Frank Zappa?


He's been gone for a long time yet I still play his stuff on my system.

Apostrophe is my favorite.Im on my third LP,and had the CD once.When I was 14 Id turn off the lights in our family room ,play it a few times on our console stereo and listen with my eyes closed,my Mother thought I was nuts! She thought Frank was,,,,weird.I enjoyed music so much,even on a cheap console it would completly take me to a higher place,,without drugs .I still enjoy Franks music!
A truly gifted and unique musician. No one will ever fill his particular musical space, that's for sure. His abilities as a composer, lyricist, guitarist were profound.

As an aside, I saw the "Zappa plays Zappa" tour a few years back and Dweezil did a remarkable job with his father's stuff. What a great show- Frank would be proud.
I particularly like "Imaginary Disease" which is an all instrumental affair released from the vault in 2007. It is Zappa at his finest playing jazz/rock fusion style with a full horn section. The title track, DC Boogie, and Montreal are stand out cuts. Makes you appreciate not only what a great guitat player Zappa was, but also what a keen ear he had for complex arrangements. Unfortunately, this one is getting hard to find and consequently expensive.
