His writing has an old-style "beat" Kerouac-ish flow to it.  Sounds great in a coffee-house, but, given the major bout of insomnia I'm going through, don't know if I have the mental alertness to focus on it right now.  If you read it and like it, though, let us all know.  He's a bright, interesting guy, and plays a mean fiddle.

Here's an example of his writing from his website:
