Well, I know there are a lot of you who are checking in here from different parts of the country and different parts of the world. Here in New York City, we've got us a slightly cloudy but beautiful day out there. But unfortunately, I won't be able to hang with you guys in Central Park.

No music today

.

Look, I've gotten SO many emails from so many sweet people. But there's nothing I can do about it.

Y'see...

Well, I explained this yesterday.

In the year 2000, Central Park Administrator Doug Blonsky (A really good guy) ...made a deal that we could hang out there one day a weekend instead of two like we did for the previous 8 years. We all kinda got used to that. But then something changed in the way they're doing things in the Permit Office at The Parks Department. (Long story.) I really wish it was different. But listen... I've been "That Guitar Man" for 22 years now, so I don't know what to say. They've got a tough job over there I guess, and we're so, so, so lucky to be able to hang together out there at all. I never ever forget that. So...

...if the weather is good next weekend, I'll see you guys one week from tomorrow on Saturday May 25th

I wanna give you a quick update about the musical... "Possibility Junkie".

I guess a lot of you know that the marriage between art and finance has been the same for me as it has been for nearly every independent artist since the beginning of time. It's always such a challenge to raise the kind of money we need to do the kind of work we know we're meant to do... whether it's recording new music or writing. When it comes to putting a brand new musical on its feet, the challenge is even greater. (Probably around 80k to 100k) So it takes support and belief from people with a combination of heart, Spirit, enthusiasm... and means.

To that end I came up with something I'm calling...

.

The idea was that, if we do this thing in October at Theater for the New City, any enhancement money a person gives to the show is a tax deduction because TNC is a not-for-profit theater

And y'know what?

It has 2 fellow-dreamers so far!!!

And it looks like we have a solid $30,000 committed to the show! I will keep giving you guys updates as this dream progresses... because I think it serves as a wonderfully practical example of the kind of good things that can happen when good people are asked to show up for something new in this world!

BTW - speaking of "Possibility Junkie", here are some stills from the show the first time we ever got it on its feet in any form. It's really grown and evolved into something more wonderful since we did it downtown in at TNC in The Village.

The reaction for audience members and the emailed comments I'm receiving in the last few days are amazing. Seems nearly everybody had a great time and were moved in one way or another. I always say, as artists we're all always guessing. It's really very cool when you feel like you're gettin' it right.

NOW... we hafta see if there are any producers left in this town with the imagination and the belief in a project like this to take it to the next step.

We'll see.

There are a whole bunch of photos from some of our weekends in this year's Photo Gallery.

Check out the gallery.

So yeah, I'll just keep adding top it as we go along. I'm sure most of the photos in the gallery will probably be from our friend, photographer David Hayase or filmmaker Dean Love.

For the newcomers who have NO idea what it is we do in the Central Park, here's a little Photo Gallery from last Summer. Very cool.
