OKAY!

SOME not-so-good NEWS TODAY!

.

And this new little feature. The Yankees lost last night out on the West Coast but the magic number went down because Boston lost yesterday as well. This is just a little thing I'll do every day. Might as well let the countdown begin.

The Yankees magic number is 11...

.

Now we'll see if we can get all the numbers in from here to the post-season. If The Red Sox keep losing we might hafta skip a couple. (Ah, I'll post them all anyway... just for fun.)

THE not-so-good NEWS

No Music on Saturday

.

.

I know a lot of you are reading this in different parts of the country and different parts of the world. But an awful lot of people have been asking me about playing music at "The Hill" in Central Park this weekend. The weather is gonna be perfect.

We were promised we'd get a make-up date for the day we got canceled... on the Saturday before Hurricane Irene came to town. But The Parks Department declined to give us this Saturday because they said they "The Race for the Cure" on Sunday and the "Boccelli Concert" on Friday. So, we can't hang on Saturday. (I know. I know. If you can make sense of that logic, you're better than me.)

Ha! Maybe it's because you guys sitting there on that grassy hill have always been such a draw on their resources and manpower for the past 20 years!

But listen... I never forget what a lucky man I am to be doing this at all. So it's all cool. Everybody's got their own jobs to do and their own reasoning in their own lives. The people who run Central Park do an amazing job and it's a big job. I mean, look at that park! But in every occupation... I guess sometimes there are other issues. So... I guess just ask everyone to keep their fingers crossed for great weather the following weekend. (Saturday, September 24)

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.

Here are a couple of different fun galleries to check out.

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.
