zappafest oldrottenhead lowers the bar with his version of flower punk

[Oldrottenhead]

i spent the day in the sun, a rare occurrence here in bonnie scotland,. anyway after all the fantastic zappafest posts i thought i'd lower the bar a bit with my version of flower punk. ive known this song for about 35 years and only during the process of trying to play it did i realise it was zappa's nod to hey joe by mr j h.

so i thought jings crivvens and help ma boab whit am a gonnae dae. so i did this, please forgive me.

Flower Punk

Avante-garde as hell, Jim - I don't know Zappa very well, but this was one of the first of his songs that appealed to me when I searched some out after the Zappafest started.

Great vox as always, and love what you do with that Juno.

Dear James, the spirit of FZ is absolutely inside your version. And the second mix is very good!

I wonder...if you can do such great things after a SCOTTISH  sunstroke, at WHAT LEVELS could you arrive after some hours of Mediterranean sun???

Its a great song, and you have done a wild and fantastic version.  Zappa would approve of this sonic madness.  I love all the little voices panned all over, freaky baby, get your freak out.  I love that line "I'm going to the dance to get some action, then I'm going home to bed".

Trippy and cool!!!
