"Fred Lane is the Butthole Surfers of Big Band music!" -Jello Biafra
The note that started it all!
THE TRUTH ABOUT FRED LANE:Fred Lane was the singing alter ego for dada sculptor T.R. Reed. He made 3 albums in the 70's and early 80's, and was set to release a 4th, Ice Pick To The Moon, which never materialized. Now he does his sculptures full time and tours art shows in the south selling them. There is a website for his art, http://www.odd-creachter.com/creachterkinetics/index.html where you can find out more. He does really strange and wonderful whirligig-creature sculptures like these:
I wrote him a letter about 10 years ago and received a hilarious letter back written on a napkin, with a catalog of his sculptures. I am sorry to anyone who thought this was really Fred Lane doing this page. I basically just wanted to have his pretty face on my own page, but wow. He actually has some fans out there. Anyway. Let danger be your beer.
