It Does Not Mean a Thing - 2025 Remix It Does Not Mean a Thing - 2025 Remix
Uploaded 1 hour ago
Travels - 2025 Remix Travels - 2025 Remix
More folk pop, written for an old friend who traveled the world.
Misfit Moon - 2025 Remix Misfit Moon - 2025 Remix
Written for a dear friend, a deeply spiritual person. We dated a little, but she decided we weren't compatible because I reject all mysticism. Sad, but far enough. Over thirty years later, we're still friends.
Theme from Unproduced Sitcom Theme from Unproduced Sitcom
A lovely little one-minute piece I imagined as the theme song for some random 80s family sitcom. A little insipid lyrically, I suppose, but it captures the right feeling.

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.
