[Zappa-List] Introduction
Hi Group, Just wanted to introduce a 'newbie' to the group. What can I say? FZ has ruled my world for many many years, was able to see him live 5 times (certainly not enough), met Frank at the book signing for the 'Real FZ' book. I think I have around 75 FZ cd's (all commercial releasees), about 12 or so videos/dvds, 7 or 8 books this man has always intrigued me. His brilliance and intellectual-ism inspires me to keep 'informed'. My favorite solo is probably on One SizeInca Roads, or possibly The Squirm off of Apocrypha and now released on Trance fusion under a different name and different mix. Favorite quote has to be 'jazz isn't dead Favorite period, that's a tough one. Most likely the period of Zoot, One Size, Hot Rats, but the Grand Wazoo and Lumpy Gravy hit the stereo quite often. Have to commend Dweezil for doing such an incredible job on bringing Frank's music out to the public again. I got the chance to see 4 of the shows and that wasn't enough. I'm looking forward to seeing more and to see what he comes up with next. I have to say, he is keeping the music, the atmosphere, the talent all up to Frank's standard.doing the music justice with the band he put together and with the fun they are having on stage. The last show at the Morongo just floored me. What a way to end the tour this past year!! And lastly, being new to the group, I see there is a vine on the ZPZ shows. any chance of getting in this late? or the ability to do a trade with anyone? I'd like to relive some of these musical moments again. Thanks for listening!!! Robert

Welcome to the List, Robert; I am SOFA, your fat, floating, maroon moderator. May I suggest you check out the FAQ in the Files section on the Groups page? It will give you lots of nifty tuff bitchin information on how to enjoy this group (lots of info on the vines that happen here). You'll love it... It's a way of Life! Warm Regards, SOFA PS I think the ZPZ vine is headed over the pond for a bit, but you can still get in on the hot action - check out the FAQ! - Original Message - From: robert smith To: Zappa-List@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, February 09, 2007 2:01 PM Subject: [Zappa-List] Introduction Hi Group, Just wanted to introduce a 'newbie' to the group.
