Artist picture
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
I wrote this one to perform at a friend's wedding. The marriage didn't last, but the song remains. I'm hoping it will become a standard at fannish handfastings.
Lyrics
To reach beyond your far horizon To live beyond your years To hold a love that can't be broken A shield against the fears To love among the ruins To dance through streets of flame To see your own reflection And learn your inner name To pull the flowers from the earth To bring the healing rain To find the pieces of your life And make it whole again These vows cannot be broken These bonds cannot be torn in two These vows cannot be broken We have already made them true To reach beyond your far horizon To live beyond your years To hold a love that can't be broken A shield against the fears To pull the flowers from the earth To bring the healing rain To find the pieces of your life And make it whole again These vows cannot be broken These bonds cannot be torn in two These vows cannot be broken We have already made them true
