Hey guys... welcome back to the website.

Y'know? One of the points of the story in the new project we're working to bring to the stage is that we live in a pinball machine. We really do.

Like -- do you know Steve Jobs and Apple made the big announcement and introduction of the ipod to the world... do you know when ipod was introduced to the marketplace!?

October 23, 2001 -- That's 1 and 1/2 months after the attack of September 11th. (45 days) Weird, right? Yeah, I think about these things. Part of my job.

And already, after the weekend we just had... that 10th anniversary feels like memory and we're onto the next thing. It's 3 days later. Boing! Ka-joing! Boing! Ka-joonk! The pinball ricochets around and the lights flash and it's the next thing.

(I can say I guess that's the way it should be... because that's just the way it is.)

So, welcome to the website!!!

I'm still waiting to hear from The Parks Department about this coming Saturday afternoon. I'm hoping they give us the "make-up" permit for the afternoon we got canceled on the day they closed Central Park to prepare for a visit from someone named Irene.

.

Really hope I get to hang with you guys this weekend. There's a weak cold front coming through that might give us a little rain in the next day or so. But then the air will feel crisp and autumnal and just right for hangin' out on "The Hill" with a few thousand sweet people.

Last Saturday just felt so, so strange. I would love get back out there this weekend and put my guitar on my shoulder to share that wonderful energy we all tap into through music and laughs.

I was just listening to a song that a friend of mine wrote called "I Believe You", so I started playing it and singing it and it's got me in such a... such a place today. Maybe I'll play it on "The Hill" this Saturday. It's a beautiful, beautiful song... but it got me crying with a longing and an aching that is difficult to put into words.

Just one of those days, I guess.

"When I don't believe in angels, and I don't believe my friends
When they tell me that my dreams will all come true,
I sometimes feel alone, because I don't believe in me.
And the you say -- that I'm okay,
And I believe... you."

Ah Life.

Welcome to all you newcomers! WELCOME to you if this is your first time here at the website! I hope you bookmark it and check back every day. It's become a very fun, very under-the-radar little New York Secret. You can always keep up with the cool stuff that's goin' on around me and my music and all the amazing people in this circle of friends and fellow-artists.

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.

.

This year's PHOTO GALLERY will include lots of great images from out season in Central Park.

.

And here's the gallery from last Summer!

NOW! About that "Broadway" thang!

Maybe it's time to reach a larger audience!!!! Maybe on Broadway!

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.

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

VIDEO TIME

Here's another beautiful moment on a hot, hot summer afternoon in Central Park when a girl named Frankie asked me if she could sing a great George Harrison song for the crowd. One of the things that really touched was the way a few hundred people sounded... so gently singing "do-do-do-doo" to help out in the sweetest way.
