There is a pleasure in the pathless woods;
There is a rapture on the lonely shore;
There is a society, where none intrudes,
By the deep sea, and music in it’s roar:
I love not man the less, but Nature more…
-Lord Byron

In this section you will hear Some music samples of my 7 Native CD's.
I hope you enjoy the music while reading.
My name is Charles Wayne Watson. "Charlie Wayne" is what my father called me (this "Charlie Wayne"....usually ment I was in trouble for something.) I am of Choctaw descent. In the past five years, I (along with God's help) have produced and released Seven Native American flute CDs. Each CD is over an hour long, with all original compositions. And yeah, thats me on the guitar, drums, flutes, keyboard etc. etc. I am "BLESSED." Think about it,
Seven (7) CDs and I don't know how to read music.
Recently, my first five CDs were added into the International Native American Flute Association's Archives at Kent State University. I was deeply honored by this kind gesture.
I have no musical training or music background whatsoever. I don't understand the concept of reading music. I don't understand playing "by ear." I play from my heart and pictures in my mind, pictures of the plains, the desert, Natives dancing, wildlife or Mountain streams etc. Scenes, that go unnoticed by most of our fast paced population.
Some say my compositions are visions or thoughts to relay to others, and that my flutes and I are the messengers chosen to deliver these messages to the hearts of those that are willing to recieve. I proclaim rather strongly, that my music is inspired by "Our Creator", as in "Our Father" and my appreciation for the gifts of nature.
