SONGS of LOVE, PEACE, and PROTEST

No kidding.

My heart is still on fire from yesterday. Since the days of my first podcast “I Love the Company”, back during the Bush nightmare and the Iraq War I have been dreaming of and longing for a day when I would see the people of this country wake up and take to the streets again as it was in the Vietnam days. THANK YOU  to every one of you who showed up.

LET’S GET TOGETHER TODAY!!!  Okay?

LIVE online! We can chat about it as I play songs like…

Imagine – Where’s the Voice – The Last Protest Song – Get Together – One Tin Soldier – Ohio – For What It’s Worth – Blowin’ in the Wind… and my newest anthem – DREAMERS LIKE ME  –  (I might even try to pull “I Am Woman” put of the attic in honor of yesterday’s march!)

Join us, and please email a friend or two in another city or another country and ask them to meet you in there. Send them this link:

IT’S ACTUALLY EASY!

Here’s 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…

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.

Okay, I just played a nearly sold-out Merkin Concert Hall in December and shared the stage with the usual incredibly beautiful and gifted fellow-artists. We laughed as much as we sang. A brand new songbook with 28 of my original songs was released. And I opened the show with a song I ad written a few days before in reaction to the recent election.

But 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.

Here are a few images from the recent concert, captured by our photographers friends David Hayase and Sean Friedman.

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.

PEACE

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, 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:

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.

…but not this week!

Sorry. I’d been looking forward to hanging with you guys LIVE online like we do every Sunday. But I completely forgot about a birthday brunch for a very special person in my Life. So I’m not gonna be able to hang with you this weekend. We’ll do it again next Sunday, okay?

Man, I gotta say… this was just another pretty amazing week. When I’m really paying attention I’m totally amazed at this ride. Think about it.

Look… before give you a chance to listen to the newest song, scroll through some photos to give you and idea what I’m talking about.

And then, I get to do concerts at places like Symphony Space and Merkin Concert Hall in the off-season and share stages with the finest artists and the best people I know. HERE IS THE FIRST VIDEO FROM OUR GIG IN DECEMBER.

PRETTY AMAZING RIDE…

Thanks to everyone who showed up for the LIVE online gig this weekend. We’ll get together again next Sunday at the regular time. (5:00 eastern) Now, I’m ready to see what this week has in store. Man, I gotta say… when I’m really paying attention I’m totally amazed at this ride. Think about it.

STUCK IN A PROCESS…

Years ago I realized something needed to change about my personal reality. I started realizing that my attitude was that of a man who loves the big idea, and the big possibility, and the big event… but I spent way too much energy feeling like I was “stuck in a process”. Once I started enjoying thee ride, enjoying the journey, enjoying the “process”… Life became so much more fascinating, more fun, and more fulfilling.

Of course, it’s easy for me to slip back a bit from time to time.

I’m just coming out of another one of those little slides, and I’m getting really excited about being in the middle of 4 completely separate Creative projects. I hope I’ll be telling you guys more about several of them in the coming weeks. In the meantime…

Do you guys feel like picking up the LIVE “online” shows again? Maybe at a special time this weekend? (Shoot me an email and let me know: thatguitarman@yahoo.com)

I’ve hitting the ground running in 2017.

It began for me with excitement about my newest script “The Green Room”. It finds me jazzed to be re-working the musical that many of you saw a couple of years ago… “Possibility Junkie”. In quiet moments I keep going back to creating my newest play… which hasn’t even a working title yet.

But perhaps the thing that has me feeling the most passionate at the moment I’m writing this is Creating the video for my newest song…

So I think you also get the idea…

Hope you had a fun, or Peaceful New Year’s Eve. (And if you did absolutely nothing… I’ve done that and enjoyed that several times, too.) And so we begin another lap around the Sun. (We’re calling this one 2,017. Why? No one is really completely sure.) But there you go.
