Welcome to THE INSPECTORS! First, since many have asked to see Dave's pictures, go to: http://photos.davesartistry.com and, for his own work in progress website: www.davesartistry.com The main man for THE INSPECTORS is Groovus, aka Dave Owen, who, like many musicians now, is a multi-instrumentalist. Groovus is mainly a guitar & bass player/vocalist, but also plays keyboards, drums and any other instrument that will make the song. Groovus has also supplied background music and accompaniment for other musicians and projects. Currently, Dave has been working with a local artist, TOM SMITH, where they have recently released a CD entitled "OLD DOG, NEW TRICKS". The CD contains standard pop songs of Tom Smith's vocal stylings with musical accompaniment, arrrangements, performances and production by Dave Owen. Tom and Dave have been recording for over twenty-five years (but, that doesn't mean that we're old! We started playing when we were infants...) Another person Dave works with is KEITH LISLE, a California based musican and guitar luthier (he recently completed a commissioned custom acoustic guitar for Judge Judy Scheindlin) who works in the TV industry, and also records in his own 32-track studio in Burbank. Dave and Keith have collaborated over the long past in bands and recording projects, and continue to do so where Keith will produce some of the material for Dave's upcoming CD project. JOHN LEE, another member of Dave's musical "posse", has collaborated and recorded with Dave, in particular on one of John's compositions, "The Ballad of Davey O". John is an original "Inspectors" member, going back decades. Watch for some excerpts from Dave's own upcoming CD where his own original tunes and interpretations of other pop/rock songs are showcased!

Story behind the song
This hot, timeless country rock/pop tune was written by long-time friend of KEITH LISLE, JEFF WALKER who now resides in Florida. Having known each other for over three decades, JEFF composed the song and permitted his buddy KEITH to record it at Burbank, California. Lead and harmony vocals, electric lead and rhythm guitars performed by another KEITH friend, JOEY HENSLEY, while KEITH played keyboards, drums, electric bass guitar, and other background instruments. The song was also produced, recorded and arranged by KEITH. Take A Chance, according to Keith, heralds from the mid-eighties and is included here as an example of excellent song writing and performing. Our hats are off to Jeff, Keith and Joey. Special thanks to both Jeff for graciously permitting the song to be posted here and Keith for allowing us to hear and enjoy his performance.
