My father disappeared from this earth this morning. I took a painting class with him for twenty years or so and this old time view of downtown Rochester was one of his last paintings. He was an inspiration to me. I’m dedicating the song below to him.

Margaret Explosion plays our last show of 2015 tonight. The band returns to the Little Theater Café in March of 2016. Curiously, “Disappear,” the title song of Margaret Explosion’s “Disappear” cd, is not on the cd. It was recorded after the cd was released.

"Disappear" by Margaret Explosion. Recorded live at the Little Theatre on 10.22.14. Peggi Fournier - sax, Ken Frank - bass, Bob Martin - guitar, Jack Schaefer - bass clarinet. Paul Dodd - drums.

  1. A lovely light in this nearly last painting… ethereal, sweet and full of peace. It was a pleasure to know Leo. He was just like his paintings. He left a beautiful mark on this earth.

  2. Although you will miss his physical presence, i think you will find him closer to you than ever.
    love to you and Peggy.
