He is there at the stadium.
He’s mowing the lawn. He never left.
He is our father and the best friend we’ll ever have.
Walking across the green, looking up.

And Glenn Miller.

“Family Man” was commissioned by Travis Andrews and Andy Meyerson of the California-based electric guitar and percussion duo, The Living Earth Show. The piece is in five scenes with four electronic interludes:

1. Not a Cloud in the Sky
(Interlude1)
2. Lonely Nights
(Interlude2)
3. Beautiful Wives
(Interlude3)
4. Lonely Nights
(Interlude4)
5. Run and Hide

The piece is dedicated to my friend Samuel Adams.
