I've been been experimenting with recording and composing since 1972 while majoring in music composition. I soon fell in love with electronic music, primarily because it allowed me to compose perform with great flexibility. And since that time, as electronic music technology progressed, I continued to make music with various generations of synths and digital recording methods as fantasist "new toys" were developed. It's been fun ride. So what type of do I create? Sorry. I can't help you there. I have no idea. In general, I hate musical classifications systems that attempt to put a song into a given category. According to Wikipedia's on music, "... there is no single and intercultural universal concept defining what music might be, except that it is 'sound through time'." Basically, I prefer to experiment rather than trying to emulate any particular style of music. That said, I will readily admit to having done a great deal of work within conventional music genres over the years with various performance, recording, production, and writing projects.

Lyrics

Well, I'm stuck in West Virginia
living out my days
watching 'Almost Heaven' 
gradually fade away

Once this was a quiet place
steeped in history
before they decided 
to host a friggin' Jamboree

The Boy Scouts are comin' (Yea!)
the boy scouts are comin' (yea)
the boy scour are comin ' (yes, they are)
you gotta understand (if you can)
it's all about the land

I was drivin' down a country road
on a lazy day
takin' in the scenery 
before it goes away

Once there were rollin' hills
with trees in full leaf
before they replaced it all
with a giant cloverleaf

The Boy Scouts are comin' (Yea!)
the Boy Scouts are comin' (Yea!)
the Boy Scouts are comin' (a million strong)
You gotta understand 
they're gonna need some space 
for their parking place

Yes, West Virginia
West Vir-ginny-ah
That's West Virginia
Ol' West Vir-ginny-ah

That's West Vir-ginny-ah
West Vir-ginny-any-any-any-ah
