Great stuff from the Genius of Frank Zappa.

A couple I like from Frank [take note of his guitar playing parts]...

There are some very talented 20-somethings living in vans and touring small venues right now. Get out and see them.

Seeing these kids again on Friday night.

This very much reminds me of The Drive By Truckers in the Isbell days.

What the hell? One more young band.

I watched those last night on youtube before you posted. haha

When I was a kid I had a Bell & Howell portable cassette deck with just two cassettes. Mothermania and Steppenwolf.

I love Frank. What a smartass. He named the song San Ber'dino to make fun of the people in San Bernardino on their lazy pronunciation of it. Lol

Frank was also a symphony writer/conductor. I didn't know that until I watched his documentary movie "Zappa" [2020]. If you've never seen it I'd HIGHLY recommend it as it covers his childhood up to his death and has great live footage of his many musical journeys. It's currently streaming on Hulu if you have a subscription.

I saw The Mothers live in Dallas back in the 70’s. Perhaps the most memorable point in the amazing performance was when FZ pulled up a folding chair and just watched his band absolutely Cook for a few minutes without him. I’ll never forget that.

As a band leader he and Ian Anderson (Jethro Tull) are unequalled to this day.
