Judy Henske & Frank Zappa

[alucard]

Judy Henske and Frank Zappa are two of my favorite artists and for me they have a special eyebrowy humour in common...
So the other day I listened to Henske's 65 live recording The Death Defying Judy Henske and the spoken intro to the last track has a strong similarity to Zappa's Intro for Don't est the yellow Snow and I am quite sure that Zappa knew , liked and used her ideas:
"Me and Admiral Bird we trudged across the frozen arctic wasteland"...where they meet a bit later the Eskimo "Nanook Itchigoony"....

[Mister Triscuits]

The album she and her then-husband Jerry Yester made for Zappa's Straight label, Farewell Aldebaran, is an absolutely delightful and one-of-a-kind psychedelic/acid-folk artifact.

Yeah, Farewell Alderberan is brilliant.

True.

That's probably "Gitche Gumee", as in the epic poem "The Song of Hiawatha" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.

Which is what the Native Americans called Lake Superior, if Gordon Lightfoot can be trusted.
