Bald With Glasses

I'm a songwriter influenced by the country blues masters, 50s rock & roll, early Stones (64-68), Velvet Underground/Lou Reed, Dr. Seuss, Mad Magazine, history & literature. Satire, language, rhythm and a sardonic wit seem to guide me. It's been said that I write kids' songs for adults.
