Here we are in one of those days. This one is called...

9-10-11

Hmmmmm.....

Says who? Who started counting? Who started numbering eternity a few thousand years ago?

It's just another day. Another string of fleeting moments. But globally we're also calling this a Saturday. And on Saturday afternoons, it's time for me to head out to Central Park and put my guitar on my shoulder... and see what happens.

.

I have a feeling, since it looks like the rain is holding off for the day and the Sun is back in the sky, I know what will happen. I have a feeling a whole lotta New Yorkers and a whole lotta people from across the country and different parts of the world will hang with me out there. And I have a feeling it's gonna be another one of those typically amazing days -- like last weekend. And today, I know that TERESA REYNOLDS is gonna stop by and sing a bunch with me. That's always cool!

If you're new to all of this, here's a little map that will help you find us in New York City's beautiful 843 acre backyard. If you're like me and you're gonna stay in town this weekend, I hope I see you out there today!

Gotta tell you, though... I'm feeling just a little odd starting out. But that's cool, too. Feelings are like the weather. With all the hoo-ha about the anniversary of a really horrible day we had here 10 years ago, it'll pull my heart this way and that if I allow it. It'll make me angry and rock my serenity if I let it. So, I'm not gonna let it. I'm really glad I get to hang with all of you this weekend.

Here are some photos from last Saturday, just to get you in the mood.

And this guy... this guy from Germany rocked a song when he stood up
in his boat and got everybody on the hill waving back & forth. Very cool.

If you were out there with me... THANKS AGAIN!

For today and tomorrow...

I just wanted to share this quote that "Pop" sent me yesterday. (My father.)

"We are not hated because we practice democracy, value freedom, or uphold human rights. We are hated because our government denies these things to people in the Third World countries whose resources are coveted by out multinational corporations. The hatred we have sown has come back to haunt us in the form of terrorism. Instead of sending our sons and daughters around the world to kill Arabs so we can have the oil under their sand, we should send them to rebuild their infrastructure, supply clean water, and feed starving children.

In short, we should do good instead of evil. Who would try to stop us? Who would hate us? Who would want to bomb us? That is the truth the American people need to hear."

Y'know, honestly -- what a very cool thing it is I get to do with my Life and my music. I'm so, so grateful to every single one of you who are reading this right now... every single person who's ever hung out with me even once in that park. It means so much to me to know that there are people who "get" what my music and my stories have to say to the world. It reminds me... I guess, it reminds all of us that we're not alone and that there are others who "get it".

Y'know what? I always say that when you do what you love for a living, when you do what I do for a living, every day of a Life is a vacation day and every day is a work day. So I think filmmaker Dean Love and I are gonna shoot a pitch video for an idea we've been kickin' around for an interactive, internet TV show called "THERE".

I'm really getting to work on a couple of things... one of them is this new Broadway project. I'm gonna talk about this a little bit more tomorrow as well. I really feel that it's time to take the whole feeling we get in Central Park to a much larger audience. I'm just about to enter a new place where this little "Broadway" piece will really begin to come together. Now I'm just in the "dating" process... to find the right producers to make it a reality... and the right director/co-writer/co-creator to bring this thing to life.

Seriously. This is getting exciting. But then again.... it's what I do. This is the kind of stuff that makes me live.

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.

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