Strange Days Indeed…..

A Fascinating Time

Welcome to the site… welcome to my life. Okay, this is a very weird time to be me! I’ve been “That Guitar Man from Central Park”, a fiercely independent singer/songwriter, for over 30 years. And now as I make the transition from a Life in music to a career as a playwright, change is happening all around me. First things first…

We begin our 32nd summer at “The Hill” in Central Park today, Saturday, May 6

I’ll start the music around 1:00 and, as usual, hang out all afternoon until around 5:30.

But… if you live in a different part of the country or a different part of the world, you can hang with us LIVE in Central Park starting at 3:00 (eastern).

We’ll also continue our twice-weekly, international LIVE stream “It’s Just Us”. We’ll stream from my studio on Wednesdays and LIVE from Central Park on Saturdays. So no matter where in the country you live, or where in the world you are you can hang with us… LIVE!

PERMIT FUND: Between the Parks Dept and the NYPD… and the granola bars… it cost about $100 to get out to “The Hill” each weekend. (Don’t worry. I pay for everything up front in January.) But if you wanna help out… every nickel is so appreciated.
 
VENMO — @thatguitarman
 
(See you soon!)

AS A PLAYWRIGHT…

Things are getting really, really interesting. I have a feeling everything is about to break wide open all at once. (Anybody who jumps on board is in for a fun ride.)

Two of my stage plays are very close to getting on their feet… one here in NYC and one out on The West Coast. (Email me and I can tell you more about that:  thatguitarman@yahoo.com.)

BUT — a holiday romantic comedy musical I co-wrote with the brilliant composer David Friedman is being reworked into a made-for-streaming TV movie. That’s another whole new world for me.

I’ll tell you all about this stuff on “It’s Just Us”. See you at the usual time next Wednesday… 4:00 (eastern).

But first… SATURDAY!!! It’s “Opening Day” in Central Park.

If you’re new and you’d like to see what it’s like to hang with us LIVE online, just shoot me an email and I’ll get you the private link!

“It’s Just Us”

At the onset of the pandemic years ago, we created a casual music hang that streams LIVE twice a week. Since then it’s grown into a beautiful, little community of fun people from all across the country and different parts of the world. We go LIVE on Wednesdays at 4:00. And Saturdays we go LIVE from Central Park at 3:00. (Unless it’s a rain-out or an off-week. Then we stream LIVE from my studio.)  When you join us at Patreon for whatever you’d like to pay, you automatically get email notification about every time we get together. It’s easy and it’s really pretty cool.

As a fiercely independent artist, I had to figure out a way to keep my head above water with these online gigs. So if you wanna help out, you can throw as much or as little as you want through PayPal.

Seriously… thank you.

Thanks for Another Year

We did it again at “The Hill” in Central Park last summer. It was another year of music and laughs, stories and thoughts and feelings, incredible moments and… and Love.

And now we’re back! Always check back here for the dates.

Thanks for being in the audience

“The Something’th Annual Year End Concert” to close out 2022 was another reason I always feel like the luckiest man alive. Thank you to every one of you who showed up in the theater or watched the gig LIVE online.

Last year we took a run at an audacious theatrical experiment and a lot of you were the most important part of it… the audience. I assemble a cast of Tony Award-winners, veteran actors, exciting newcomers… just incredible artists to do a LIVE online reading of one of my scripts that’s now moving forward. (Chuck Cooper, Austin Pendleton, Jillian Louis, Teresa Reynolds, Jamal Thomas, David Andino, Paul Olson — stage directions read by Gretchen Cryer.)

This play is finding its Creative champions to bring it to Life in this coming year. It will kick the door open for several other scripts. Before the reading of “Jack Flew” at the heights of the pandemic, we mounted a LIVE online reading of my newest play, “THE GREEN ROOM”. As many of you know, I feel the time has come for me to make the transition from a Life as a songwriter to a career as a playwright… to get off the stage, sit in the dark with all of you, and allow my characters to speak to the world. Perhaps I can help hasten the day when “religion” is a curious, dark memory for the human race. (I have my own fun way of helping to achieve that goal!)

WE ALL CREATE TOGETHER

During the years of the pandemic I figured out a way to Create music videos in which everyone on “It’s Just Us” could participate. What a blast! Here’s just one of them! CLICK TO WATCH https://youtu.be/IK0slIasdJ4

Okay… there’s no denying this town’s had a rough few years since the pandemic. But Life at “The Hill” is still “typically amazing”.

Just a few photos.

Hang with me LIVE…

SEE YOU LIVE on WEDNESDAY

See you at the usual time… 4:00 (eastern). But instead of the usual music hang, I believe we’ll share the most recent online play reading. “The Green Room” was read by an amazing cast this week, so we’ll share the stream and see how you guys feel about it.

If you’d like to see what it’s like to hang with us LIVE online, just shoot me an email and I’ll get you the private link!

Here we go…

“It’s Just Us”… Thursday this week

Here we go. 2022 was a year in which I saw some of my dreams begin to materialize. A couple of my plays are moving… one of them, to Broadway in 2023.

Well… I got a good running start, so during this next lap around the Sun we’re gonna kick the door down. Thanks to each and every one of you who showed up for the music, the laughs, the stories… the time and the Life we shared in Central Park, at “The Something’th Annual Year End Concert” and LIVE online all year. We’ll keep hangin’ out LIVE twice a week with sweet people from all across the country and different parts of the world on “It’s Just Us”.

WHAT A NIGHT!
 
 
Thanks.

Thanks for Another Year…

Well, we did it again in Central Park… it was another “amazing” season of music and laughs, thoughts and feelings and… Love.

And… THAT’S A WRAP for 2022

Y’know, even as I make the transition from singer/songwriter to a career as a playwright, I still have a LOT of music to share with you guys! So we’ll keep doing these online gigs. So in the meantime, if you would like to become a patron, click on that banner up there.
We sing together. We dance together. And we don’t even hafta leave our homes. Fun people from New York City, California, West Virginia, Maine, Missouri, Indiana, Long Island, The Netherlands, The UK, Spain, Estonia, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Las Vegas, North Carolina, Arkansas, Maryland…

Looks like this play has found a few Creative champions to move it to Broadway, probably later this year. It will be my first on Broadway and kick the door open for a few other plays and musicals. I’ll let you all know!!!
After the reading that night we’ll all retreated back to my Facebook page for comments and discussion. It was very cool.
Before that, during the height of the pandemic, we enjoyed a LIVE reading of my newest play “GREEN ROOM”. Many of you know I’ve been making a transition from a Life as a songwriter to a career as a playwright.

A percentage of my work is always dedicated to that goal… but I have my own fun way of making that a reality one day.

Even though our entire season in Central Park was canceled in 2020 and shortened in ’21 and ’22…  we’re making some new and exciting things happen in 2023.

No kidding. Last summer was an abbreviated and very weird season in Central Park, but it was another year I had the privilege of being “That Guitar Man from Central Park”. I wanna sincerely thank every single one of you who showed up, even for one day out there at “The Hill” You make me feel like the luckiest man alive. Here are a whole bunch of photos from our 2019 season.

Incredible. I love this town!!! I’m such a lucky man!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Every week we turn the path into a dance floor.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I’m still consistently amazed. Every time… just blown away by what I get to do with a guitar on my shoulder.

 

Music, laughs, stories, thoughts, feelings… I WANNA SAY “THANK YOU” TO EVERYONE WHO HELPS MAKE MY LIFE AS AN ARTIST AS WONDERFUL AS IT IS.

Black Friday….

FIRST THINGS FIRST

  It’s time for us to fill Merkin Concert Hall on December 10. (Don’t get sold out of this one!)

We’re gonna do your favorites and a bunch of my songs you haven’t heard in a while. And “The Big Cover Song” is gonna be a blast this year.

Quick Comment — 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 TRUMPISM. As my song says, “I hope they feel like joining us someday.” But until that day, the rest of us have work to do!!!

“It’s Just Us”

Hey listen! We’re gonna hang out together in the off-season… LIVE twice a week. Wednesdays we go LIVE at 4:00 (eastern). And THIS WEEKEND we’ll stream LIVE on Sun day at 4:00 eastern. And we will stream LIVE from my studio in The Heights all year.
If you join us on Patreon, you get automatic access to ALL of our hangs.

As a completely independent artist, I had to figure out a way to make a living with the online gigs. So if you wanna help out, you can throw as much or as little as you want at “It’s Just Us”!

 

We started doing it at the onset of the pandemic, but it’s so much fun and we’ve made so many wonderful friends that we’re gonna keep it going. COME JOIN US!

Thanks for Another Year…

Well, we did it again… it was another “amazing” season of music and laughs, thoughts and feelings and… Love.

And… THAT’S A WRAP for 2022

Y’know, even as I make the transition from singer/songwriter to a career as a playwright, I still have a LOT of music to share with you guys! So we’ll keep doing these online gigs. So in the meantime, if you would like to become a patron, click on that banner up there.
We sing together. We dance together. And we don’t even hafta leave our homes. Fun people from New York City, California, West Virginia, Maine, Missouri, Indiana, Long Island, The Netherlands, The UK, Spain, Estonia, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Las Vegas, North Carolina, Arkansas, Maryland…

 

 

Thanks for being in the audience

Last year we took a run at a magnificent theatrical experiment and a lot of were a part of it… maybe the most important part. The audience. I assembled a cast of Tony Award winners, veteran actors, exciting newcomers… just incredible artists to do a LIVE online reading of this audacious script. (Chuck Cooper, Austin Pendleton, Jillian Louis, Teresa Reynolds, Jamal Thomas, David Andino, Paul Olson — stage directions read by Gretchen Cryer)

 

Looks like this play has found a few Creative champions to move it to Broadway, probably later this year. It will be my first on Broadway and kick the door open for a few other plays and musicals. I’ll let you all know!!! After the reading that night we’ll all retreated back to my Facebook page for comments and discussion. It was very cool.
Before that, during the height of the pandemic, we enjoyed a LIVE reading of my newest play “GREEN ROOM”. Many of you know I’ve been making a transition from a Life as a songwriter to a career as a playwright. I feels like the time is right to sit in the dark with you guys and allow my characters to help hasten the day that “religion” becomes a memory for the human race. A percentage of my work is always dedicated to that goal… but I have my own fun way of making that a reality one day.
WHAT A RIDE!

 

WE ALL CREATE TOGETHER

Over the course of the past 2+ years we started to Create music videos together… to help keep us sane and connected. Here’s one of the most recent videos that a bunch of you jumped in on.

Even though our entire season in Central Park was canceled in 2020 and shortened in ’21 and ’22…  we’re making some new and exciting things happen in 2023.

No kidding. Last summer was an abbreviated and very weird season in Central Park, but it was another year I had the privilege of being “That Guitar Man from Central Park”. I wanna sincerely thank every single one of you who showed up, even for one day out there at “The Hill” You make me feel like the luckiest man alive.
Here are a whole bunch of photos from our 2019 season.

JUST A FEW MOMENTS

Incredible. I love this town!!! I’m such a lucky man!

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  Every week we turn the path into a dance floor.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
I’m still consistently amazed. Every time… just blown away by what I get to do with a guitar on my shoulder.

 

Music, laughs, stories, thoughts, feelings…
I WANNA SAY “THANK YOU” TO EVERYONE WHO HELPS MAKE MY LIFE AS AN ARTIST AS WONDERFUL AS IT IS.
NOW… Please visit my Facebook page and leave comments on anything you want, okay? Thank YOU for showing up. If you’re new around here…
