This is a discussion group - that shares recordings of FZ, which are not available thru commercial channels, Calvin.
A couple of years ago, it was discussion only. A few of us started sharing (vining) some shows, in the hopes that it might generate more discussion... So we do both, you could say.
AFA other yahoo groups go, activity is spotty (at best), at least with the discussion groups. I hear there are other groups that specifically trade music, but I've never been active in any of them, so I shouldn't presume to know what goes on...
I subscribe to 3 FZ yahoo groups: this one, theBIGnote, and Dinner with the Gurney's. This one is the most active; theBIGnote is quite active, tho a little more intimate (fewer members, more personal; almost an FZ Fan Support Group) than this List; Dinner WTG has the most members, but thanks to a couple of unfortunate choices by the owner at start up (which cannot be changed without dissolving the group) it attracts folks more interested in porn than in FZ. No one has posted anything there in the last 9 months besides me...
www.killuglyradio.com has a discussion forum, tho' a lot of their activity mirrors ours, in that sharing the music gets a little more traffic than the discussion end.
I do check all four of these groups once a day, and it keeps me busy enough.
Oh yeah, there are some other yahoo groups that focus more on certain sidemen that played for Frank: Flo & Eddie, Steve Vai, and Mike Keneally come to mind; I'm sure there are others.
But we at the List do thrive (okay, maybe not thrive, but do love) discussing FZ and his music.
If you're amenable, I'd love to hear your take on the two hitchhikers... Or the early Log Cabin days, with Franzoni & the GTO's. One of our members, WHITE RABBITT, stayed at the place for a few months. I'd also like to get an idea for you creative process in regards to an FZ album: would Frank come to you with ideas; did you come up with stuff on your own; etc?
Whatever you'd like to discuss, or not discuss; the List is yours.
I, for one, am glad you're here! And if I weren't so effing financially destitute I would most certainly take you up on your generous offer. I do have a signed, CD proof of The Best Band by you (via eBay a few years back), but to have a larger work at such a steal is a dream!
Any of you Listers out there who can afford it, jump on this deal; it don't happen often...
Welcome, Calvin.
Warmest Regards,
SOFA - List Owner

Thanks Stucco!

Question about the group: Is this group mostly just for trading and
are there other yahoo groups with more discussion? I haven't had a
chance to really check out the various Zappa groups since I was more
active a few years ago on aff-z, and that seems to be a lot slower
now.
