Once I found out the info was so readily available, I felt rather foolish - taking up his time... I've never encountered anyone in the Zappa pantheon so easily accessible, with the possible exception of Nigey Lennon (who also thought David was one of a kind), and Calvin Schenkel. David was a warm, sensitive, and caring sort, the likes of which are hard to come by. Always fondly remembered...
