-'''Frank Cuomo''' is the father of [[Rivers Cuomo]] and [[Leaves Cuomo]]. He was once married to [[Beverly Shoenberger]], but divorced her. He is of Italian descent.
+A '''Hootenanny''' is, by [http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=hootenanny definition], "a social gathering or informal concert featuring folk singing and, sometimes, dancing. [[Weezer]] has incorporated hootenannies into almost all of their recent live performances.
-Frank was a soccer fanatic. He missed Rivers' birth because he was at home watching the World Cup on television.  He was the one who birthed Rivers' love in soccer. According to Frank, Rivers was named after the three stars of the 1970 World Cup: Rivelino (Brazil), Riva (Italy) and Rivera (Italy). Frank was once a drummer in New York during the '60s.  He played in a band known as the Weather Report prior to their debut album. He also was the percussionist for ''Odyssey of Iska'', a 1970 Blue Note Record released by saxophonist Wayne Shorter. The album was recorded on August 26, just over two months after Rivers' birth. This is the only known recording for which Frank lent his talents.
+To support the release of ''[[Weezer (The Red Album)]]'', [[Weezer]] held a relatively small [[List of hootenannies|Hootenanny tour]], in which they traveled across the country playing songs along with fans in acoustic jam sessions. During the [[Troublemaker Tour]], Hootenannies were held on stage during concerts, in which fans performed on [[Beverly Hills]] and [[Island in the Sun]].
