FRANK ZAPPA - A Beginners Guide

[@PJprog]

Zappa is a complete enigma Cody. He can create music for us folks that we didn't know we needed and comparisons are impossible. Hot Rats , if I had to choose one album , but there is definitely holes in my collection and knowledge , and I need to dig deeper into the great man's music. Cheers Cody !!! 🎵🎵😍

Hey PJ! You’re so right. He’s just a brilliant, brilliant man. I’ve got probably 100 of his releases at least. Cheers PJ! 😃🤘

Nice presentation! I have a few of the albums mentioned, but my personal favorites are the all-guitar ones: The triple vinyl Shut up 'n' play yer guitar, ....some more, and Return of the Son of.... The only reason it isn't worn out is that I immediately put it onto a top quality cassette and then wore that out over the years. The "Guitar" album also is pretty good, and I have one of the posthumous Zappa Family issues (the one with the huge fuzzy mustache on the CD case) with a great version of Watermelon In Easter Hay, which got played at the funeral of a friend who was a big Frank fan. Getting into some Zappa Plays Zappa too. Dweezil's story about Eddie Van Halen is priceless, and shows how much Frank was respected in the artistic community.

Hey there Paul! Thank you for your comment. Very well said! Indeed the “Shut Up” set is fantastic - and I too own the vinyl! 🤘 love Dweezil too. He’s a spitting image of Frank and a really cool dude as well (I have met him before). Cheers Paul, stay tuned for more cool content 😃🤘🎶👍🏽

He is exactly what I imagine a hardcore Zappa fan looks like- except for the Canadian thing.

A new chapter Cody… Like a cockroach in the dark I hear someone talking about Frank I’ve gotta make an appearance. The best recommendation I can make for someone curious about Frank is…DON’T!!! Ye have been warned! I would suggest sticking to more “church oriented” activities and pure wholesome thoughts. But for you rebels out there do not go into those waters unaccompanied! Strap on your “Donald Duck” water wings and wade out carefully! Watch out for mud sharks and for chrissakes do not eat the yellow snow. So there you have it. Not so much a suggestion but more of a warning to the unwary!
