Who is Felicia?

[4haverstocks]

Just wondering... the song "Felicia" by John Pisano...
Does anyone know who Felicia is? Any background info on the song?

Thanks,
Dan

Felicia was the name of the Pisano's maid. So he says in an interview with Guitar Player magazine.

Wow. It's very impressive how much you guys know about the Tijuana Brass. Do you happen to remember more or less when the interview was published? Might be fun to read it.

thanks again

Correction, it was named after Herb's maid. You can read the interview on the Pisano's website: http://www.flyingpisanos.com/Intrview.htm. It was in the Just Jazz Guitar magazine, not Guitar Player. Man, this just ain't my day....

Very Good! But can anyone tell me what happened to Pedro's Porch Part One?

Very amusing! That must have been the version by The Rooftop Singers.

 

[4haverstocks]

Was it released on an album, or only as a shingle?

...Hey, I remember that band! The trombonist, Slide Hyde, was on the Hillside Strangler's 3LP -- Grabbed it Through the Grape Vine...er, uh, hmmmm. No, I'm wrong that was actually Merle Haggard and the Stranglers. Wrong band! Sorry.

Pedro's Porch collapsed when he found Juan Valdez and his mule hiding in the kitchen pantry.
His wife claimed she was only preparing coffee from the freshest Columbian beans.
Likely story.

Back to "Felicia": Who is the one Gino Vannelli sang about?

One of my bosses in my Hollyweird days was named "Felisa" and employees (and many clients) did not care for her. Her nickname behind her back from one client, in fact, was "Fellatio."

Now I've chuckled all day at that one. Doubt I'll ever be able to listen to the track again without a grin....
