After the success of The Billy Barnes Revue and The Billy Barnes People, Billy Barnes' L.A. opened at the Coronet on October 10, 1962.  The LA-centric show was not going to be traveling to Broadway, but Billy was LA and LA loved Billy's shows (and Bob Rodgers was an integral part of them as both sketch writer and director). 

Billy Barnes, LA native, has been writing for decades. He also wrote the classic June Christy song, "Something Cool" as well as the Barbra Streisand classic, "Too Long at the Fair," which was on her debut album. In addition to his revues, Billy spent years doing the music for TV's Laugh-In, as well as writing special material for any number of network TV specials, as well as for specific celebrities.

There was a previous CD release of Billy Barnes' L.A. back in 1994 - the sound has been cleaned up as much as possible given the limitation of the original recording tapes.  The CD also includes five bonus tracks from a live show at Studio One, a nightclub in West Hollywood, where
Billy and Marvin Laird were at the twin pianos singing some wonderful Billy songs.

This release is limited to 1000 copies. The price is $19.98 plus shipping.

CD will ship by the third week of September - however, pre-orders placed directly through Kritzerland usually ship one to five weeks earlier. To place an order, see the cover, or hear audio samples, just visit www.kritzerland.com.
