Wild Man Fischer: November 6, 1944 - June 16, 2011 ("Boop-boop-boop-boop")
Deep in the Heart of Brooklyn belatedly acknowledges and notes the passing of Larry Wayne "Wild Man" Fischer, a protege of Frank Zappa, who pioneered an "Outsider" muscial realm. Fischer died last month in Los Angeles of heart problems. A street musician in the literal term, he would wander LA singing his unique, self-penned tunes for a dime, until he was discovered and recorded by Frank Zappa for Bizarre Records.
"Merry Go Round" remains an impossible to forget favorite. More on Mr, Fischer here
