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
A tribute to the power of boredom. I had nothing to do, so I opened up a Word document and stared at the screen until this song came out. Someday I hope to do a video for it. I know just the guy to play Bob.
Lyrics
Bob's weird - he's got an electric saxophone Bob's weird - he likes to juggle tofu Bob's weird - he likes to collect molecules Bob's weird - he's got a macrame tuxedo Bob's weird - he's addicted to Dimetapp Bob's weird - he likes pork-flavored donuts Bob's weird - he speaks in alphabetical order Bob's weird - he wears button-down eyeglasses What's wrong with you, Bob? Why can't you get with the program? Why can't you shop at the Gap like the rest of us? Who are you tryin' to impress, Bob? Even your invisible friend doesn't believe in you [spoken] No ... Bob, man ... don't dance. This is not a dance break. Bob, that's disgusting. Bob's weird - he wears a koosh toupee Bob's weird - he's got inflatable chromosomes Bob's weird - he kinda smells like formaldehyde Bob's weird - he's got symmetrical elbows What's wrong with you, Bob? Why don't you get a clue? Why don't you get a haircut we can relate to? What are you tryin' to pull, Bob? Even Godot wouldn't wait around for you [spoken] Bob ... man, you're just ... you're just ... you're sad, okay? Just get out of my face, okay? Get a life. Get a haircut. Get lost!
