(he always said i was easily amused), i spent most of my time between the age of 16 & 22 trying to convince anyone who liked music that they could LOVE zappa.i saw this band in 1973 at Brooklyn College. & every note was the time i got to the montana solo, i couldn't believe the other people on the train weren't hearing it.so, you might wanna do the same.just in case it's all DELETED.įrank zappa wasn't just the guy with the coolest muckin fustache ever, WE all know he was the greatest guitarist/composer of the 20th century.
