He is a prolific song writer that has recorded the majority of his ninty plus songs, writen over the past eight years, on two Tascam four-tracks, a Fostex four-track, and occationally live, straight into the boombox. Most songs were either recorded in North Reading, Massachusetts, at his grandparents house, or on Nantucket Island, while working as a nanny for six children. Some were recorded in various apartments, either in the North End of Boston, Lower Allston, or East Cambridge, and more recently His previous apartment in South Boston and now in Oakland California. He is a notoriously bad speller. He tends to construct run-on sentences. He is an art school drop-out.
