Hang with me tomorrow…

Oh, why not!?

Look, I was gonna post a photo of the snow here in Upper Manhattan…. but I’m pretty sure a heavy, wet snow looks pretty much the same from one neighborhood to the next. During the winter not many of us get outside like we do in the summer. We certainly don’t get to hang together in Central Park like we do when the weather is warm. But tomorrow, (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.

Two weekends ago were together at Merkin Concert Hall. We shared that “It’s Just Us” feeling… we sang together, laughed 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 tomorrow. 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:

This weekend…

I’ll have news about the new song…

I’ve been in the studio this week, recording a song that is an answer to a lot of the angst that has been shared with me by lots of people since election day. Now, here’s something kinda cool that happens often… I’ll write a song for others to hear and it turns out to be something I really need to hear myself. That was the case with this song, “Dreamers Like Me”. I’m gonna share it with you guys this coming Sunday on “The Weekly Show”. I hope you feel like a making a note and showing up to join us this weekend. (Scroll further down the page to join us on Sunday.)

OH LISTEN!!! If YOU wanna help with the cost of getting it out to the world, if YOU wanna help make that happen, we’re raising the money to do it right. Here’s the place to donate.

Yes… this is the place.

If you want to be a part of this effort…

This is the place. We’re just trying to raise around $1500 to produce and record the new song “Dreamers Like Me”. It’s a song that ambushed me just before the “Year End Concert” and the reaction to it has been overwhelmingly positive. It seems a LOT of people need to feel the feeling expressed in this simple song. So I’m not waiting around. I’m in the studio today and all this week to get it done. If YOU wanna help with the cost of getting it out to the world, if YOU wanna help make that happen, we’re raising the money to do it right. Here’s the place to donate.

Gonna make the song available on iTunes as soon as possible.

How many ways can I say…

THANKS AGAIN!

Really… that was very cool! A week ago we were all together, some of us in person and some of us were online… but we started to kick 2016 in the ass as it heads out the door at “The Something’th Annual Year End Concert”.

And this weekend we got to hang out together LIVE online with the biggest group of people we’ve had so far. I shared the new song, “Dreamers Like Me” with you guys and told you that this is the week I’m gonna be slamming busy in the studio to record it and get it out to the world.

If YOU wanna help make that happen, we’re raising the money to do it right. Here’s the place to donate.

It was a great hang. We had people in the chat room from Maryland, Florida, Michigan, Amsterdam, Ohio… even as far away as… Jersey.

Let’s do it every Sunday, okay?

I’ll keep you posted about the newest song. I really wanna get it out to the rest of the country sooner than later… through YouTube and iTunes and any other way we can think of. It’s the one I just wrote, the one I opened the concert with.

Listen… it’s Saturday. Everybody’s got a lot of stuff to do. But tomorrow afternoon, wouldn’t it be cool if we had a HUGE group of people in the Concert Window? I’ll stream right from my apartment to your computer.

I mean, last weekend about 500 of us were together at Merkin Concert Hall. We shared that “It’s Just Us” feeling… we sang together, laughed together. It’s what we do. But would it be cool if we could kinda get that same feeling all winter by hangin’ out together online…. LIVE? Let’s try it tomorrow.

John Lennon today…

“Dreamers”… he said he was not the only one.

John was a huge, huge influence on my songwriting… but never more so than in regard to my newest song.

john-today

Y’know?

I wonder about a lot of things. Sure, I wrote in a song once that I know everything that happens is supposed to happen…. because it happens. But one thing I never wonder about is if John as an artist would have still been a voice of progress, reason, protest, and social conscience today. I have no doubt about that.

Look, we’ll talk about that and other things this coming Sunday… LIVE online. Y’see, the song I opened the concert with the other night, “Dreamers Like Me” was directly inspired by a lesson I learned from singing “Imagine for so many year, then writing a song called “common Ground, and then ultimately realizing that I missed an important element the the pursuit of progress.

I feel like it’s time for me, for all “Dreamers”, to just get started. In the light of what’s happened in this country in the last few months, this is no time to mope, or feel helpless, or feel sorry for myself. It’s time for the dreamers to get to work. So I’ll be here working. I’ll be posting photos and video from the concert. This coming Sunday, I’m gonna be right back on the horse and we’re gonna have another LIVE online edition of… “THE WEEKLY SHOW”.

Okay, this is the time of year…

This is usually the time of year when  I say I’m going to “Flip the sign”.

It’s usually more an attitude adjustment, y’know? After all the work that goes into putting up the “Year End Concert” and after all the energy left out there in that stage, and after all the good, good feelings in the days immediately after… I like to say I’m flipping the sign in door of my imaginary store to “Closed for the Season”.

But not this year.

This year I feel like it’s time for me, for all “Dreamers”, to just get started. In the light of what’s happened in this country in the last few months, this is no time to mope, or feel helpless, or feel sorry for myself. It’s time for the dreamers to get to work. So I’ll be here working. I’ll be posting photos and video from the concert.
