Return to Forever w/ Zappa Plays Zappa

Hi Back Will, If it's been a while you wouldn't recognize the place. You missed the hottest summer on record and devastating wild fires all around the area especially around Bastrop and the Lost Pines area.
Actually, work brings me down there from time to time, so I have seen the growth. I did get lost the first time I tried to head north of 620 on 183 after they made the big 183A realignment there. In the mid 80s I lived way out in the middle of nowhere between Cedar Park and Brushy Creek, which is now almost exactly where Parmer Lane hits Brushy Creek Road, and plenty of the places we used to escape the cops to drink (off of Lime Creek Road mostly) are heavily developed now. I could go on, but we're off topic. Have fun at ACL if you're going.
 
Guys-
Pete Griffin of ZPZ is also when of the most talented bassists working today. Also, watch out for his own band "Gryphon Labs" if you get the chance. It also features many of the same players as ZPZ (Jamie Kime, Joe Travers & Chris Norton.)
