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
I had been wanting to do an instrumental piece conveying the ferocity of a steam train hurtling down the tracks at 80+ mph. It started with drummer Jim Dunn coming over to my house one night and recording about a half-hour's worth of improvised drumming. Some time later, I dug out the disc and loaded it into my PC and started getting ideas almost immediately. I played all other parts (Guitars, Keyboards/Mellotron, Fuzz Bass) and added loops of steam whistles.
