Frank Zappa Links
Zappa band members & Cal the artist!
Mike Keneally-he has the tour diaries from the 88 tour listed.He seemed to miss some of the fun antics like the night Bruce Fowler ate the bible! I will be adding that story soon!
Ike Willis-he tours alot with zappa cover bands!
Scott Thunes-He's a great guy.
Cal Schenkel-a great artist.Last time i saw him was when Mike played withEd Palermo at the bottom line .....he said he was going to sell this jacket he painted & it would be on his site!I still havnt seen it!
Matts & Morgan-These 2 are great & ya can hear them on the Zappa Universe CD........Video.. Hehehe i have both! These were 3 great shows they played for Franks 50th birthday........Hey by the way Frank was suppose to go to see this ....But now this is something i heard this weekend (Call it a rumor BUT itt may be true since it comes from a great source).This is how the story goes.......Frank was supposed to come you N.Y.however the plane he was on had problems.See he didnt fly commercial airlines,being a heavy smoker & all...BTW did ya know he had switched from winstons to marlboro? See winston changed the packaging on the cigs.Started using something they called a "foil " pack. Which some people felt changed the taste!(yes i was a winston smoker!) Now where was I?Ok about Frank not showing up that night..ok see the plane he was on had a problem.............. The pilot said something to him that he could get it fixed & be on his way within a few hours.....Well Frank wasn't feeling all that well....... his health problems being what they were. Also Since Bill Graham had died in a plane crash not all that too long before Frank made the decision to stay home. Frank I guess he just didnt want to take the risk. Then all these rumors started & the official announcement came soon after about Franks Illness.
