Sound track for a cartoon where the characters had too much coffee, man. Who was that masked violinist?

The early stuff: psychedelic artsy rock. The later stuff: high energy jazz/rock/fusion with lots of inspired ensemble interplay and improvisational soloing
We broke up in 1974, but had our first album produced in 2001 when World in Sound, a small label operating from Schwetzingen, Germany, found us after hearing a 45 rpm single we releaased in 1971. Since then, we have released "fred" and "Notes on a Picnic", and "live at the bitter end", recorded in New York City in the summer of 1974, and released March 20, 2004. George Graham, long time Disk Jockey for WVIA-FM in Wilkes-Barre, PA, had these kind words in his review of music released in 2003 about "Notes on a Picnic": "The Best Archaeological Find Award goes to three CDs released for the first time in 2003 of material dating back decades. One was the Willie Nelson demo sessions, another was the live recording by the famous Bloomfield-Kooper Super Session band recorded live at the Fillmore East in December 1968, and the other was a regional gem by the Lewisburg, PA, based art-rock band Fred, called Notes on a Picnic, recorded in the mid 1970s but never released until now, thanks to the interest by a European collectors label." http://georgegraham.com/reviews/gdgawd03.html

Story behind the song
David wanted to be set loose. Pete obliged, Bo was a willing accomplice, and the rest of us jumped on board and held on tight..
Lyrics
Make up your own. If you can sing it, more power to you. The picture (photographic kudos to LJ Kopf) is of our late bss player, Mike Robison, to whom, together with violinist, David Rose, this album is dedicated. We kind of think both Dave and Mike are playing bigtime in St. Peter's Band.
