For newcomers, here's a little Photo Gallery from last Summer. Very cool. Maybe you're in there!

Okay -- early, early this morning I was on a train over to Jersey. This time, instead of doing a phone interview, they asked me to come to the studio with my guitar. So, instead of watching the Sunday morning political shows and yelling at my TV, I'll be talking music at Rutgers University. You can listen LIVE if you want.

I'll be in the studio and on the air around 10am (est)
It's a full day. Radio interview in New Jersey in the morning. Then back home to catch the Giants game. Then over to Julie Gold's place (the songwriter who wrote "From a Distance") to help celebrate a birthday for my good friend and colleague, Christine Lavin. Tomorrow, I'll be setting up a meeting with an agent to discuss the next steps forward for the stage project I've been talkin' about here on the website.
2012 is already of to a rockin' start.
My pal, Dean Love, is moving ahead with the webseries project he wants me to host... "THERE". I'll probably have news about that very soon.

And of course, this week I'll give you the first update about ticket availability for the next "indoor" concert! The next gig... before we do another BIG musical project, I'm gonna hang with you guys for an intimate night of songs and storytelling and laughs. We'll just see where it goes. I think I'll play a whole bunch of songs I haven't played in a long time and a few brand new songs nobody's ever heard before.
Saturday Night, March 3
7:30
The Leonard Nimoy Thalia
Broadway @ 95th Street

We all know what "general admission" means when we're talkin' about a concert. It means the box office just sells unassigned seats. You buy a ticket and that means you're gonna get in the theater. Where you sit depends on when you get there. No big deal.
But general admission is rrreeeeaaallllyyy not a big deal in a sweet little venue like The Leonard Nimoy Thalia. If you've ever been to one of my gigs in that venue, you know what I'm talkin' about. It's a really intimate little theater space. There literally is not a bad seat in the house.

Remember a few years back... it was where I did a ridiculous song called "Facebook is a Stupid Idiot" for the very first time. This isn't gonna be that kinda gig. Well, for one thing the whole band won't be on stage that night. It's just gonna be me and a guitar and a handful of songs. But if I out a guitar on my shoulder, and you guys fill that room... well, then I'm already lookin' forward to it.
I hung out a little bit with my buddy Dean this week and asked if he could get a few more moments from the December concert edited down to be ready for you guys to watch on Youtube and here at the site. As soon as he gets some of those clips to me, I can work on the audio tracks and we'll have 'em here at the site. Some really fun shit. So keep checking back.
Besides the gig in the first week of March, we've got sooooo many really cool ideas and plans for 2012. Like this one possibility as explained by Broadway legend Tony Walton and his wife.
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
