This is apparently what happens when I sit down to write lyrics, but I have no idea what to write about - weirdness.
weird humor
Folk music for postmoderns
Note about the "2025 Remixes." Since I don't currently have the resources to book studio time or musicians, I am polishing my old demos in Suno. I'm doing my best to keep Suno from making alterations to my compositions, and succeeding about two thirds of the time, but it is an uphill battle. For the sake of transparency, I am making an effort to delineate all of the (usually very slight) alterations Suno has made to the recordings, but it will take a while. In the meantime, once you've heard a "remix" to hear how I want the song to sound, you may want to scroll down to the original demo, which, in a few cases, will be a better representation of how the song _goes_. Until I've finished those notes, I can tell you that "Loafy's Blues," "Misfit Moon," "It Does Not Mean a Thing," "Home," "Saturn Road," "The Skin of Our Teeth," "Old Friends Come Back," "Scarecrow," and all the instrumentals are pretty much perfect reproductions of my original compositions. I'll endeavor to make notes on the others, describing precisely how they were altered. And again, you can hear my original, much less slick demos of those songs further down on the page, for comparison. ====== 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
Bob's weird - he's got an electric saxophone Bob's weird - he likes to juggle tofu Bob's weird - he's got a collection of molecules Bob's weird - he wears a macrame tuxedo [spoken] Yo, Bob - take your finger off the pause button, ok? 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 [spoken] What's wrong with you, Bob? Why don't you get with the program Why don't you shop at the Gap like the rest of us? Who are you trying to impress, Bob? Even your invisible friend doesn't believe in you. [spoken] Bob, man... no, don't dance This is not a dance break Bob, that's disgusting Oh, man... Bob's weird - he wears a Koosh toupée Bob's weird - he's got inflatable chromosomes Bob's weird - he kinda smells like formaldehyde Bob's weird - he's got symmetrical elbows [spoken] What's up with you, Bob? Why don't you get a clue? Why don't you get a haircut we can relate to? What are you trying to pull, Bob? Even your mom wouldn't wait around for you [spoken] Ah, man... you're just... you're just... you're just sad, ok? Just get out of my face, ok? Get a life. Get a haircut. GET LOST!
