Re: [Zappa-List] The Grandmothers on tour

I'd be cautious about chatting up Frank with any of them

Reminds me a bit of JCB who plays with the Muffin Men.

The first time I saw them I asked JCB what Frank was like and he described 
him as a *hard ass*.

The last time I saw them I was standing next to JCB as the Muffins came on 
stage (JCB stands in the audience for the first few numbers) and I shouted 
out for Inca Roads..JCB said something like *not on your life buddy*.

I'm sure the band are good enough to play it but is JCB good enough to sing 
it ?
Probably not ;-))

I've seen them - tho' it's been about 5 years...
Photo's depend as much on the venue as they do the band. I saw them at an 
outdoor festival and cameras were not a problem. Your safest bet is to contact 
the venue where you will see them, and ask. And they had a merch table when I 
saw them: CD's, T-shirts, tour books - the typical fare. They were all quite 
nice about posing for pics and signing autographs.
I'd be cautious about chatting up Frank with any of them - especially Don 
Preston; he doesn't have much nice to say and the topic seems to rile him a 
bit.
Have fun. It'll be a good show, I'm sure.

   I'm sure many of 
  you all know that The Grandmothers are doing 4 USconcerts. If so, 
  doesanyone know if they allow audience members to snap pictures? Do 
  theysell any merchandise at their shows? Any info on this would 
  reallyhelp me out.Thanks
