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!

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 Size....Inca 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
