"Word need to be spoken"

For a man of few words, I like to talk a lot but only on paper.  Scratch that, only on disc. Nope, only to the cloud.

Year of Living Foolishly, excerpt

Spent the last year living and working on my craft.  A small sample

Thirty Days in the Desert, excerpt

Wandering in the wilderness, Joshua Tree

It Started Again Today

Sometimes you have to listen

Role Reversal

A story about a guy, me

The Vegas, a car story

My first new car and Violet Porter

The Library, selections from 2008 - 2011

Speculations over the nature of things.  I had goal of writing two poems a month during 2010 -11.   I met it.  Of course some were better than others and the rule is, "Hide the ugly kids".

The aughts and beyond

Much of the aughts was spent working on the "Magic Lantern" but there were other ideas along with the ugly kids.

Libretto,” the Magic Lantern”, 2004, 2005

More of a song cycle, a concept piece as opposed to an opera per se as I never got around to writing any staging.  But the animation is performed on DVD; small difference, same intent.

The ninties

Funny times for funny people

Libretto, “Todo el Mundo en a Flecha Amarilla, 1988

The plot may be thin but it's opera.  The story is secondary. It's about music and stagecraft.

Campaign 1988

Performance piece about Bush 1.  If I had known there would be a Bush 2, I might have moved to Australia.

The eighties

The dawn of the personal computer and MIDI.  People were tripping including me.

The seventies

Written on a typewriter and I am too lazy to retype.  Gives a flavor for the times or at least that's what I'm telling myself.
