FRANK ZAPPA'S Studio Z | First Recording Studio

[@matthewdavenport2490]

Zappa was a stone cold musical genius. "Hot Rats" and "Overnight Sensation" are masterpieces. Thanks so much for covering this today and teaching so many about the late, great Frank Zappa. I am the one who commented on your awesome Zappa shirt when you went live a couple of days ago. Well done as always, Jordan.

[@jobeewave7677]

Thanks Jordan for this, I am a Frank Zappa fan .Growing up in the 80s never much listen to his music, but the man was AWAKE !!Watching his interviews made me a fan and he got my respect ! R.I.P Frank

[@romarainwork2676]

Do you realize what you're offering to FZ's fan ? We couldn't had found a nicer guy than you to dig pure memory materials like that. This is a treasure ! THANKS A LOT from a fan from France ! You filled my heart with dreams ♥♪ ...

These posts are addictive..in a good way .

The best thing about leaving Jah is reuniting on your return - true pals

[@edisongirard]

"The person who stands up and says, 'This is stupid,' either is asked to 'behave' or, worse, is greeted with a cheerful 'Yes, we know! Isn't it terrific!'" ~FZ .. so prescient, and he's been gone 25 years now. In SO many ways, the man was ahead of the times.

Another great vlog! I almost cried at the end of the video when you were saying goodbye to Jah. So touching, but as you said, you’ll be back before you know it!

The Zappa family moved to California when Frank was 3 years old - Frank Zappa was born in Baltimore County in a Area called Middlesex which is next to Essex my home town located 8 miles East of Baltimore City. Franks father worked for the U.S government at Aberdeen Proven grounds in Maryland as a chemical engineer developing biological / chemical weapons like Saran / mustard gas / Agent orange - That's where the D.C goverment stores it's chemical weapons in drum containers . Aberdeen proven grounds. I visited as I child -- they also store a lot of WWII German artillery there that you can see as a tourist - Close to D.C and the Chesapeake bay where that chemical factory is . As far I know - Frank's father continued his Chemical work with the goverment in California.

[@Zif-the-Old-Herring]

it's Aberdeen Proving Ground.

I might be movin' to Montana soon Just to raise me up a crop of Dental Floss

[@shable1436]

You should do a vid on Johnny guitar Watson, that guy was a mystery to me, and i had no idea that he influenced zappa like he did, and many other bluesmen, his song telephone bill is like the first rap song ever, and his song space guitar in 1954!! was so ahead of his time, and the fact i had never zeroed in on him seemed Mandela effect ish because i had heard of him but never payed any attention or mind, but when i got older and checked out his body of work, i understood why Frank zappa said he is the reason he became a musician/guitarist!!!

[@AH-ew6ei]

Frank Zappa, True Legend before Legends are made. I hope you get something cool for Jah. Be safe on your trip.

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

+A H thanks

[@v2vroth]

Awesome! Thanks for this one🎸🎶

[@markservisjr5212]

Crazy story first I just found your channel love your videos I'm a huge fan of Frank but what's really crazy in 2000 I was 18 I went out there to visit a friend and got a tattoo at claremont tattoo shop and had no idea I was next to Franks first studio my mind is totally blown

[@kimberlygoss7773]

Hey Jordan!! This was such an interesting vlog. I really enjoyed learning the history of Frank Zappa. I actually did not know who he was. I always learn so much by watching your vlogs you always do a lot of great research on the topics. I teared up at the end watching you tell Jah bye. I know you will miss him. I hope you have a wonderful trip.

[@mizzsparkle3421]

Jah loves you so much! I know nothing about Frank Zappa. It is time to further educate myself!

[@adventureswithchristian6967]

You drove a lot for this vlog, and did a great job! My grandparents lived in the Sunland, Tujunga area, and that must have been a drive for Frank for so little money. Thank you

[@richardmetzler3678]

Does anyone know if his studio was by the old Mayfair market in cucamonga

[@themopedmetallist]

Frank's preliminary muffin test kitchen gets a respite about every 3 months when the road crews need to work on those sections of Archibals..AGAIN. Never mind the Stack-and-packs on Foothill and Arrow

[@tamigarrett3513]

Okay, Jah almost made me cry. He looked very sad. I know he made it through okay, but, darn that pup can give some sad eyes.

[@paulotonedef]

Pretty sure it’s “Capt Beefheart vs the Grunt People”, but doesn’t matter. Thanks! I love FZ. I was devastated in 1993 when I found out he had died. Sad day for this Zappa fan.

[@MoviemaniaNick]

Great vlog Jordan! We will miss seeing Jah in your vlogs for awhile. Cannot wait to watch your next adventure!

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

+MoviemaniaNick thanks!

[@KLEARSKITHEKREEPER]

Zappa! Jordan u always come thru with good ones.

[@sallylouise9826]

Enjoyable story and great location ! Loved Frank Zappa’s story and glad that Jahs going to have fun at Brecks . 👍🏻💙🎥🎬😎🦁🐶👍🏻

[@sheilariley5179]

Loved this! Muffin Man was a favorite song of mine. Poor Jah. First a shot, then being left alone without his daddy! Have a good time and we will certainly miss you!

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

+Sheila Riley you won't miss me, I'll be here every day on KZbin:)

[@denisebeaudry4519]

OMG Jordan you can tell Jah senses you are going away...you both look so sad..over the last year , I've become very found of the sweet Jahster....have a great trip, be safe, and I 'm sure we will all be on your trip with you.....happy packing.....

[@trevorrandom]

Again great information

[@ellenhammel4884]

Awwwww -- you made me cry -- I HATE leaving my baby (Barney) -- he gets in my suitcase when I am trying to pack. That makes me so sad. They SO KNOW when something is happening. They are so smart. He loves you so much! But, the Jahster is in good hands with Breck! SAFE TRAVELS tomorrow!!!!! Honestly, I have never had any interest in Frank Zappa, but I am definitely going to check him out. It's sad that people are judged by their clothes, hair, or by the fact that they are "different" ... who is to say what is different.

[@rev.jennyosorio7003]

Well that,was sad for me. Jah knew something was up. He felt your feelings of sadness. They know. I felt your feelings. I can hear it in your voice. I love Jah! Great vlog on Zappa. Didn't know anything about him. Have a great trip and be safe!! Peace to you and Jah!! ❤❤🐾🐾

[@Jakki61]

Frank Zappa was not someone who l listen too, but still find the information interesting. And l will go to read more about him. That is why l like your vlogs, you cover a lot of different things.

[@nickhurst611]

What an awsum video! Thanks for putting it out

[@brianharris7243]

Zappa and Jordan=great!

[@janadeubner9883]

Very interesting Zappa history. Poor little Jah's sad face. just heartbreaking.

[@peteytwofinger]

its telling to me how "they" tried to oust him , under a trumped up entrapment based charge , then he spent the rest of his career taking shots at these same types of people , in the subject matter of all his lyrics . that chimey sweep story is great and i will be retelling that one , so thank you - great great great video . i read franks book and i was just telling my wife this story a few days ago . i swear this computer is listening .

[@debbieclark7031]

Great vlog on Frank wow what a life and I'm not gonna lie I teared up at the end of the vlog. Have a wonderful and safe flight, and I'm looking forward to the adventure you're taking us on.

[@petermaxwell2965]

Out in cuc-ca-monga many years ago..🎼🎼🎵🎻 Talk about the city abusing their power !

[@itsazappathingthesonof272]

very good

[@misspearlpearl7530]

Wow...fascinating. Going to miss the puppy face.

[@eazypeazy33]

Great video... 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@mynewway5974]

Great video

[@loridee1182]

Another cool video, thanks.

[@mynameisvna]

Great video! Aww Jah is going to miss you! But I am so happy we still get to see the Jahster! Safe travels! Can't wait to see the Belgium vlogs.

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

+Vianey Frias thank you!

[@JGM1721]

One very interesting story-- what a raw deal Zappa received. It is really bad to think that this abuse of power is allowed to continue.

[@magnusbnordh9624]

Enjoying alot of your videos man ! Too bad I dont live in La.

[@catherinaherterich7178]

Really enjoyed your blog

[@coopersweetie]

Awesome, loved it!

[@coopersweetie]

Just so weird seeing him look so smart and conservative hehe.

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

+coopersweetie not the typical Frank look

[@kathleenhorner9296]

Awww, Jahster...we are going to miss you. Please, Brick, post those little clips of Jah while Jordn is away. Meanwhile, we look forward to following on your trip. And did I say that Zappa rules!

[@lawrencewaechter2397]

Great story, but some of your information is incorrect. The actual studio was across the street where the shopping center is now located. The building you're claiming to be the studio was the hardware store. The little white extension was the municipal court house. I know this because I grew up about a half mile away. When Zappa was there, the drug store was right next door. I was about 5 or 6 years old at the time, my father would tell me to stay away from the studio, " weird things go on in that place!" Make me laugh now to know the real history, and one of my heroes was actually part of it.

[@mantovannni]

I subbed to you the other day after watching you do a vlog at Zappa's Laurel Canyon home. Really interesting stuff I don't know enough about FZ and love to learn all I can about him as a person and not just through his music. I'll have to look for your earlier vids where you talk about Zappa/Beefheart.

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

+mantovannni thank you

[@voodoochile9819]

Great Vlog Jordan , it was very interesting to see a bit of frank's past and for jah he looked kinda sad ,even I felt it. Have a great trip!

[@tangie777uk]

Made me cry

[@belia1313]

I am nervous about moving out to LA, how did you do it Jordan?

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

+belia1313 just buckle up, and go for it.. I didn't mind it because I didn't have much of a future exciting life where I was liv ing before, so I thought it was worth it before I regretted not trying

[@atlanticity]

Is it time for another Zappa Vlog?

[@sharonlongfellow6064]

Thanks jordan for such an interesting vlog have a safe trip . Will miss jah though see you next time ✈✈✈✈

[@debbiemoeller2169]

Jah is such a social butterfly😍. Look at him run at Brecks. Lol. Be safe on your trip. Interesting about Frank Zappa. Thank you. Can't wait for your vlogs coming up. ...

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

There's a wonderful book that I bought many years ago, The Movielover's Guide to New York (also one for Hollywood, which you may be familiar with). We used this to explore nyc & environs since forever and it's a fabulous resource. If you're interested, I'll send you a copy of the book. Even if you don't have plans to vlog here anytime soon, this book may whet your appetite and inspire you to do so. Let me know if this book would interest you and if so, to where I should mail it.

[@JimmyJoeization]

Fast fwd no, yes?

[@rosalieallen8828]

Never gets ene easier does it Jah.😔 Studio Z Frank has an intense look bout him. Musta had a funi bone in him tho seen as what he sent 2 the detective lol... an the broom wid Lorrains mum. What a fiasco.

[@lauraodle5816]

😢😢😢 The end of this vlog was just too much! Oh my gosh... I forgot all about the Zappa vid. UGH. 😣 Nothing like the connection between man and his devoted companion. Thanks, Brett! Jah is in excellent care. 💖

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

+Laura Odle im sorry. It was rough

[@garbage854]

Good video :)

Thank you..

[@mslaerik66]

I went threw airport security with Lemme

[@malayali-appreciator-69]

I wonder how in the world they were going to make the conspiracy charge federal? That would require a federal law be violated requiring usually that you either committed the crime on federal land, in a federal building, against a federal employee, or of course that the crime involved multiple state jurisdictions. Also wonder what other events or persons Gail had Frank leave put of his book and interviews etc...She was a real control freak which is odd because she tolerated the extreme infidelity for so many years lol...oh well.
