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.

Glad to find on CD
author: alice Cascorbi
I first heard this albumn in 1994, working on a field biology crew in northern Minnesota. We shared a tape of the music, and I made a copy before the summer ended. I'd searched for a CD of this album for years, and just found it this year on CD Baby. It's everything I remembered, and more: Chain Letter brings even more laughs in the era of email Spam, and Christoffer still makes me tear up. Now that I live in the shadow of Old St. Helen, that rocking rock-ash-lava song is even more fun, and Primordial Ooze is still a hoot, even after Georgie was replaced by Bill and then by George Junior. It's funny, it's original, and I'm really glad to have finally found it on CD.

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.
