Okay... I'm heading back down to "Occupy Wall Street" today. I'll let you know what's goin' on in my mind and in my heart a little further down the page.

.

.

In the meantime... well, what can I say?

We did it again.

.

.

And I don't just mean yesterday in Central Park. I mean all year. Seriously, this past season was about the most amazing season in a string of beautiful, eventful, musical and fascinating years I've spent doing what I do as "That Guitar Man from Central Park". I've learned so much. I feel like I've grown as an artist and as a man in so many ways.

Thank you to every single one of you who've spent even one afternoon with me and my guitar.

.

.

Really.

.

.

Thank you so much. Year #20.

.

.

And that's a wrap!

.

.

.


LISTEN -- I'm heading back down to "Occupy Wall Street" today to better immerse myself in the true sentiment down there. I have an feeling I know the next thing that I'm supposed to do as an artist to help shape the world around me in whatever small way I can.

But for today... here's a free download for anyone to have and pass around... as well as a few songs and videos that might make you feel a little less alone.

And here's one from back on '04. (Somethings never change.... unless WE change them!)

WHERE'DAT MONEY GO?

.

And here are a few videos for you to pass around. Hope some of them help you think and others help you smile today.

****************************************************************

Yesterday was our last day in Central Park for 2011.

But we're only finished with the "outdoor season"!!! We've got one more really un-miss-able event right around the corner this year -- truly something you don't wanna miss. If you've ever been to one, you know what I'm talkin' about. If you've never been to one... THIS is gonna be a good one to catch you up!

It's a yearly tradition we call...

"THE SOMETHING'TH ANNUAL YEAR END CONCERT"

.

Tell you more about that tomorrow. and the box office will be open all this week if you wanna get tickets! stop back tomorrow!!!

.


Cool?

.

******************************************************************

In the meantime, for any newcomers... Here's something about one of the two big projects we're cookin' here at the site.

Y'know? Music is most often a "mirror" to help reflect the world around us. But sometimes it's also a "hammer" to help shape the world around us. Both ways... it usually feels great if you're doin' it right!

We're still looking of the right person to direct the piece and we could still use some help financially. We've raised about $20,000 for the workshop but could probably use about another $5,000 to get it on it's feet. So... if you're inclined to help (Or you're one of those people who just has too damned much money and wants to put it to good use!) ... this is what we're trying to do. 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. 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.

.

And here's a link to visit if YOU wanna be a real part of this process.


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 inCentral Park.


.

And here's the gallery from last Summer!

VIDEO TIME

Here's another beautiful moment on a 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.

Thanks for everything.

Peace ☮.

A note from filmmaker Dean Love...

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.
