Great video overlay to a piece i wrote & recorded when I was 16 years old. Unfortunately the rights for this got tied up in a legal battle, preventing it from becoming fully released. Great to see it back in the spotlight here on KZread!

And I know who wrote and performed it! My brothers Bill DeFalco (on lead guitar) and Frank DeFalco (on rhythm guitar), along with Jimmy DiGiacomo (on bass), and John Scarpatti (on drums). They were the Pebble Episode - out of Brooklyn, NY! I believe they went into the NY studio to record this in 1967. I remember mailing out the sheet music and paperwork to get this piece copywrited!

Correction to my own comment - I wrote this when i was 14 and was actually 15 in July of 1967 (just a month shy of my 16th Birthday) when our group - the Pebble Episode recorded this in a studio in New York City with me on Lead Guitar, my brother Franny on Rhythm Guitar, Jimmy Digiacomo on Bass and Joey Erico on Drums.

...just found on Facebook, wonderful !!!

Same correction as on the other Tripsy Upload - The original drummer for the Pebble Episode was Joey Erico, who you hear on this recording and who performed with the group for a few years after, and later replaced by John Scarpatti.

Nice work Bill! I heard this on a Pandora channel. Got to get the band back together and tour!

This was Side A of the first 45 RPM Record released by the Pebble Episode back in 1967. You can hear the song on the flip side of this record - The Plum Song - at: kzread.info/dash/bejne/hHyfrNJ6fbWnctY.html

Check out The Plum Song - the tune that I composed in under an hour for the flip side of the release of the 45 RPM record of Tripsey - kzread.info/dash/bejne/hHyfrNJ6fbWnctY.html
