Now, to loosely, loosely paraphrase Arthur in Camelot...

"I like to think of myself as a Spiritual man... with occasional lapses."

So I hafta admit that -- during last night's downpour around 7:00... yeah, part of me was laughing inside.

'nough said.

OKAY! Many of you are checking in here from different parts of the country and different parts of the world. But most of you, by far, are living right in or around this amazing city.

This website belongs to someone who feels like the luckiest man alive.

As an artist, I'm gonna get to do something again today that I've been doing in New York City for the past 20 years. I'm gonna head to Central Park, the jewel in the crown of New York's parks... the beautiful backyard in the middle of the capital of the world.

Y'know? I wanna tell you guys... it feels so sweet to be heading home with all of you today. So what's gonna happen out there today? What am I so looking forward to?

I have no idea.

That's the beauty of it.

Well, I kinda have an idea of a few of the really great things I'm looking forward to. I'm looking forward to sharing music, stories and laughs with a few thousand people today from all across the country and all around the world. I'm looking forward to seeing all your shining faces. I'm looking forward to singing once again with one of the finest singers and sweetest women in New York, Teresa Reynolds. I'm looking forward to jammin' on a few songs with the man who was Jimmy Buffet's original lead guitarist, my buddy Roger Bartlett.

And I'm looking forward to whatever happens that I can't even see.

So here we go!

Y'know? Here's something that was totally unexpected one week...

...just another one of those beautiful, spontaneous moments that make living worthwhile.

Today I will head out to Central Park with my guitar and start playing around 12:30. Then, we'll just hang and see where the day leads us until the Sun goes down behind the buildings on Central Park West.

Who knows what's gonna go down today? That's one of the best things about doing what I do for a living. Y'never know what's gonna happen next when you're riding the wave and living in the moment.

If you've never been out to Central Park to share music and laughs with me and all "The People on the Hill", here's a little map showing you exactly where we are.

I hope I see you out there today!

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!!!).

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 keep coming back to this site every day you might find you smile more than you don't and you also might find some things to think about. Who knows?

KEEP HOPE ALIVE

TOM CRUISE SCARES ME

Mostly, 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.

Here's another song that can't end up in the project 'cause I didn't write it. But it's a fun moment from last year's "Year End Concert".
