You can order the CD from: Comedy Central , Amazon , Barnes & Noble , Best Buy , and other fine retailers that the assistant is too lazy to look up at the moment. The February, 2009 definition of me continues to be: standup comedian. Anecdotal storyteller. Farmer. I'm also a writer of essays and short stories though I am woefully behind on those. Which reminds me, I'm also my own worst enemy. My middle name should be Versus. I was born in Casablanca, Morocco in the 50's, moved to Ohio at age 2 and grew up there. Lived in NYC and San Francisco in the 70's and went back to Ohio till I was 37, then moved to L.A. for 13 years. Most people think I've done standup since I was young. No. I started standup when I was about 32. Before that, I owned a number of small businesses, some of them rather shady. In the 13 years I spent in Hollywood, I don't think I liked being there for more than maybe 3 weeks. I could tell you stories of greed, compromise, rudeness, immorality, and Midwestern Bias, so horrendous that you would think I was making them up. What passes for intelligence in L.A. is stupefying. I accomplished a lot there. Not easy. Last year, looking at my touring patterns, which are strongly Midwestern, and wanting to keep my integrity somewhat intact, I left L.A. to many peoples' surprise and bought a farm in Southern Ohio. A complete change from 48 years of urban living - "think Green Acres meets Fawlty Towers", as they would describe it in H'wood. I seldom talk about me as a person except onstage, but I could be smart, sensitive, and have an ego.I have been in Love many times and hope to be once more. A few years ago, I coined a phrase, "I don't have the key to success, but I know how to pick the lock". That's me, definitely. I am blunt. I am sloppy enough that I have a housekeeper. I am unorganized enough that I have an assistant. And I am masculine enough that I have a cat. Right now, m favorite movies are: Billy Elliott and Open Range. Some of my current favorite songs are Psycho and Hoedown My favorite women are always redheads, but life changes colors on you sometimes...
