ABOUT THE THE BAND . . .
Why "Box o' Clox"?
We've received many emails asking, "Why 'Box O' Clox'? "What does it mean"?
Throughout the years we've had various names (The Coveyors, The Moodswings, 20/20, etc.) In the late '90s we felt a change was warranted. I don't recall how or why the name "Box O' Clox" came into my head, but I do remember that I was attracted to it for two reasons — (1) it wasn't preceded by a "The"; and (2) it had a time element.
It was spelled as "Clocks" until 2003, when Van Dyke Parks suggested that it be changed to "Clox" . . . to match "Box." (Actually, my wife had come up with the same idea a few months earlier, but it took Van's unrelated recommendation to convince me to change it).
— Cameron Michael Parkes
The members of BOX O' CLOX (Cameron Michael Parkes, Charles Pett & Larry Dolan) have been writing and producing music since the mid 70s'. Cameron is also a film composer (see IMDB). We have pictures on our website www.boxoclox.com of Charles Pett playing a rare improptu gig with the late-great John Lennon. Too bad no-one had a tape rolling!!!!

Just got a call from a friend, they said they lost an angel.. Shhh, I didn't tell them where you were, because I wanted to keep you forever :) Send this to all of your True Friends including me if I am one. I sent an angel to watch over you last night, but it came back. I asked, "Why?"... The angel said: "Angels don't watch over angels!" If one day you feel like crying, call me. I don't promise that I will make you laugh, but I can cry with you. If one day you want to run away, don't be afraid to call me. I don't promise to ask you to stop, but I can run with you. If one day you don't want to listen to anyone, call me. I promise to be there for you but also promise to remain quiet. But one day if you call and there is no answer, come fast to see me. Perhaps I need you. Send this to all your friends, no matter how often you talk or how close you are and send it to the person who sent it to you. Let old friends know you haven't forgotten them, and tell new friends you never will. Remember, everyone needs a friend. Twenty angels are IN Your World. Ten of them are sleeping. Nine are playing.

Ever wondered what to do in the event of a nuclear threat?
A while ago I found stuff that inspired me to make this film:
Living Under the Shadow of the Nuclear Umbrella
Both artistic (ensure you get the background music!) and educational, it primarily comprises official British government civil defence advice.
