Hey guys... keep your fingers crossed just one mo' time!

.

TWO THINGS... this coming Saturday we have one more Special Events Permit for the 2011 "outdoor" season. If the weather cooperates (And I'm thinkin' it will.) ...I'm hoping to be out there at "The Hill" in Central Park to sweetly say good bye to another amazing season.

Now, there's just one more thing that might stop me from being able to join you guys out there to wrap up another year. I'm waiting to find out about another gig... yeah, another gig. But it's in a different department of my Life. Right now I'm on hold for a national TV commercial that begins shooting on Friday. Kinda hoping it's a one-day shoot, but they've got me on hold through the weekend. So y'know... y'gotta do what y'gotta do.

Check back here and I'll let you know as soon as I know.

Were you out there with me last week?

I was telling some friends that if last week was the last one, it would have been a great way to go out! Everything happened in one day that usually happens... thousands of people who don't know each other singing and laughing together, unexpected smiles, surprises all day. There are photos from last weekend HERE and HERE.

And here are some more photos from this past Saturday.

And Teresa Reynolds was not the only wonderful person sharing the microphone last Saturday. A "Hill Regular" named Frankie did her own kick-ass version of George Harrison's "Here Comes the Sun".

(Gotta tell you... I recently posted a photo I took down at "Occupy Wall Street" of a sign that read "Let's Be Kind to Each Other". Just look closely at these photos and you'll know why I do what I do... with the people I choose to do it with. And you'll know why I feel like the luckiest man alive.)

And a woman from Virginia named Lisa got up and sang to the guy who she was with... on their first date!

.

.

Of course, I get to make music and kick stuff around with Teresa pretty much all afternoon, and that's always just joy.

And these two were the next two to share their first dance as a married couple with New York and the world in the middle of Central Park.

ANOTHER TYPICALLY AMAZING DAY!

Guys... I know a lot of you stop reading right about here because from here on down the page it's usually stuff you already know about. And like I said, I know a lot of you are reading this in different parts of the country and different parts of the world. But I'm gonna ask all of you who live here in New York City and who think they wanna be in town for "The Something'th Annual Year End Concert" to think about something today.

A bunch of you are new here because of the new additions to the email list. But if you're here in town...

Okay, am I gonna see you in Central Park this Saturday?

THIS SATURDAY IS THE LAST ONE FOR THE YEAR.

And I think the weather is gonna feel like an afternoon in June rather than October. So let's hang one mo' time.

BUT would you please start asking your friends to join you at the concert in December. It'll be really fun to completely sell that gig out this year, for some reasons I'll be telling you about in the weeks to come.

NOW! A FEW VIDEOS ABOUT SOME MORE REALLY COOL STUFF!

Here's a little video from last year's year-end concert. Give you an idea of the kinda fun we have in that room every year.

I also wanna jump start myself, my enthusiasm, and everybody's awareness about just a couple of really fun and exciting projects on the horizon. FIRST -- this is the 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.

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

guess this would be a good time to let you guys know that you can be a part of something that will be uniquely New York. I mean, you can be a very real part of making something very cool become a reality. A friend of mine has this project he's wantin' to get off the ground and I think it's a damned good one. 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.

THERE

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.

And then click here to visit the launch website to be a part of all of this. At the site you can see all the cool shit you get for joining this effort.

VISIT THE "THERE" LAUNCH SITE

I'll be telling you guys a lot more about it over the next few weeks.

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".

Are you new here to this website? 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.)

GIMME A SHOUT HERE!

(Actually, gimme a shout for any reason at all!)

.

HAVE FUN TODAY!!!!!! (And be cool to each other, okay?)

.

Thanks for everything.
