Fat, Happy and Blue is a song collective which formed in 2009 to create songs for their new Blues CD, Surreal Memphis Blue.

It is comprised of Tony Laviola, Louise Peacock and Tony Quarrington

Louise Peacock wrote all the songs - Words and Lyrics - Tony Laviola and she spent almost 2 years working on those songs, tweaking and improving them - when they were down to 25 songs, they got verent composer/songwriter/multiinstrumentalist Tony Quarrington involved. Tony Q and Tony L had been good friends for a number of years, so working together was easy - Louise was the "newbie" but they made her feel very much at home. In February 09 the three of them continued the whittling down process ....they finally cut the songs down to 15.

The 2 tonys proceeded to work on the songs from the arranging and instrumental side. Once that part was done - Louise re-entered the frey and they finalized the material and were ready to record.

I'm very excited to say that Surreal Memphis Blue went to No. 1 in the Blues genre, and at no. 2 - Big Belly Blues. They held that position all day Christmas Eve and all of Christmas day - at www.acidplanet.com - there's a fair amount of competition there, so we are pretty pleased about this.
