Dear Friends,

Listeners have said to me many times that our music is very evocative, taking them to many places and bringing forth strong images and emotional feelings, ranging from sadness to joy and love. 

It is my belief that it is vital to lead a worthwhile and passionate life.  We create the reality of our lives, thoughts and beliefs by the "Holographic Projections" that we put out into the world.  I hope that through our "holographic Projections" we have added to the passion and spiritual uplifting of your life; that I have helped a little in your getting a bit closer to what you truly want. 

I wish you an abundance of prosperity, success, happiness and love. 

The Rim PLAYS AT START UP Buy Album          Download Track	(McAllister) 5:29  This song was written while we were spending time in the mountains of Arizona.  We hiked the cliffs of Mogollon Rim one sunny October afternoon.  From the top we could see probably a hundred miles and yet there was no sign of the modern world.  It was like going back into the past.  Most of us who live in cities rarely get to see images like this anymore.  The melody hearkens back to a time when life was more open.
Toccata & Fugue in d minor Buy Album          Download Track	(J.S. Bach-arr. Watson and McAllister) 6:30  This magnificent and well known piece was written by Bach in 1730 for the pipe organ.  It always reminds me of youthful times spent with my brother, Ivan Watson.  He would search out English country churches and monasteries on our travels and fill the air with the thunder and passion of this powerful piece on their often ancient and massive pipe organs.  Colin and I arranged the piece for iolin and guitar and are still amazed at how big and full it sounds.  We also cut a few minutes from the Fugue, making the piece a little shorter.
La Danse Mystere Buy Album          Download Track	(Watson and McAllister) 5:03 "The Mystery Dance" This piece has several sections that (often like life itself) mysteriously connect together making this into an exciting piece for us to perform.
Canary Jig Buy Album          Download Track	(Traditional, violin by Watson) 2:59  This dance was very popular in the seventeenth century in both France and Spain and was reputedly based on a dance by the natives of the Canary Islands.
Sonata No.1 for Violin & Guitar, Movements 1 & 2 Buy Album          Download Track	(Niccolo Paganini) 4:43 Paganini lived from 1782-1840.  It was said that "he looked like a magician and his playing justified his looks".  His passionate playing and skill was such that a fantastic story began to circulate that he was in league with the Devil, who guided his bow.  Also a formidable guitarist, Paganini composed a set of sonatas specifically for violin and guitar as well as his famous caprices and concerti.
Enigma Buy Album          Download Track	(McAllister) 4:18 The word Enigma comes from the Greek anigma: to speak in riddles, hint.  As the title suggests, this piece starts with an open, evocative beginning, then hints at the more rhythmic section with which the piece develops and ends in a dualism or dichotomy that is reflected in so much of our music and performance.
Sonata No.1 for Violin & Guitar, Movement 3 Buy Album          Download Track	(Niccolo Paganini) 3:26  The final movement of this sonata.  Though normally performed as a whole (movements 1,2 & 3), we chose to separate the movements to be consistent with our eclectic style.  (Def. eclectic: composed of material gathered from various sources. Websters Dictionary: i.e.: "a lot of different stuff")
It Is What It Is Buy Album          Download Track	(Watson and McAllister) 2:43  We might often wish, or even perceive, things to be different than the way they are.  But the truth is always just what it is.  Need we say more about this jazzy blues, it is what it is!
Reminiscence Buy Album          Download Track	(Fernando Sor, Violin by Watson) 4:08  Based on one of the "essential studies" for guitar by Sor.  The new violin part gives it the feeling of beautiful sadness that we so often connect with the nostalgia or remembrance of some special momentous time gone by.  A time that we would rather not have ended but still contains some of our life force and attention.
Evening Sunrise Buy Album          Download Track	(Watson and McAllister) 3:04  Fresh summer evenings spent  in an English orchard, supping on the beery brew of the local pub, chatting with good friends about the wonders of life, such that the blossom scented evening seems filled with the golden particles of the sunrise of a never ending new day.
Eye of the Storm Buy Album          Download Track	(Watson and McAllister) 5:23  The peace before the fury.  Again the stark contrasts of life, leading to a powerful satisfying ending, which I know many of us hope and work towards as our successful conclusions.  The elements had a definite say in the choosing of this title.  At the debut perfor- mance of this piece at an outdoor concert, the wind rose up and flung over one of our speaker cabinets.
