About Me

Multi-instrumentalist, singer, songwriter, producer, composer and heliocentrist George Hrab has written and produced 5 independent CDs; performed for President Clinton; shared the stage with Elton John, Bernie Worrell, (and many others); and has traveled across the country both as a drummer for the nationally recognized Philadelphia Funk Authority and as defacto President for Life of The Geologic Orchestra. Humbly following in the footsteps of such icons as Frank Zappa, Mark Twain, Carl Sagan, Will Rogers and yes even Penn & Teller, he has made it a personal quest to improve the cognitive thinking skills of each and every American by reaching them through their funny bones and dance shoes.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Some girls are born with looks to kill some girls are born with intimate skills some girls are just concerned with fun some girls are like an SNL skit at a quarter to one what I need is a two-sided coin she better satisfy my brain as well as my loins she better wear a tight dress and have a mind that's strong I want brains and a body is that so wrong? when she shows me her brain cells then my pride suddenly swells like a Botticelli chick she's on the half shell but she likes gettin' nasty like Tori Welles. It's scary, a dictionary is very good to try and retain and impress but I also don't mind a vinyl dress and when she's watchin' Jeopardy she never has to guess you may ask why I'm specific well a dumb girl's effect is soporific I need a brain and a bod that are both terrific like a domain name that's case specific she's the queen of conversation a panel member on Face the Nation but she gets on all fours without hesitation and she got the best seat without a reservation.She drinks Perrier, she reads Beaudelaire I like to smell her hair and her underwear 'cause her derriere goes from here to there she's like two floor toms, rack, kick, and snare she goes to museums like Whitney to learn about the pigment at the installation she also knows S. Morgenstern is a figment of imagination she always puts Horace before Descartes she can make a point like Georges Seurat she can choke the chicken like Julia Child and she knows how to make my Oscar Wilde.she got brains and a brickhouse bod to behold she knows FE's iron and AU's gold she got the origami hands that can flex and fold "love for sale" I'm sold, I'm sold boys don't be afraid of a high IQ a girl with smarts knows what to do she reads Masters & Johnson and Kinsey, too Boys, do I lie? It's true, it's trueIt's true, I want a high IQ, how 'bout you?you better know who the hell is Eddie Jobson and have a Brit wit like Emma Thompson you can use irony to cut and slay and you can have the chunky glasses like Tina Fey you better like films by Kurosawa you better stay naked outside the shower you better ding dang dingle for over an hour then calculate binomials to the 10th power. she can make my wick stick out my candle she knows which one's Haydn and which one is Handel so put on a dress that barely fits then shake your ass and show me your wits.

Music:

So- what's my music , and Geologic all about? Well..It’s being wry but not cynical, talented but modest. It’s intelligent lyrics that are goofy, stupid arrangements that are brilliant. It’s the idea of extremely smart guys doing exceptionally silly things in both amazingly complex and simply straightforward ways. It’s having a 10 piece horn band that rocks, while at the same time being a guitar based rock band that’s funky. It’s wanting desperately to play exactly the kind of music we want to play, while insuring that whoever is lucky (or unlucky) enough to hear us will be more entertained than they’ve been in a long, LONG time.
