A trippy little instrumental piece with an almost R&B-ish feel before going off into some early Pink Floyd-like strangeness.

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 musical thank you to former NY attorney general (now governor Elliot Spitzer) for prosecuting successful lawsuits against Sony and other big labels for unethical practices like payola, price fixing, withholding royalties etc. It's also for the pioneering early 80's punk/avant band The Minutemen for their pioneering work in DIY music and touring.
