notes

The Billys (Bill Melanson and Billy Jonas) met in 1990 while accompanying singer-songwriter David Wilcox at the Black Mountain Folk Festival in North Carolina, they grabbed nearby recycling containers and led the audience in spontaneous improvised "repercussion" jam.

The response was overwhelming: The Billys were born.

The Billys made 2 recordings during their illustrious 5 year international career.

The first, entitled " The Billys" is available only on cassette and was recorded live at Warren Wilson College in Swannanoa North Carolina, and live in the studio at Possum Palace.

For current information:

Bill Melanson is a currant member of "The Junk-A-Delic Orchestra", and can be found at melstring65@aol.com

Billy Jonas is touring nationally to support his latest CD "Life So Far" (which also features Bill Melanson on several songs).

  • Funny, witty, and just plain enjoyable
    author: BBurney

    It was way back in 1993 when I heard this album played all the way through on the Dallas, Texas NPR station. I have been looking for it ever since. I have looked for it online forever and I'm grateful to CDBaby.com for carrying stuff like this. This CD is just fun and it's an excellent car travelling CD. Chain Letter is catchy; The Wheel Song is the best for travelling; I'm Not Growing Older is poignant; and the best track is Possum. I laughed the first time I heard it and have just thoroughly enjoyed listening to it ever since. This is a great, fun, and entertaining CD.

  • great fun music for grownup kids
