Definitely not one of their better songs!Sad to see him go, but not sad if I never hear that song again.
This one had a great piano and drums with good harmonies.

You SHOT FZ??

I think one of the most useful lessons one can learn is one's limitations, which goes along with learning that it's cheaper to pay a qualified 'repairman' to fix something than to fix what I screwed up.You also feel better paying a good luthier to do repairs you can’t and appreciate a good job better.
While I can fit nuts etc., my specialist repair shop does a fantastic job that I am willing to pay for.

Hmm. Since between 8th and 9th grade(junior high was 7-8-9; senior high was soph, junior, senior)the top hits in 1959 were "Lipstick on Your Collar"-Connie Francis and "It's Late"-Ricky Nelson, NO one had a chance.Well it came out between 8th grade and Freshman year. Girls loved it. And with those lyrics, if a girl sang along with them, you maybe had a chance.

Young man, you were supposed to be focusing on you book learnin' not the girls.Well it came out between 8th grade and Freshman year. Girls loved it. And with those lyrics, if a girl sang along with them, you maybe had a chance.
People say all manner of things. Heck, I invented the internet not that guy from TN who claimed it.You SHOT FZ??![]()

Yes you were there...If this was the NY show at the pier on the west side, I was there.
I miss Frank.
I had one as my first bass I bought. IYes, Japanese EB3 copy. Likely mid 60s to early 70s. No makers mark. The only interesting item is the distinctive bridge, which was also used by Greco.
That is an energy filled version! Zappa was insanely good with a witty sense of humor!Yes you were there...
The experimental take was released on his live compilation Does Humor Belong in Music?, recorded at the Pier in New York City in August of 1984. Watch the mind-blowing, pro-shot video footage of that recording below.

Nice photo! You must’ve been close. Can’t tell if those are all knobs or switches but that’s a lot of controls on Zappas SG!
Yes sir. That’s the problem.Here’s what that saddle looks like when you pop it off:

That's cool! And you know Zappa utilized the whole thing.Was 3rd for that show, was at all 6.
That SG was one someone built from scratch for him.
So he’s got all kinds of electronics jammed in there after he bought that guitar.

The Turtles, a popular band of the late 1960s, was founded by Howard Kaylan and Mark Volman. Their music resonated with audiences during that era. However, their journey didn’t end there. After the Turtles disbanded in 1970, Kaylan and Volman embarked on another musical adventure.
They joined forces with the legendary Frank Zappa and became part of his band, The Mothers of Invention.
When I saw the Boss at the L.A. Sports Arena on The River tour, Kaylan and Volman sang their parts on Hungry Heart. The place went nuts when they came out.I would never have guessed any of the turtles ended u-p as Mothers. Very cool.
I missed the ‘15 I think. I need to look for it.There are several Thunderbirds for sale in the classifieds including at least two VPs, a 2015, that NR that's priced to sell but wants local shipping, a Jackson, and more!
