Slow burn country-tinged rock, about struggling and losing yourself.

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.

Lyrics
So cold in the shadow of a doubt I'm burning flags and bridges just to keep my hands warm So sad, we march in time Our different drummers are all alike So lost don't know where I could be I asked directions but the map ain't the territory Three years ago I scratched an itch now the skin is bleeding Payback's a bitch Too tired to work, too wired to sleep I'm tired of the hours and the comp'ny I keep I changed my clothes, changed my hair But you can't change direction when you're going nowhere Too late, I lost the thread, singing along with the voice in my head I get the feeling something's about to change Well they say I'll go blind But I'm just having fun When I look directly At the total eclipse of the sun I tried to learn the money dance, but I just couldn't get the groove I rode the ragged edge so long, I started to wear it smooth Holes in my shoes, holes in my pride Holes in my story a mile wide But I can still see you last time we met Image on my retina bleeding red Well they say I'll go blind But I'm just having fun When I look directly At the total eclipse of the sun Well they say I'll go blind But I'm just having fun When I look directly At the total eclipse of the sun When worlds collide And the two are one I will not turn away From the total eclipse of the sun
