Sorta met him once – he was taking tickets at a Mothers concert,might have been promoting it.He noticed one of us had a short dog (small bottle of cheap wine) in his pocket and he said “You guys must be from East LA”.

And were you?
Oso, I don’t know whether I’m proud or not to admit I know what a “short dog” is……
Here’s my Zappa story: Artie Tripp, The Mother’s drummer, grew up in Mt Lebanon in Pgh where I lived. His mother was very proud of him! He hung with some guys I sort of knew but was in awe of because I was like a sophomore/junior in high school and they were older and waaaayyyyyy cool

yes guilty as charged. Like the movie, born in East LA.

Funny how a year or two made such a difference when people are young. Now, Holte and Mike are both in their nineties yet we regard these senior types as very approachable. Funny.

OK – this is the first saturday music vid I published by myself, and I thought I had Frank’s picture as the thumbnail, but alas, no…. You’ll just have to imagine Mr Zappa at his finest…. We’ll get the hang of this, yet!

Thanks, for saving me Holte! Practice makes perfect – or nearly so….!
