Among other things, he wrote Along Comes Mary and invented the Tandyn Master-Slave Water Pipe

The Tandyn Water Pipe
He was also a member of MENSA ( for genus level IQs) and wrote many other songs, yet remained mysterious and reclusive.
Check out his 'far-out' the lyrics and

SING ALONG
with 
The Band That Time Forgot 
And then along comes Mary
And does she want to give me kicks and be my steady chick
And give me pick of memories
Or maybe rather gather tales of all the fails and tribulations
No one ever sees

When we met I was sure out to lunch
Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch

When vague desire is the fire in the eyes of chicks
Whose sickness is the games they play
And when the masquerade is played and neighbor folks make jokes
As who is most to blame today

And then along comes Mary
And does she want to set them free, and let them see reality
From where she got her name
And will they struggle much when told that such a tender touch as hers
Will make them not the same

When we met I was sure out to lunch
Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch

And when the morning of the warning’s passed,
the gassed and flaccid kids are flung across the stars
The psychodramas and the traumas gone
The songs are left unsung and hung upon the scars

And then along comes Mary
And does she want to see the stains, the dead remains of all the pains
She left the night before
Or will their waking eyes reflect the lies, and make them
Realize their urgent cry for sight no more

When we met I was sure out to lunch
Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch

Along Comes Mary' is one of my favorite songs ever written by Tandyn Almer. The song is set from a point of view of a man who was once lost and disillusioned, but is now comforted and made okay by "Mary". I love the song because it tells the story of how people always have a chance to change. It talks about finding one's self with the help of another person. No matter how messy your life may seem, there will always be that one person who will never give up on you.

Hi, we're a trio of High School researchers anxious to discover why Caswallon Scott Barrios of the Valley hasn't been arrested yet. TO WIT, how could he have gotten away, sgot-free, with organizing a team of Russian psychics (operating out of a Murmansk warehouse) to employ *warped mind energy* against our FRIEND Isobel Mlinaric? She had no intention of ever going to prom with David Wright, yet did so *anyway* against all logic and geometry. Here are the facts (ask him about them): Mr Barrios (aka Riker Scott Barber) has been visited by the FBI for harassing the owners of a dive bar in Muskegon. He is also a lower middle class person (hence the Resentment) whose REAL dad is a crooked stained glass salesman living in Lorton, VA. Hardly "polite company" if you know what I mean. What gives him the RIGHT the tyrannize regular folk for going-on 40 years?
