Basically thirty seconds of content said ad nauseam for twenty minutes

This guy is reading from a piece of paper. (George has a number of pieces of paper)

Interesting new Mother: Mark Howard. ;-) He must be a maroon double knit sofa!

Way back a long time ago, when the universe consisted of nothing more elaborate than Mark Howard

George Duke at Yoshi's Oakland was a great time. It's where I was lucky to hear 2 of The Grandemothers' Shows w/the Nucleus of Don & Bunk, Napoleon, Tom Fowler, & Chris Garcia on Drums & Max on Guitar as I recall. A lot of Autographs were granted that 1st time. The 2nd 'drive-by' was a little bit smaller w/Dave Parloti on Bass- who didn't seem too interested, maybe as his own relationship with Z was a short one.Then Duke's Show & he, his Mgr/Pal on the road & I were the last ones there & he was very pleasant to be in the presence of as he kindly kept signing things including a new DVD of his Band playing a Jazz Festival in Europe. The Zappa family pretty much shut down the Grandemothers from the wide World of Mother mania & Maniacs w/their hostility as a bunch of sycophants about The Frank©® pat pending 🐄💨{Honk}. 'That FKG letter! If we didn't sign that fkg letter we'd have to get litigious & pay something like $60,000!' Don was not happy & since it was the decision of a booking agent to word marquee signs w/Original Mothers Reunion- OR words to that effect. Gail got ugly against the same people who'd put up w/second hand smoke & a poor health care package all the way around. Royalties? I don't know but I know George Duke passed away a few weeks after I'd been kind of pushy about getting everything possible Autographed that he was on explaining/pleading that it's not like we're neighbors & this is a big deal for me but I'm not trying to hold you up. He signed a few more titles & I let him go on his way but knowing that I was extremely grateful for his generosity & talents. He was dead about 2 weeks later. [RIP GEORGE DUKE 🎼🎹🌎🌍🌏]

[@kazjones-i2l]

Can anyone tell me, was Zappa Avant-garde? (asking for a friend)

[@PRODUCEDBYKEV]

Yeah, for lack of a better term.

[@HyperOpicMedia]

His EARLY 1963 video on the Steve Allen Show...pretty much says it all. He played...A BICYCLE !!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/h3eTgYyHba6CgpY

"Before his dead"? Who writes this stuff? This video is a piece of crap, unworthy of George's 'n Frank's talents.
