During the pandemic, I spent my time holed up with my bandmates under the roof of a large, old house in the Catskills. For the first time in many years, we found ourselves without a busy touring schedule. Having to find alternate routes to channel our creative energies, we began producing a skit series. As the series progressed, the production value and story telling elevated to new heights. The crown jewel of these efforts was a Scorsese inspired mafia skit about two rivaling frozen pizza families looking to corner the market from both ends. I acted as both a writer and character named “Smart Tony” in this skit, also helping with producing and building the set. For this series, I also recorded the intro song and animated the title credits.
