Short Zappa Clip

[grcsomd]

Been a while since I have recorded anything... Got some new gear, and this is my first "sound check" clip.. A few short runs from "Black Napkins"... Hope you enjoy. Yeah.. its a little rough in places...

You know your way on the fretboard for sure. Good playing and recording.

Sounds good to me/Did you see ZPZ?

I thought that sounded quite good. I'm a big fan of both Frank and Dweezil [well, Ahmed too], and enjoyed hearing your take on Black Napkins. Very good Zappa-esque tone you got on that recording, particularly your use of the wah. Did you have a chance to see any of Dweezil's Zappa Plays Zappa shows? My wife and I saw the show this past fall in Orlando, FL. In a word, wow! Dweezil is everything I hoped he would be live, and more, and Frank would be so proud of the band the kid put together. These people are all top-notch musicians who can bring Frank's music to life as well as Frank's bands or Bogus Pomp [who also do a great job live]. Bozio, Napoleon, and Vai were all spectacular. I can still hear parts of Vai's solos in my head six months later.

Thanks for the kind words. Yes I experienced the Oct 30th show in DC.. Great show! Wow is right! I had never seen Frank live so this was a special treat. I really enjoyed Dweezil's performance/solo on "The Torture Never Stops", he really laid it out there. I hope to have the DVD they are producing from this tour soon! In case you want "more" of the Black Napkins type clip I have another six minutes.. just drop me a note..

I am glad you enoyed it! From Joe's Garage: I have been working on "Watermelon in Easter Hay" for quite a while, almost as long as "Sleep Dirt" but they are/( I am) not ready yet.. I also have plans to figure out "On the Bus" as well. Outside of Joe's Garage I am also working on "Treacherous Cretins", "Sexual Harrassment in the Workplace" and the solo on "Inca Roads". Now being able to play "Ship Ahoy".. that would be incredible!!!
