The best theater is the theater of imagination. Ultimately my gift to the audience is this: If in the confines of the theater we can imagine this show, then in turn, you can imagine your life as limitless possibility."
These past few years I performed GOD SEX POLITICS in Malaysia; jammed with dozens of jazz bands; wrote and produced a new musical The Beatnik Café; finished a new book of poems VERMONT MY HOME On Blue Heron Pond; created a new large installation project Laundry List of Wishes; developed a new line of art poetry www.vermontartpoetry.com ; almost completed a new CD Amerika Uber Alles; produced half a dozen new multimedia works, many new songs and poems Best of all, I’m not even manic!
I am an Irish and US citizen, more an internationalist than any one nationality, I've spent my life traveling, both physically and astrally (some of my best gigs are on the planet Andar). As a kid I lived in Seville Spain with early memories of Morocco and Tangiers. My life has been shaped by traveling and I’ve visited over 75 countries around the world, probably getting close to a 100 by now. In many places I’ve played and performed from intimate shows to coffee houses, galleries, theaters, and jazz clubs. As you will note on my rap sheet I’ve played in Morocco, New Zealand, Ephesus in Turkey, Malaysia, Ireland, Denmark, Andar, Holland, England, Ireland, through out the US and many places that I’ve forgotten. My favorite gigs were the ones I don’t remember. This is the essence of my life: playing music, telling stories, and traveling around the world.
