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
From my Mental Floss days. This one began life as an improvization and wound up being a staple of the show. Once introduced to the filk community, it became a sing-along. You gotta have one, I guess.
Lyrics
If you want something to eat Got a hankerin' for some meat Well rare or raw we don't care how If you're tired of eatin' spuds And don't mind the sight of blood Bring your appetite to Big Slab o' Cow Big Slab o' Cow All of our livestock is right out in plain view Big Slab o' Cow Come in and choose the cow that's meant for only you Big Slab o' Cow You get the whole cow, you can eat until you're full Big Slab o' Cow You get the udder so you know it ain't no bull At Big Slab o' Cow Spoken: Well come on in to Big Slab o' Cow. Just choose a cow out of our giant cow-quarium, and we'll flame broil 'em where he stands. And you get a gallon of barbecue sauce. And just say "rev up that chainsaw!" and you'll get the fastest steak tartar in town! Big Slab o' Cow Come in today to the location nearest you Big Slab o' Cow And bring the kids along, they'll love our petting zoo Big Slab o' Cow And bring the dog, we got a place for him, of course Big Slab o' Cow Right next door at Big Chunk o' Horse So come on down to Big Slab o' Cow Come on down to Big Slab o' Cow Moo!
