Singer/songwriter combining the imagery of Bob Dylan's lyrics with B.B. King guitar playing, Neil Young's harmonica, and a Johnny Cash voice to create something
Lester is a singer/songwriter who's lyrical style has been described as "throwing a bucket of paint at a wall to see what happens." In reality, his songs are bluesy and his lyrics paint interesting pictures with unique turns of phrase. He combines the imagery of Bob Dylan's lyrics with B.B. King guitar playing, Neil Young's harmonica, and a Johnny Cash voice to create something that might be called CountryBluesFolkRock. Originally from Maine, Lester currently lives with his wife, two kids and four cats in the middle of Florida, which is exactly like Maine... just a hell of a lot warmer.

Story behind the song
My friend, Katharine Miller, draws robot cartoons and sells all kinds of robot paraphernalia. The main character is "Boris" who is kinda sad, as he sits alone and drinks martinis.
Lyrics
Boris was a robot in the middle of his life Suzie was another that he hoped to make his wife But Boris never told her all the things he had to say Now Boris sits alone and drinks martinis every day Suzie met a cash machine she thought would bring her fame She thought she was a singer who could really make a name But Suzie had a voicebox that could bring a man to tears Now Suzie's dreams are shattered 'cuz she sounds like Britney Spears Robots never cry They have their hopes and dreams like you and I They look up and they want to touch the sky But robots never cry Martin did his duty while he dreamed of seeing Mars He struggled in Detroit all day just putting trunks on cars Every day he told himself that he was gonna run But they shut down the factory and now his life is done Robots never cry They have their hopes and dreams like you and I They look up and they want to touch the sky But robots never cry Voltar was a robot who had plans to rule the world Every day he waited till his plot could be unfurled But Voltar didn't notice just how much the time went by Now his brain's outdated and his fuel cells all went dry Robots never cry They have their hopes and dreams like you and I But sometimes life just pokes them in the eye But robots never cry Robots never cry They have their hopes and dreams like you and I They look up and they want to touch the sky But robots never cry
