Into the Weeds is an eclectic sampling of songs written and performed over the last forty years by composer/performer Bill Weeden and a host of friends and collaborators including Sally Fay, Ethan Fein and David Finkle.  The team of Weeden, Finkle and Fay won the 1980 NACCA Award (which later became the MAC) as Best Cabaret Comedy Group.  Their musical Move It and It's Yours was named New Jersey's  "Best New Musical" in 1998.  Several of their songs are featured in Martin Charnin's popular The No-Frills Revue.  Mr. Weeden wrote the song "One Big Team" for the 1988 New York Yankees' Old Timer's Day - and an updated version of the song will be premiered at Into the Weeds prior to its airing on the YES Network and at Yankee Stadium this August.
