Appears in yet another Fowley film "Jukebox California" an arts & crafts musical collage starring Mr. Fowley and friends, filmed by Roy Swedeen in the beautiful landscapes of Southern California’s Inland Empire. Also, showcasing his singing and songwriting as himself and as "Big Orange & The Backyard Ramblers" Eddie's art is displayed in the film and even has a cooking segment but, mostly he shows off his comedic personality. Eddie likes being a funny guy; in fact you may have caught him getting his chest waxed on an episode of “Jay walking” with Jay Leno on NBC one night. They played it four times, once in slow motion. Jay couldn't believe it didn’t seem to bother Eddie, as he replied after the rip, “Will this get me on Survivor?” . Eddie has a very serious side to him too; you may have seen him on the NBC morning show Good Day L.A., promoting a peace concert dedicated to the 9/11 victims singing a song called "WHY", which he originally wrote after the Columbine incident with Grammy winner Wendy Waldman. (This show made the 11:00 o'clock news on NBC, where Eddie was featured singing.)
