Posted by funky uncle mustard on 06 Oct 2006 | Tagged as: About, funky uncle mustard

funky
Well, I’m a musician and I love a great beat, groove, or anything funky. Funky gets you moving. It’s different. You resonate with it. It’s not generic. It’s raw. It’s real. It’s flawed, yet somehow authentic and attractive in that un-produced manner of delivery. I’ll try to keep it funky with a variety of communication styles and delivery mechanisms.

uncle
I’m not a kid anymore (although I like to act like one), so I guess the closest I could be is an uncle. But, let’s be real, I’m a writer too and I like the sound play between funky and uncle. Work with me.

mustard
Ahhh, the things that mustard does. So many varieties and all of them add zip to your life. Not to mention how a little mustard seed sprouts into a large tree. Something big from something so small. It speaks to an encouragement piece that I’d like to fold into this site. Plant a seed and watch the tree of life grow into something big. It’s a bit about “possibility.” There’s a lot of possibility to pursue.

Another reason I like funky uncle mustard is that I recommended it for a band name once and everyone looked at me like I was crazy. Perfect.

That’s the short of funky uncle mustard.
