Album Info

Release Date: 2016-10-31

Label: F of X Records

This miniature rock musical was inspired by Frank Zappa’s original work,"Billy The Mountain". It follows Billy's (Willie)
exploits after 1972. The premise of this musical was concocted by Eric Weaver and Nigey Lennon.
The music that goes with the libretto was lifted from previously released songs I recorded at Sonic Underground Studios from 1994-1999.

Also included on this CD are a few live recordings Nigey Lennon and I did with the Ed Palermo Petit Big Band at the 13th annual "Zappanale" held in Bad Dobern, East Germany, July of 2002.
