Folk music for postmoderns
I am what you might call a musical generalist. I listen to pretty much everything and I compose in pretty much any style, though I concentrate mainly on folk, folk-rock, rock, synth-pop, alternative, comedy, musical theatre, jazz, new-age, film music, avant-garde, and the occasional lullaby (why sing your kid to sleep with "Rock-a-bye Baby" when you can can create something personalized?). I've done most of my professional (i.e. paid) work in the theatre, where I've been musical director for dozens of productions. I was also musical director of Mental Floss, the legendary Miami improv group, for over 500 performances; I recently did a stint with Laughing Gas, which rose from the ashes of Mental Floss 11 years ago to become the longest running improv group in South Florida. As a singer-songwriter, I've concentrated most of my energy on my signature style of synth-driven folk-rock (sort of Indigo Girls meets Vangelis). I'm also something of a minor celebrity in the world of Filk (folk music for science fiction fans), where I am proud to be the object of the worlds smallest international fan base.

Story behind the song
This song is from my Elton John on acid period.
Lyrics
You got some good old boys fishing down by Saturn Road You got a haze that turns it all to red and gold Got a ring around the world says we're overdue For some science fiction and a harvest moon The old man says we started out as a one horse town With a one way street But we've been working the ground and the stuff we've been growing's A little too good to eat It's my own special blend Just me and my friends And it makes the time go slow I can't give directions for my own protection But everybody knows If you want our confection Just ask your connection For a little bit o' "Saturn Road" You got a little white cottage down on Saturn Road With some solar heat for when the days get cold There's room for me and my family And friends who are far from home We're a strange collection but we go back a ways And perfection is attained We got runaway passions but in our fashion We keep ourselves restrained Cause you can't always have the one you love Or love the one you have And though some might say we should change our ways We just can't let 'em go So though an active libido is not yet illegal Thank ghod for Saturn Road Saturn Road Saturn Road Saturn Road Where the lost and unusual go We've all had a UFO experience And saved the universe from hate And though I can't show you much evidence At least we got our story straight Saturn Road Saturn Road Saturn Road Where the lost and unusual go Where the lost and unusual go
