I am a performer. I write poems and songs. I play mostly Ukulele these days in the subways of NYC and on open mic stages but also have two guitars: a Martin 12-string (in trust from Ray Virta) and the finally found Washburn Festival (Chicago).I try to get to the Sidewalk for Monday's Antihoot. I am a recovering Catholic and have dealt with the sexual warpedness of that sub-culture. I still have the notion that being poor is better than being rich, so there is still work to do. What a' y' gonna do? I have three daughters and an ex-wife. The daughters are so ahead of where I was at their ages (10, 16, 20) that it makes me believe in at least some form of evolution.The photo I am using was taken by Herb Sher at the Sidewalk Bar, NYCI live in Bedford Stuyvesant now, with Justin of The Elastic No-No Band
