Balint has some of the most interesting anecdotes! Several years ago I took myself off the anti-depressant Zoloft and replaced it with a daily regimen of Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention. While not recommended for everyone, it certainly did wonders for my mental health!

Hi all - now I’m fine, thanks all! :-)
Today I’ve gone to the Hospital again, and gave the doctor the book. She was glad.

Hope it’s nothing serious Balint.

Yes, the most unexpected people like Zappa music. And I think a lot of Frank’s music would be appropriate to the operating room - the best of it is both stimulating and calming…

Speedy recovery. Etc.

This makes me think of how a lot of surgeons (at least in the US) now have music playing in the operating room while they work. Imagine the surreal image of abdominal surgery accompanied by The Torture Never Stops…

I know a guy who wrote once to Joe Travers; his short answer was “Not at the moment”.
Get well soon Balint!

By the way Balint: logic leads me to believe that if there was an anecdote 002 for today, there must’ve been an anecdote 001 preceiding it. Care to share that one with us? By all means, feel free not to answer that question.

Hope you recover at an extraordinary speed, Balint. You know : one of the best tunes ever played by Albert Ayler was called : ” Music is the healing force of the universe”.

Now a +/- bizarre story.

Till a couple of years ago I had - while travelling around , mostly Europe- two solid principles.
My criterion for checking if the place I was visiting truly belonged to Civilazation was double:

- How do their graveyards look like? Here I dscovered that things happen to be much more complex than I thought they were.

- Are there FZ records available in the music stores? Here the answer was -in most of the cases- positive. You can find them anywhere in Europe.

I hope you get well soon! This is a good book, pay attention to the story of the ‘76 sessions with Bozzio, O`Hearn and Frank. Best regards Frank B.
