Tony Tapwater is a hybrid of his creator and himself which leaves him somewhere in between fiction and rather ordinary. He was born sometime in 2000 in a rather magic house in Swansea, in the Uplands area, a very fine place to grow up, just ask Dylan Thomas. After many years of staying inside his own head, Tony branched out beyond this restricted area and invited the world to enter into the same space. Sharing his head space with the world was a bold and interesting move, chess wise. Here we are now, some time after the world entered his head, the experiment was interesting, not many people entered really. This was largely due to Tony keeping this invitation a secret, plus he only knows a few people and wasn't brave enough to tell them, but the thought was there, and that is a start. We hope you like the music Tony has to offer. UPDATE!!!!!!
Tony Tapwater has decided to give something back to the world, after all it didn't do everyone’s pal Bob Gelfdoff’s career any harm

p.s that's truley one of the greatest tasche's ever
i did a bit of spywork, and have the power to quote you saying that you have four complete songs, and are inspired to complete a much-anticipated followup to sandwich toaster! well, this is good cheer.
i hope you can enjoy the next song i put up on the ol' g.l.a.t. page, i think its pretty warm and stupid and stuff. I'll let you know when it's up on stage.
I write to tell you that you are being appreciated here on the piney west coast. Also, I wish to have a family someday, and my kids will listen to your music.
I got an idea for a job in spain. You'll be the scarecrow, i'll be the manager. I'm thinking kids parties. Ted can come too, and Ted's Super Fun Time Bouncers can be incorperated. Cosmic and Wyndeberry can come too as everyone needs Ross the Hoss. I'm off to the bank manager to persuade him i'm onto something big.
you..ll need more than the beauty sleep, to scare of the birds..try putting a tent up with no arms, and even worse no instructions,(colour coded poles my arse) night !
Alright,
I've got a new song up on my profile called 'If Life is a Dream...'
It's a collaboration with The Castlehaze.
If you've got a spare 5 minutes, give it a whirl.
Take care,
The Prof
