In on-topic news, Dweezil is going to appear on Dutch TV tomorrow! He's going to be on a music show.

Song of One Hundred Ninety-Eight Days Ago: We're Turning Again (from Frank Zappa Meets the Mothers of Prevention)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LxNlp0qPy1s" data-time="


Today it's 75 years ago that Jimi Hendrix was born, so I guess I'll do something topical. This song quotes Hendrix's "Purple Haze."

Could also have done "Cosmik Debris" (which quotes "Who Knows"), which is a far superior song, but we've already done that one to death. Trying to keep it fresh!

Song of One Hundred Ninety-Seven Days Ago: Motherly Love (from Freak Out!)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFQbERB2DAM" data-time="


If anyone's keeping track, this would be the Mother's Day song, and on this day we always do "Motherly Love." Don't want to break with this annual tradition!

(I guess by this logic the last song wasn't actually on Jimi Hendrix's birthday, but who's still counting at this point? >_> )

Just watched the TV show with Dweezil... well, that wasn't too great. A man and a woman only interviewed him for like 5 minutes and then a band played "G-Spot Tornado." Good version but unfortunately Dweezil wasn't playing with them. (He explained that he doesn't actually know how to play that tune.)

The woman asked him "is your father's music an influence in your own compositions?" and he answered (paraphrased) "somewhat, but he's more of an influence in my guitar solos." Thought that was interesting.

Also, Didier Lockwood was on the show. He was actually an opening act for Frank on the '88 tour!

oh, dweezil's touring again in the netherlands! but this time with classical music stuff! more on this later!

i thought this wasn't until december but i guess it makes sense since he was already on that dutch tv show several days ago.

i might see him if he's playing near me. i have the money but i don't care all that much for the classical stuff.

dweezil is playing reasonably close to where i live tonight, but yeah, i'm not going. half the program isn't frank stuff at all (it's dweezil/steve vai stuff) and the only frank tune i care about they're going to play is watermelon in easter hay.

The other day I talked to the friend of my dad who went to the Dweezil Zappa Plays Whatever the F. He Wants concert, BTW.

He said it was great, they played a lot of stuff from Freak Out! and they did "I Am the Walrus" as an encore.

Song of Two Hundred Sixteen Days Ago: Imaginary Diseases (from Imaginary Diseases)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EvLnf_SouF4" data-time="


I was discussing this guitar solo with my dad the other day. This is actually one of my Frank solos ever. Probably one of the sickest and most danceable vamps Frank ever solo'd over.

Played on that Dutch TV show, as I said in post #14. It's always fun to hear real people play this little number, but you can't beat the original version.

Song of Two Hundred Fourteen Days Ago: You Didn't Try to Call Me (from Freak Out!)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-tJ6sUxMQ5M" data-time="


From Freak Out!, an album that was apparently featured heavily in the Dweezil Zappa Plays etc. concert my dad's friend went to, as I said in post #25. This is probably one of my favorite songs on the album.

Song of Two Hundred Thirteen Days Ago: Bob in Dacron, First Movement (from London Symphony Orchestra Vols. I & II)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQsru1kRu9o" data-time="


"Bob in Dacron" was played at the classical Zappa concert I didn't go to. Though PLASTICDADA doesn't specify it in this upload, this is just the first movement. Not the best example of Frank's classical music, but at least this is a piece we haven't done before, if I remember correctly.

Also played at the classical concert. Hearing an orchestral version of this would have been nice, but I wasn't going to go to the concert just to hear this.

Song of Two Hundred Ten Days Ago: Hot-Plate Heaven at the Green Hotel (bootleg)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uy7_Dz4Wxro" data-time="


Taken from a concert from the '84 tour. Not the best quality (and it doesn't contain the entire song), but I think it's interesting how in this version Frank just solos over the uptempo "Hot-Plate" beat. Later on in the '84 tour he changed it to a "let's just let the band improvise the accompaniment" thing, and on the '88 tour the accompaniment was still like that (as can be heard in the version I did in the previous post).

Song of Two Hundred Nine Days Ago: Orrin Hatch on Skis (from Guitar)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xsV05Tlf38" data-time="


Orrin Hatch was brought up in the Politics Containment Topic awhile ago. This Frank guitar solo was lifted from a "Ride My Face to Chicago" performance from the '84 tour.
