"Purple Burt is a boy and a world that all kids will relate to. The very recognizable themes of playfulness, humor, individuality, love and longing come across clearly and colorfully."

“Because most of my songs were playful, a bit silly and seemed to be enjoyed by children, my now long time friend Andy Partridge, as well as UK songwriter/poet Martin Newell both independently suggested that I should make a kid’s cd. I took their wise advice and developed my song “Purple Burt” into a full album, complete with oddball characters, songs, stories, and more adorable artwork by Anne D. Bernstein. Thanks to the contributions of Andy Partridge and Dave Gregory of XTC, and Mr. and Mrs. R. Stevie Moore of home recording fame, the results have far surpassed what I ever believed I was capable of. I hope you and your kids enjoy it.”
