C'mon frank ya gotta remember,ethyl was the wife like you said,Gregory Peckory hid in the mouth of Billy the Mountian & the super hero was Studabaker Hawk,remember, the guy who spread maple syrup all over the inside of his thighs until he was covered in flies
I like every album Frank ever recorded,some are good & others are legandary but i like them all,ive got his entire collection along with a massive number of bootlegs,ive seen Frank live several times back when Flo & Eddie from the turtles were still in the mothers,then luckily i got to see the greatest band he ever had when George Duke & Jean Luc-Ponty were still in the mothers of invention,then with Terry & Dale Bozzio,Steve Via & Adrian Belew from King Crimson fame.
One of my brothers actually got to see Frank conduct a peice of music with a full orchestra when he was somewhere in Germany years back before he died & im pretty sure Frank was sick even then,i think it was the Frankfurt concerts he got to see but im not 100% positive since it was so long ago,he is a huge fan of orchestral music & to this day when we talk music he says it was the best show he'd ever attended & seeing Frank conduct was one of the high points of his life,ive allways been very jealous of that too,i'd of paid large amounts of cash to have had the privelage to watch Frank conduct.
The last few years we've been diggin on the Zappa Plays Zappa tours when they come to Michigan,have you been to see Dweezil lead the new band yet ?
