Another day I need to say…

THANKS AGAIN!

No kidding guys. Thanks so much to every one of you who showed up for that little thing we do every Sunday, LIVE online. (The Weekly Show) It was another really cool hang this week. I love being able to sit in my apartment with my guitar on my shoulder and hang out with you guys in different parts of the country and different parts of the world. It’s really very cool.

And thank YOU for showing up here today. If you’re new around here… WELCOME! If you don’t follow me on Facebook, go there now and then keep checking back.

Gotta tell you guys, my Creative soul is on fire these days. There is so much going on for me as a playwright and as a songwriter. A few weeks ago, I did all the paperwork for our outdoor season in Central Park this year. Believe it or not, I have been an under-the-radar, fiercely independent singer/songwriter for over 25 years now. I’m a very, very lucky man and maybe the luckiest independent artist I know.

And my newest play “The Green Room” is in the process of being cast. Okay, it’s a bizarre process in a lot of ways, but I’ll update you guys here as things progress.

Y’know what? Today… I think I’ll just post a whole bunch of fun photos, songs and videos.

HERE’S THE NEWEST SONG. (An answer to Trump-ism… inspired by Trump voters, but dedicated to the rest of us.

And to give you a smile today… here’s the first concert video from our gig at Merkin Concert Hall here in NYC last December. Man we had a good time.

First, the concert video…

Okay, and now you’ll see why I’m excited about my newest song. I have a feeling it might actually make it’s way into the score of a new musical I’m developing. These things are so inter-connected lately. It’s amazing.

These things are so inter-connected lately. It’s amazing.

So I think you get the idea…

For the past 25 years I have made a living and a Life as an artist. Okay it’s been almost completely under-the-radar, but that almost makes it more fascinating to me. I’m not a famous artist — just one who writes songs and sings them for people… hundreds and hundreds of thousands of people. I’m just a man who writes plays and experiences amazing actors bringing them to Life. I live a life in which one day rarely resembles the day before… because new ideas, new dreams and new possibilities are born almost every day.

And today, I find myself sitting on top of 3 incredible Creative projects that seem to be exploding into the world as I’m writing this: the new play “The Green Room” – the video for the song “Dreamers Like Me” – and the Creation of a NEW MUSICAL… which is the off-spring of the workshopped musical “Possibility Junkie”.

Look… scroll through some photos to give you and idea what I’m talking about.

Make sure you spread the word. For the past 25 years we’ve shared that “It’s Just Us” feeling… we sing together, laugh together. It’s what we do. But it’s kinda cool now that we can get that same feeling all winter by hangin’ out online…. LIVE! Oh, why not try it. And if you plan on joining us, please email a friend or two in another city or another country and ask them to meet you in there.

We’re gonna chat all about it on “The Weekly Show” at 5:00 (eastern)… LIVE online. I’m gonna play and sing protest songs from every chapter of my life… including the newest one!!!

This was only the beginning. Join us this weekend!

Love, Truth, Reason, Laughter and Music are the answers to Trump-ism…

Yes, I know. I know. We are through the looking glass. But we have each other. We have Love, Truth, Reason, Laughter and… Music. And “Dreamers Like Me” keep trying to find our way. So this weekend (Sunday) a group of us are getting together again in the Concert Window?

I PROMISE, I’LL DO THIS SONG AND WE CAN CHAT ABOUT IT:

Look, tell your friends everywhere, no matter where in the country they live to start checking in here. And ask them to join me on my Facebook Page. (https://www.facebook.com/david.thatguitarman )

I’ll be sharing the newest song… the one I just wrote… the one to rally all like-minded people of reason.

dreamers-site1

I know. I know. For reasonable, sane people this is a tough week. But we’re in it together and we have work to do. I’m gonna start off today with a feel good video from our “Year End Concert” at Merkin Concert Hall here in New York City a month ago. And then, if you scroll down some more, I’m gonna share the new song which is my personal “Anti-Trump” rallying anthem… “DREAMERS LIKE ME”. And then further down, I’ll share a few more examples of why I feel like the luckiest man alive.

Lots of stuff to chat about…

LIVE! TOMORROW!

HEY! No kidding… Trump is complaining about wiretaps on Trump Tower. The Pope burned up Twitter again yesterday. Things are… um… nuts! But I once wrote in a song, “Music is a way of hanging onto sanity.”

So let’s hang out for an hour or so LIVE online, streaming from my apartment to your computer. I’ll bring the guitar. Go to the Concert Window and set it up right now, okay?

All good stuff… but a lot of it. I can fill you guys in about where I am in regard to my newest play, “The Green Room”.  We can talk about the “resistance” to the current American administration… like the protest I showed up for outside the Trump International Hotel on Central Park West a couple of weeks ago.

Once again I wanna say…

THANKS! We have work to do in these days of insanity…

First, this week I want to say THANKS again to every single one of you who showed up for our online show this weekend… “The Weekly Show”. I was telling those of you who showed up in the chat room that I was just coming out the other side of a little funk. Well, you guys really helped.

After the show I settled in and watched a little bit of the Oscars. (Not a big fan of awards shows.) But now I’m set for a new week… new adventures… one day at a time. And thanks to all of you who showed up for any of those protests all across the country and around the world last week on #notmypresident day.

I needed to be there on Central Park West.

I just got back from a really fun 11-day gig in Mexico. Been back over a week, but that first week of re-entry was pretty eventful. All good stuff… but a lot of it. First I had to see where I am in regard to my newest play, “The Green Room”. Then I took my sister to see Sally Field in that Tennessee Williams classic “The Glass Menagerie” on Broadway. Then I was on a train to Beacon New York last Friday to share a stage with my pal Christine Lavin and Grammy Award-winner Julie Gold.

This past week… Monday I needed to show up at that protest outside of the Trump International Hotel on Central Park West.

Yes, I know. I know. We are through the looking glass. But we have each other. We have Love, Truth, Reason, Laughter and… Music. And “Dreamers Like Me” keep trying to find our way. So this weekend (Sunday) a group of us are getting together again in the Concert Window? I’ll stream right from my apartment to your computer. All you hafta do is log-in and join us.

I PROMISE, I’LL DO THIS SONG AND WE CAN CHAT ABOUT IT:

Look, tell your friends everywhere, no matter where in the country they live to start checking in here. And ask them to join me on my Facebook Page. (https://www.facebook.com/david.thatguitarman )

I’ll be sharing the newest song… the one I just wrote… the one to rally all like-minded people of reason.

I know. I know. For reasonable, sane people this is a tough week. But we’re in it together and we have work to do. I’m gonna start off today with a feel good video from our “Year End Concert” at Merkin Concert Hall here in New York City a month ago. And then, if you scroll down some more, I’m gonna share the new song which is my personal “Anti-Trump” rallying anthem… “DREAMERS LIKE ME”. And then further down, I’ll share a few more examples of why I feel like the luckiest man alive.

First, the concert video…

Today, I find myself sitting on top of 3 incredible Creative projects that seem to be exploding into the world as I’m writing this: the new play “The Green Room” – the video for the song “Dreamers Like Me” – and the Creation of a NEW MUSICAL… which is the off-spring of the workshopped musical “Possibility Junkie”.

Look… scroll through some photos to give you and idea what I’m talking about.

I’m still living this Life with open arms and Love, but ZERO tolerance for people who voted for or continue to support the abomination that is Donald J Trump. As the song says, “I hope they feel like joining us someday.” but until that day, the rest of us have work to do!!!

ROCK ON!

We plan on releasing at least 2 different versions of this song..

There’s always lots of really current and fun stuff on FACEBOOK, too. You can send a friend request and join me over there: https://www.facebook.com/david.thatguitarman

Cool?

Thanks so much for hangin’ out.

This weekend…

Let’s get together again.

Hey guys.

I just got back from an amazingly fulfilling and Life affirming 11-day gig in Mexico. Been back over a week, but that first week of re-entry was pretty eventful. All good stuff… but a lot of it. First I had to see where I am in regard to my newest play, “The Green Room”. Then I took my sister to see Sally Field in that Tennessee Williams classic “The Glass Menagerie” on Broadway. Then I was on a train to Beacon New York last Friday to share a stage with my pal Christine Lavin and Grammy Award-winner Julie Gold.

This week… Monday I needed to show up at that protest outside of the Trump International Hotel on Central Park West.

But I really wanna hang with you all online this coming weekend. Cool?

THANK YOU to every single one of you who showed up at the protest in person or on social media! We’re gonna chat all about it on “The Weekly Show” at 5:00 (eastern) Sunday… LIVE online. I’m gonna play and sing protest songs from every chapter of my life… including the newest one written for TODAY!!!

This was only the beginning. Join us this weekend!

Look, for the past 25 years we’ve shared that “It’s Just Us” feeling… we sing together, laugh together. It’s what we do. But it’s kinda cool now that we can get that same feeling all winter by hangin’ out online…. LIVE! Oh, why not try it this Sunday. And if you plan on joining us, please email a friend or two in another city or another country and ask them to meet you in there. Send them this link:

Once again…

THANKS FOR SHOWIN’ UP!

What a great time that was! Seriously… thanks to every single one of you who showed up at The Towne Crier and every single one of you who hung out with us LIVE online. (“The Weekly Show” will be back at its regular 5:00pm time on Sunday next week: February 25)

Sharing a stage with Christine and Julie is both a blast and an honor… two wonderful women, two amazing artists. And last night we laughed almost as much as we sang. If you’re new around here… WELCOME!

If you don’t follow me on Facebook, go there now and then keep checking back.

Gotta tell you guys, my Creative soul is on fire these days. There is so much going on for me as a playwright and as a songwriter. Last week, I did all the paperwork for our outdoor season in Central Park this year. Believe it or not, I have been an under-the-radar, fiercely independent singer/songwriter for over 25 years now. I’m a very, very lucky man and maybe the luckiest independent artist I know.

And my newest play “The Green Room” is in the process of being cast. Okay, it’s a bizarre process in a lot of ways, but I’ll update you guys here as things progress.

Y’know what? Today… I think I’ll just post a whole bunch of fun photos, songs and videos.

HERE’S THE NEWEST SONG. (An answer to Trump-ism… inspired by Trump voters, but dedicated to the rest of us.

And to give you a smile today… here’s the first concert video from our gig at Merkin Concert Hall here in NYC last December. Man we had a good time.

First, the concert video…

Okay, and now you’ll see why I’m excited about my newest song. I have a feeling it might actually make it’s way into the score of a new musical I’m developing. These things are so inter-connected lately. It’s amazing.

So I think you get the idea…

For the past 25 years I have made a living and a Life as an artist. Okay it’s been almost completely under-the-radar, but that almost makes it more fascinating to me. I’m not a famous artist — just one who writes songs and sings them for people… hundreds and hundreds of thousands of people. I’m just a man who writes plays and experiences amazing actors bringing them to Life. I live a life in which one day rarely resembles the day before… because new ideas, new dreams and new possibilities are born almost every day.

And today, I find myself sitting on top of 3 incredible Creative projects that seem to be exploding into the world as I’m writing this: the new play “The Green Room” – the video for the song “Dreamers Like Me” – and the Creation of a NEW MUSICAL… which is the off-spring of the workshopped musical “Possibility Junkie”.

Look… scroll through some photos to give you and idea what I’m talking about.
