One time I was a musical guest on "A Prairie Home Companion." Garrison Keillor said my name, like, 15 times, and it was like a weird dream. Another time -- actually several times -- I played accordion and musical saw and sung harmony with Elvis Costello and the Imposters. One time, me and Elvis and Jim James all sang a Bob Dylan tune together. How's that for name-dropping?
Lots of other times, I've driven in tour vans around various countries with dear friends playing house concerts, dirty pubs, folk clubs, and various and sundry other venues, all for the entertainment of others. Because that's what I like to do -- make people smile by singing funny songs. Occasionally, I'll sing a sad song, but not because I like to make people cry, but just to balance things out. Balance is everything, right?
A former ex-pat (Scotland), current Kentuckian, I will do pretty much anything for a trip to Europe.
I play a lot of different instruments, and I write a lot of different things. Let's be friends.
