A lifetime of obsession with Gilbert and Sullivan has resulted in "Top of the Tree”, or “Mr. Gilbert and the Unlikely Yankee” , a two-act musical comedy, featuring seventeen original songs, plus instrumentals and incidentals, which I wrote, demo-ed and story-boarded last fall. Based on real events, scripted in nineteenth century vernacular, and set musically in the style of classic British rock and folk rock, it is currently being developed here in Lawrence, Kansas. I am balancing my time spent immersed in digital recording and film technology with fun things, like drawing comix and cartoons, arranging the madrigal from Ruddigore for folk-rock guitar, more illustrations, videoing myself doing other G&S, and finally registering on gsopera.com. https://unlikelyyankee.wixsite.com/top-of-the-tree
