Larry 'Wild Man' Fischer, vagabond singer made albums with Frank Zappa.  Around the Sunset Strip, Venice and UCLA in the '60s, he was admired as an untamed practitioner of 'outsider art.'  Fischer's Go to Rhino Records was the first album released by the Rhino label, and the company went on to issue three Fischer albums, two of them produced by the comedy rock duo Barnes & Barnes, of "Fish Heads" fame.  He struggled with mental illness all his life.  He was 66.
