It's gonna be a little shaky. Check back here in the morning. I think we've got a chance to have an afternoon of music in Central Park. Because after this past week... hell, after this last month you would think the sky must have run out of water by now.
I'm thinkin' there can't be much left!
So the plan right now is to head out to "The Hill" around 12:30, put my guitar on my shoulder and hang with a few thousand of my closest friends.

Seriously, the good, good news about all this rain is that the reservoirs are filled to the brim for the winter, the trees in Central Park a flush and so they're ready to really start showin' off when the leaves begin to change color in about a month.... and I guess in light of the severe drought in Texas and all the horrific wildfires in that state... hmmmm. I guess God isn't angry at New York anymore about the whole "gay" thing and hates Texas now.
Isn't that the way it works?
Okay, let's make this song of mine the FREE download today.
Did you guys feel like listening to my interview with the BBC about New York City and my feelings about this anniversary?
His show is an afternoon "drive-time" show, so he goes on the air at 4:00 in London. That's 11:00am here in town. So if you wanna listen to the show, click on this link at 11:00 here in New York City. I think in my email I said that was 9am on the West Coast.... I was wrong. It's 8am PST. (Everywhere else... um... well, I guess you can tell you're better off doing the math yourself!)

It's kinda cool.... listening to a daily radio show near London LIVE.
Anyway, I pretty much echoed the thoughts I wrote here in yesterday's update. But it might be fun to kinda listen to my mate across the sea. If you miss it and are interested at all, I'll probably try to post some audio this weekend or next week.
Let's say these things and write these songs and speak to a larger audience. There's a bit about a Broadway Project you might wanna be a part of a little further down this page.
Y'think?
Now, you might be one of the people who's checking in here for the first time. (There are always a bunch of newcomers here at the site, especially in the Summer season. Bookmark it every day and check back. I'm gonna start bring more video to this page again very soon.)
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.
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.
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. - Dean
