and early Todd. "Letters Don't Count," "I'm in the Clique," "We Gotta Get You a Woman," yes even "I Am the Emperor of the Highway" and "Bang the Drum All Day" -- great stuff. Excellent songwriter, producer, arranger, and performer.

It was used for an animation software advertisement on the Commodore Amiga. Really cool stuff and way ahead of its time. I believe he actually did the animations as well - 3-D stuff that wouldn't become mainstream for another 7 or 8 years.
