Mysterious, colorful intense instrumental rock/fusion witha biting sense of humor.
The Owl Watches is a work in progress, specializing in mysterious, intense colorful instrumental progressive rock/fusion I initially did this as a form of therapy so to speak, to be able to give my own creative impulses a voice that they would not have had in previous musicial situations I involved myself in. I had gotten in touch with my deep unabashed love for progressive rock with a vengeance. Over time, I was able to delineate what I really loved in that realm, and my first CD, "Tales From The Inflatable Forest" is the end result. I did this first disc in the manner of a one-man-band out of necessity more than anything. I had to force myself into previously unexplored territory (for me) such as keyboarding and drum programming. I learned much but if I had it to do over again, I would've preferred other musicians. At the time, I found myself hard pressed to find like-minded souls who loved this kind of music unabashedly. Talk about a steep learning curve!!

Story behind the song
A slight takeoff on the title of the infamous Hillary Clinton book of a few years ago. Watching things like "American Idol" "Making The Band" and all the obvious fakery leading up to it ( and especially the thankfully now-dead boy-band phenomenon), one cannot help but notice that wiothout all that slick marketing and fancy-schmancy Pro-Tools studio jive and manipulation, they wouldn't even have a career. The Village is that star-making machinery and the idiot is the end product. This song is my instrumental poke in the eye at the inanity of it all. Definitely intended to be VERY Radio-UNfriendly.

We don't have none 'o them lyrics here son.
