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
Another tune from my Mental Floss gig.
Lyrics
Life's great, nothing can upset me I'm over the depression that started when you left me For when sad thoughts I ponder My attention always wanders Thoughts of you don't bother me Since my lobotomy You hurt me bad, I cried for days and days But now I'm happy just staring into space They opened up my brain And removed the source of the pain Thoughts of you don't bother me Since my lobotomy All of this gray matter made me feel blue A hundred billion neural cells worried over you A simple operation, with local anesthesia They shortened my attention span Now I'm such a happy man Politicians used to drive me insane But I feel better since they tenderized my brain All their dizzy double-talk made me feel dense But they lowered my I.Q. And now it all makes sense I couldn't feel much better 'less you electrocute my pleasure center Nothing seems to get to me Since my intellectomy Our love don't mean squat to me Since my lobotomy
