| I write and sing songs about Wisconsin life and politics. Here's an example on Youtube about our recent budget. I like to have fun with our great dairy state and the unique assortment of people who call Wisconsin home. Once a month I perform singing commentary on Wisconsin Public Television's Here and Now, for which I have won 3 awards.
In addition to the list below, more information about Wisconsin-themed songs can be found on the CD's and MP3's page.
Read what the press has to say about my music.
"Well my bags are packed, I'm ready to go
I'll take the jet, the car's too slow
I hate to think of traveling by car
My day's full -- I'm a busy guy!
This is why I choose to fly
Kenosha to Racine is pretty far ..."
A song for Madison's Mayor Dave Cieslewicz
Recorded live on 105.5 Triple M with Jonathan and Kitty
