Nosy Parker began as a duo in Whitestone, New York, circa 1975. Tom Viola, late of the popular, local San Francisco-style psychedelic band Justice, met vocalist and fellow guitarist Joe Celano and the two soon thereafter formed an acoustic pairing heavily influenced not only by the Byrds and such esoteric British acts as the Strawbs, Ralph McTell, and Genesis, but also by the worlds of literature and art. They took their name, in fact, from a scene in a W.C. Fields film.
