Sure was glad to find you here!   I am from the same region as you, but not the Boston area.  South, on the other coast.  A small town on route 6 called, Mattapoisett.  Until I started being transplanted all over.  I really have lived a lot of places since then.  Currently, I am in Tejas, but I plan to go back to the United States very soon.  Be well.  Oh, and please put some of the other classics on your page!  UFO man!  Road Runner.    Still loving Pablo PIcasso!  (smile)  You do keep me smiling.  Thank you for that, kind sir!

Thanks for adding me!

Some say my music is like "Jonathan Richman meets Frank Zappa at Studio One, Kingston, Jamaica". 

Whether that's true or not I still talk about the time I saw Jonathan and the Modern Lovers Live in Stockholm ca 1980! Wonderful gig! Jonathan even took his time to come out after the gig and chat with us fans. 

All the best from
Aland Islands, Finland, Scandinavia
