I am not a joiner.  No religion. No political party.  No Forum, no The Secret, no AA.  I like people in the individual sense, not the collective.  I have released 2 LPs, before the advent of CD and 4 CDs since then.  I have hundreds of songs in my repertoire that deal with such timeless issues as the health risks of too much money, the sweet science of war, hitch hiking and, my favorite, how to be a happy drunk.  These topics are well represented in my new 2008 release, "Remembrance".  I have just completed a single themed, radical book of poetry called "A Diary of Doses".  Besides my own songs, I can also scream just like James Brown, I cover Kurt Weill, Martin Luther, The Incredible String Band and Woody Guthrie.  I am currently writing a children's book in the style of Aesop and Lewis Carroll, complete with music, based on the animals that live in my neighborhood, The Brandywine Valley.  My parents wanted me to be a lawyer, but I gave that up after my first crime.  Delicious.  My sign is Cadillac, Oldsmobile rising.  For those of you who stand on your own merit and not  on the whim of fashion, I welcome you to the fold.
