Duanegoosen, Man, No matter what I do, I'm always in your doghouse! What can I tell ya?

Although, I noticed your Zappa song. That should negate any "bad blood". :-) I own 21 Zappa albums. You wanna talk about an awesome musician. But, I think nobody ever took him seriously. Incredible guitar player, amazing lyricist (not to mention a PHD in English lit). We should be referring to him as Dr. Zappa.

I miss Frank. God rest his soul. Gone but never forgotten.
