All of Franks musicians were exceptional, but Mike has the ability to memorize every note Frank played and wrote, and sing the lyrics, which is super human in my book. Is that Scott Thunes on bass?

C'mon man. It's not a contest. He's growing and Frank was proud of him. And he's keeping his dad's music in public view.

@@John_13_35 Many people around the world are keeping Zappa's music alive in innovative and interesting ways. They're musical scores and are there to be interpreted and played but Zappa's guitar playing was highly idiosyncratic and that element of his music can't be replaced by Dweezil's bland, anodyne noodlings. There are people out there doing better things with Frank's music than Dweezil. He's a child of van Halen and all that tosh.

Wow, the hair, it's like the 80's came back. They did. THis is from last century. Look how young Dweezil and Vai are. Mike, you put the eyebrows on it! Loved the gospel singers.

Mr. Mike Keneally was very respected by Zappa, and he rated Mr. Mike Keneally as his top pick for many reasons. Beautiful concert, and you can't forget Matt's on keyboards, as he should have been going on tour on the Witches album , which is not bad for a blind person. It was always 'only best for dear Frank', and what joy he brought in his craft.

Session guitarist Mike Keneally has opened up about his experience working with Frank Zappa and the toll the music legend’s artistic philosophy eventually took on him. - In a new interview with Devin Townsend, Keneally, who’s earned his stripes as Zappa’s guitarist/keyboardist during his 1988 tour, says of the late musician [via Killer Guitar Rigs]: “He had such an impact on my life, even before I ever met him or played with him.” “I was fascinated by his humor, I was fascinated by his attitude, his bloody-mindedness, his individualism and individuality, and the fact that there was nothing else like him.” “I loved the fact that he seemed to be unimpressed by everything,” Keneally explains. “That manifested in a lyrical attitude that was frequently very funny, and, for me, very entertaining.” “He tied things together conceptually from album to album with little snatches of music or little snatches of lyric or lyrical concepts that would be repeated from album to album. You could plot what he called ‘conceptual continuity’ over the course of years, and that was like being a part of a secret club where you would find these little references and be able to piece all of these works together.” That said, as much as Keneally “loved trying to figure it out and trying to learn how to play” Zappa’s music, the artist’s cynical worldview soon started to take a toll. - “As time goes on, I realized there were aspects of it that had such a strong hold on me,” he recounts. “There was a certain negativity to a lot of it, and there was a certain cynicism to it, and he was proudly cynical. He thought that it was insane to not be cynical.” ~~ guitar.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/[email protected]
