Why Parking For Meatballs?
The restaurant is long gone but the "Parking for Meatballs Restaurant" sign actually
existed for years in Madeira Beach Florida, until it was painted over in 2022.
It was a regular source of humor for LJ and his growing girls when they
traveled to Madeira Beach on their annual summer visits.

About
LJ Folk
Larry "LJ" Folk has worn a lot of hats in the music business over the past 45 years: Music Director, Producer, Writer, Arranger, Composer and Educator, but the one his audiences love best:
Singer
His award-winning tone, and silky leads breathe new life into well known songs, and his jazz arrangements of songs from the 60”s and 70’s offer a delightful revisit to the songs of that era.

"I've got a new, favourite Toronto singer... LJ Folk. (his) voice is expressive yet controlled and has a lovely warm tone. Tasteful solos by all the players round out the charms of this album."
