Welcome to the website.

Man! We have a lot of fun around here. I'm all about the music and the laughs. But it's also important to me to pay attention". (And actually, as an American singer/songwriter, it's part of my job.)

Just a quick update about the music video to support "Occupy Wall Street".

My good friend, Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Dean Love, spent a good part of the day Sunday digitizing the footage we shot on Friday and Saturday. He told me last night that we might hafta head back downtown today and get some more if we really wanna make this video effective in showing in a very truthful way both the Spirit and the demographic of the protesters in Zuccotti Park. So if you're in New York City and you're heading downtown to stand with The People, maybe we'll see you there!

The song is, of course, an update of a favorite from the tragic Bush years, the Enron debacle and the post-911 fleecing of the average American.

Here's the new song:

HOW ARE YOU FEELING ABOUT THINGS THESE DAYS?

I wanna hear from all sides, all honest thought-out feelings. And... what d'you think of the song?

Hey missed you guys this past weekend. It always feels a little strange after the "outdoor" season ends for another year.

But, now we get to ramp up for...

"The Something'th Annual Year End Concert"

.

(Tell you all about that gig and how you can get tickets in a minute.)

Y'know? I often say that I feel like the luckiest man on earth to have been able to spend the last 20 years writing songs and singin' them for people in the middle of the most amazing city on the planet. But I also hafta say -- if there's one thing the world does not need, it's one more photo of me playing the guitar.

Still, another nice guy from "The Hill" sent in a bunch of photos this past weekend and I thought I'd share them with all of you. He caught some very different looking shots. (I especially dig the one of Dean's camera.) These are from a guy named Mike Ricca.

Thank you... every one of you, for another great year.

If you wanna see a more complete retrospective of this past season, just browse through this year's PHOTO GALLERY. It includes lots of great images from the "outdoor" season inCentral Park and it's still growing. (Maybe you're in there!)

OKAY NOW!!!

THE TICKETS ARE ALREADY ON SALE FOR THE CONCERT ON DECEMBER 10 !!!

.

And the box office is open today! You can call them today...

212-501-3330

...to make sure you get the very best seats.

I mean, there isn't a bad seat in Merkin Concert Hall in The Kaufman Center. there really isn't. If you've ever been there you know... it's a beautiful 500-seat venue which is designed for orchestral concerts. So, it's a wide stage with a very intimate feel.

Every year I get to share a stage with some of the most amazing, funniest, most generous, good-hearted, fun artists anywhere... and that's at Merkin Concert Hall in The Kaufman Center in New York City. This year it's lookin' like the usual suspects... George Wurzbach, Teresa Reynolds, Nelson Montana, Ryan Cavan, David Marcus and Chris Tedesco.

Yeah, I know right now December 10th might feel like a long way off. But it's really about 6 weeks away. And you know how it goes once we get into November, tickets start flying.

So, it might be a good idea to kinda plan your night around Saturday night, December 10th soon. Y'know? Call a few friends. See who's gonna be in town. See who feels like grabbing dinner in Manhattan that weekend and catching the show.

.

If you already know that you wanna be at this show and you wanna grab the very best seats, you can get them today!!!!
Cool?

Okay now, 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.

Hey listen, this past summer was my 20th season as "That Guitar Man from Central Park", a whole bunch of us are thinking it's time to bring the whole thing to a much larger audience.

Y'know? I get to work with some of the most amazing, generous and talented artists. They're all wonderful people, too, or I wouldn't call them my friends as well as colleagues. And as much as I like writing song, putting my guitar on my shoulder and being "the guy", I also love being "the guy who gets to open a door for the other guys!"

So, my buddy and I are gonna try to get this project on it's feet.

He's Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Dean Love, and this is really his baby. He's asked me to host it and help bring my artist-friends to the project as well... hopefully letting the whole world in on some of the wonderful things they're doing.

I guess if you've been coming around here at all, you know about this and that we need your help with it! It's a web-series / TV project that I've been telling you about over the past few months and we've finally launched it's funding campaign.

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.
