I was born and remain a surprise. Mostly to myself...
I'm at the nexus of a bunch of things - I'm discovering there's an audience for music I create that I always felt was beautiful but esoteric, my band, Great Mutant Skywheel is blowing up, I'm married to brilliant and beautiful NPR reporter Andrea Seabrook, we have a cool dog named Lazlo who was featured on Animal Planet's Pet Psychic show, I'm being profiled in the August issue of Business2.0 and I have a cool job as well as a neat Baltimore underground collective / dumping ground for movies and new instruments (that only needs the underground to show up...)
Anyway, I have an amazing life. It would be pretty easy to make fun of all of this, or to thank God, or something. All of the answers are out there; I'm just lucky I have people around me who love me (and whom I love) who help me see and make connections.
