Thanks to Frank.

Yesterday I recieved via Amazon Trance-fusion by Frank Zappa, the third in the guitar solos trilogy [as it currently stands].
Due to the bad weather and an accident on the M5, i was forced to take a somewhat circuatous route home. I started the CD in the car as i left work [it's not on my iPod yet], and the final notes faded away with much cheersing from the live audiance, as i pulled on the drive at home.
Having been a huge Zappa fan in the past i've only just started tyo listen to any stuff again.
How odd that on the day after this journey, i recall today is the annerversary of Zappa's death.
So, just to say 'MUSIC IS THE BEST'
AND THANKS TO FRANK.

Outer Limits Theme!
Just Started Getting Into Zappa
I must say it's not easy, I think I read somewhere there are about 4 different musical Zappas can't remember what the sub genres were, but I would have to agree.
Zappa I think was a musical genius, a great guitar player but I am not sure whether he wrote any great pop tunes, which I particularly like.
I do like the satirical Brown Shoes Don't Make it though.
Zappa...
wrote and played all sorts of music. Orchestral classical albums, Synclavier albums, full-on rock albums and widdly guitar freak-out albums.
...as well as all the other stuff that didn't fit into any of those categories.
Just dive in and try something. If you don't like it, try again :-)
"Trouble Comin' Everyday"?...
..one of my favourite guitarists, but I hate so much of his music, especially the more peurile end of his ouvre.
