Okay guys... wanna tell you, I've never been more excited about the possibilities that are on the horizon. Funny thing about possibilities. Y'know how I'm always saying that I am a possibility-junkie?
It's good to know that actual first-definition of the word "possibility".
The state of being "possible".
Okay, so what is the definition of possible?
Being within the limits of ability, or realization. Being what may be conceived, or be done, or occur. Being something that may or may not occur.
.
Okay? A possibility... and idea. An inspiration. A hope that is able to be realized... something imagined which is able to be made real... in short, a dream that can become a reality.

With work.

I'm a junkie for that kind thing. I LOVE possibility. I love dreaming about what's possible. I love working toward creating something and finding out if it is, in fact, possible.
After the ball drops in Times Square 2 days from now, for me it's time to really get to work.

Hey, 2011 was an amazing year! 2012 is already shaping up to top it in so many ways.
Now, I'm gonna load you up with video before the end of the year!!!
Here's that video I was telling you about yesterday! It's a really fun video, but one that I didn't make. One of the really cool things about being "That Guitar Man from Central Park" is actually being considered a genuine part of this town that I love so much. Well another artist in this town who has done a series of "New Year" songs asked me to play an acoustic guitar riff in this year's offering for 2012... and she asked me to appear in the music video. It's really fun and a way to send the year through the door with a smile. You're gonna feel like dancing. Turn on the speakers, get up and dance... even if you're at work!
Here are the latest music videos from "The Something'th Annual Year End Concert" just a few weeks ago here in NYC.

Of course, the latest version of the song "Tom Cruise Scares Me" is what we used to re-cap the passing year in America... so I'll be posting that here to put a cap on 2011 and kick off the new lap around the sun in 2012. That song will probably be here on the last day of 2011. But enjoy all of these in the meantime!
I went ahead and signed the contract for the next gig. l know it seems like a long way off, but mark Saturday night, March 3rd on your brand new 2012 calendars! If you were at the gig a week ago, you got to hear a whole bunch of new songs with the entire band. But y'know? Even in a 2 1/2 hour concert I never get to all the songs I know you guys wanna hear. A lot of the songs from a few years back... a lot of songs from back when I first started being "That Guitar Man from Central Park". And I'm still writing. I have another handful of brand new songs that you've never heard before. So, I'm gonna do a more intimate night of music and storytelling in a smaller theater, so I can share a whole bunch of that stuff with you. It'll basically just be me, probably sitting on a milk crate, with a guitar. And of course... you.
I'm already looking forward to it.

We've got sooooo many really cool ideas and plans for 2012. Like this possibility as explained by Broadway legend Tony Walton and his wife.

And then there's the new webseries being produced by my pal, Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Dean Love.
And y'know? I always say that I am a "fiercely independent" artist. By that I mean, I truly listen to my own inspirations, I follow my own intuitions, speak my own Truth and "Trust the Force" as much as Obi-Wan Kenobi.
But I don't do what I do alone. I depend on the good, good people in my artists' circle and my circle of friends and family in so many ways. That dependency also keeps me in a place of nearly constant gratitude and wonder.
Here's a song that I did for the very first time with the band at the gig on Saturday. And once again, I wanna ask you guys to keep this video moving around the planet. (It is intended to help counter the distorted and often purposely skewed image of the "Occupy Wall Street" movement by much of the "news" media. You can help by turning all your friends onto this video.)
THE NEWEST SONG AND VIDEO!

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
