A breezy little jazz number about keeping yourself entertained during life's slower moments.

Folk music for postmoderns
I am what you might call a musical generalist. I listen to pretty much everything and I compose in pretty much any style, though I concentrate mainly on folk, folk-rock, rock, synth-pop, alternative, comedy, musical theatre, jazz, new-age, film music, avant-garde, and the occasional lullaby (why sing your kid to sleep with "Rock-a-bye Baby" when you can can create something personalized?). I've done most of my professional (i.e. paid) work in the theatre, where I've been musical director for dozens of productions. I was also musical director of Mental Floss, the legendary Miami improv group, for over 500 performances; I recently did a stint with Laughing Gas, which rose from the ashes of Mental Floss 11 years ago to become the longest running improv group in South Florida. As a singer-songwriter, I've concentrated most of my energy on my signature style of synth-driven folk-rock (sort of Indigo Girls meets Vangelis). I'm also something of a minor celebrity in the world of Filk (folk music for science fiction fans), where I am proud to be the object of the worlds smallest international fan base.

Lyrics
[verse 1] I drop in my exact change it goes clink I take a seat in the back a woman looks at me strange I don't care what she thinks I am wearing my bright colors today I'm wearing my Minnie Mouse sunglasses I start to practice out loud some lines from a play everybody looks and then looks away then I get to my song I say "folks, sing along" [vhorus] Fun on the bus there sre so many ways you can have fun on the bus or in a waiting room or in a bank line otherwise you're just wasting time why not tap dance on the elevator it's all wasted time and sooner or later it adds up to a lot of your life [instrumental] [verse 2] there is a woman across from me she is looking out the window I count the colors in her hat she looks at me and I wave she doesn't know what to do about that I say goodbye to her as she gets off at her stop I greet the new people -- I am leader of the bus I practice my molologue [chorus] fun on the bus there are so many ways you can have fun on the bus or in a phone booth or during a moment of silence otherwise your just wasting time why not run up the down escalator it's all wasted time and sooner or later it adds up to a lot of your life
