Humor: not exactly a standard part of the acoustic singer/songwriter vocabulary.
I write what makes me laugh: relationships, modern society and life as a babyboomer.
Musical Influences:Beatles, Arlo Guthrie, Loudon Wainwright III, Steve Goodman, Weird Al Yankovic, Groucho Marx.
I have received airplay on local and national radio, most recently on Sirius/XM Satellite Radio's "LaughUSA." Since 2001, Drew Jacobs and Swingbatter have regularly appeared on the Nationally Syndicated "Dr. Demento Radio Show. I have been performing as a solo acoustic singer/songwriter since 2005, and have been a member of BMI since 2007.
