One week on, still no nearer Zappa and a bit lighter in the wallet but enjoying the latest musical diversions!
Brecker Brothers - fantastic, how the hell did I miss them?!
Ween - definitely a grower. What should I go for after “Quebec”, “The Mollusk”?
Elton John? No. I could hear the strains of “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road” from the back garden, ran indoors and immediately ordered some triple glazing.

PS…. I love it when I hear my neighbor blasting FZ! I moved to a new house about a year ago. This spring, after a few Cheezy rehearsals in the living room… what do I hear but strains of Florentine Pogen… WAFTING… through the neighborhood, emanating from his upstairs window (the guy is in his late 50s). How lovely. Yet another story of a (ahem) Zappa cover band inspiring a … rekindled interest? Maybe he will go buy a reissue.

If your rekindled interest in Zappa lasts longer than four hours…seek immediate medical attention… side affects may include wanting to purchase ZFT vault releases…

A quote from Barry’s Imaginary Publisher:

ZFT tactics and FZ music are two completely different entities. Treat them accordingly.

Well said, Barry. There’s really nothing anyone or any “trust” could do to lessen my enthusiasm for the music of FZ. KUR has proven it can survive without little thumbnail pixels of FZ and Friday boots. Why? Because like the music of FZ, KUR is more than just the sum of its parts. It, too, possesses a particular, and peculiar gestalt. Where it will ultimately wind up, and in what form, who is to know? One thing I am sure of: the journey is half the fun.

if you temporarily loose interest in FZ, search the list on the Freak Out cover for musicians and try theese … you will end up with lots of groovy R’n'B as well as tons of avantgarde classic stuff
