O’s Notes: Eric takes a look at American culture, the politics and our evolving society and the shear arrogance that has developed along the way. It is his interpretation and he attempts to express it with free improvisation on his guitar. As a solo effort, Hofbauer takes the liberty to extend his thoughts in a multitude of directions. The songs range from orderly to chaotic with more of the latter, perhaps paralleling his intended message.
