Welcome to the website.

I have something I'm really moved to say today... just a little further down the page. I'm not sure why I need to say it today. But I do.

BUT FIRST... man! What a pressure game The Yankees had to win last night. And I've gotta tell you, yeah... the bats finally woke up. And yeah, A.J. Burnett came up big when they needed him to. But Curtis Granderson, that soft-spoken gentlemen in center field, came up with 2 spectacular catches to keep the Yankees playoff hopes alive.


This was just an amazing catch

.

Now they come back to da Bronx for the final game of this series. And thanks to a good friend... I'll be there Thursday night!

.

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

Hey! This is what I'm compelled to say today.

.

.

You may say I'm a dreamer...

.

.

...but I'm not the only one.

.

.

I gotta tell you somethin'. The longer I live the more I enjoy learning, discovering how much room I have to grow, and the more comfortable I am saying, "I don't know." Still, I'm convinced of a few things. One of the things of which I'm convinced, one of the things of which I'm absolutely sure and I know with all my heart is that the dreamers are gettin' it right. I mean, what's the alternative. I can't even imagine it.

Listen to your heart.

Seriously... if you're reading this right now, if you haven't already, I hope you find a way to listen to that Little, Quiet Voice that doesn't lie to you. Even when it flies in the face of logic -- even when people around you are telling you that you're crazy, or irresponsible, or just plains nuts... listen to it.

And then "live" it.

Act upon it.

Knowing this stuff doesn't count.

Understanding this stuff is the booby-prize.

We hafta "live it".

Then and only then... is it true.

A lot of you guys are checkin' in from different parts of the country and different parts of the world. And 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. It's gonna be one of the last days we get to hang together in this "outdoor season". And I think the weather is gonna feel like an afternoon in June rather than October. So let's hang one mo' time.

I updated this year's photo gallery. It just keeps growing. (Maybe you're in there!!!)

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.

HERE'S A REALLY FUN GALLERY FROM LAST SUMMER!!!



Click to visit last year's gallery

.

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.

.

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.
- Dean
