ED PALERMO AT THE FALCON 2014 10 04

a message from Ed Palermo :

Folks, I apologize for the last minute blast. New computer with a nasty learning curve!

This Saturday night, my big band plays the Falcon in Marlboro, NY, in a show called ZODD ZUNDGREN 2- a mash-up concert of the music of Frank Zappa and Todd Rundgren. TOTALLY psyched!! The Falcon has the BEST audiences in the world and there is NO COVER CHARGE. AND they have the greatest food!

AND we are streaming it live thru CONCERT WINDOW (http://www.concertwindow.com). It isn't listed on their site yet, but it will be shortly.

Now, I usually hold off on sending out the set list until AFTER  the show so as to not spoil any surprises, but this time I'm making an exception. Feast your eyes on this cavalcade of retro bliss:
