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
I put a padlock on the freezer door Took all the spoons from the silverware drawer Don't care if the package says a pint serves four I got a passion, mere convention can't stop So go get a twinkie while I do the Ben 'n' Jerry Bop I got no quarrel with a Haagen Daas hog Some appetites are piqued by a pecan log But can't you see that I'm in an endorphin fog You'll never find me in the health food shop So go toast a muffin while I do the Ben 'n' Jerry Bop I'm not ashamed to say I'm addicted to junk I got a lobe of my brain just for Super Fudge Chunk You too may reach this state of ice cream overload But I gotta warn you, it's a long and rocky road I couldn't get enough from the grocery store Now they pull the truck right up to my door Don't know how they got the truck up to the 18th floor But Fish gotta stick, dead birds gotta drop So go count your calories, I gotta Ben 'n' Jerry Go chew some gumbo, I'm gonna Ben 'n' Jerry Try on some sushi, I'll do the Ben 'n' Jerry Bop
