fiogf49gjkf0d 2014 was busy, and 2015 will be as well. Here are some highlights for me this past year.
In December I was doing a gig at the airport, and a passenger took a short, shaky video of part of one song. They posted it to Reddit, where it gained traction, and was then picked up by Time magazine.

I was particularly shocked by the sheer volume of troll accounts that posted in the comments. I was immediately reminded of Rob Paravonian's song, There's Always an A-hole on the Internet. While I was somewhat amused by the obvious fakery of the posts, some people I knew that were not used to the fedoras thought the comments were real. So goes the learning curve. At any rate, it's just under a million hits, at 988,000 views.
There were a few other articles as well. This one, about my comedy show,

and others that I have linked on this page of my website:

I spent the past year doing an art project, drawing a picture a day, so I was sadly lacking in the writing of new comedy songs department.
I hope all my fellow comedy/demented music people are doing well!
