We havent had a new SLINGER in quite some time.
Here's a rather unique personality: FRANK ZAPPA.
I thought Frank was a decent player but MAN was his stuff strange. I had a
hard time listening to some of his music but I did find much of it to be
rather interesting. As a over all musician I have to give Frank 4.5 out of
5. I give him these high ratings not just for his playing, but for his
entire music composition.
ANY THOUGHTS ON FRANK? ____________________

had an interesting mind to say the least! 5.5 ____________________

Zappa was cool. Sometimes he could get way out there but I always admired
his way of thinking

Zappa was and still is great IMO. He was no fast soloist but I cant really
think of any other who has the tone he did. Watermelon In Easterhay would
be a great example. His music was like a paint brush in your mind for the
story or feeling he wanted to express or share.
I laughed pretty hard watchen a Stevie Via interview when steve said
he asked Frank , "So how am I doing?" Frank replies , "You are a good
guitar player but you sound like a greasy ham sandwich."
Just the way Frank could put things into a whole new perspective
wether musicaly or describing someones tone as a greasy ham sandwich was
just priceless.
"You cant write a chord ugly enough to say what you want somtimes , so you
have to rely on a giraffe filled with whip cream" FZ.
Yes a im a huge Zappa fan
