    RIP Frank Zappa 24 years ago today 12-4-93

    I still miss Frank more than any other musician. I was lucky enough to see him five times.

    RIP? I thought it was a known fact that he's been turning in his grave for around 20 years now.

    He would not be happy with the current state of things.

    My musical godhead for the last 42 years. Saw him 10 times. Miss him tremendously. And like rcarlberg alluded to, he'd have a lot to say with what's going on in the world and in his own family.

    Thanks for the reminder. A couple months ago I started listening to the FZ catalog in release order with the intention of listening to everything by the end of the year. Somewhere around the Flo and Eddie years I got distracted and never got back to it.

    So now my goal is to make every second album I listen to an FZ album until I've re-listened to them all.

    ^^ That's quite an undertaking.

    I hadn't quite finished this so I dug it out on the 4th, put it through the central scrutinizer one more time and finished it up. I call it Franks Bakery. This is done with watercolors. Enjoy.
