets for the rest of the season.

But what an amazing day we had in Central Park last Saturday. THANK YOU again to every single one of you who hung out with me yesterday.

As promised, here's another big batch of images from last Saturday. If you have any photos you'd like to share, send them to the website...

EMAIL ME HERE

Here's bunch from the lens of publicist and "Hill" regular Laura Manske.

I'm a lucky man.

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.

And the Photo Galleries just keep growing. (Maybe you're in there!!!).

AND HERE'S A REALLY FUN GALLERY FROM LAST SUMMER!!!

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. Mostly, if you check back at this website every day, I hope you feel that... "It's Just Us" feeling. You're not alone.

That "Broadway" thing...

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.
