Loving the ride on this one BB - I'm not a diehard Zappa fan but this is just a great journey, it must have been a blast recording this one - funky, sleazy, down & dirty - great post!

There are only 12 notes, how hard can it be?....

Dave !!!!!!!! BE PROUD !!!!!!!!!!!! This is excellent !!!! I LOVE IT !!!

This was the only song I got a brief listen to when I was in Rome. Blew me away! And the connection too !! Well I'm glad I now have the time to enjoy it on proper headphones ans monitors and not the on my son's laptop. .(. yeah my headphones were stolen too).

I agree with Tim, this song is made for you .... or you for it !! You've managed to both be very true to the original and still given it your unique flavor. Your vocals on this is stellar and the guitarwork is a fantastic ZappaBerry mix.

Excellent drum-programming too. I had to go back and check that I had read right that it was the mbr you used.

I do hope you find time for another Zappa-tune or two Dave !!! Frank must be smiling big time !

Thanks again guys.  Zappa and Captain Beefheart, what a combination.  Too bad they didn't do more stuff together, match made in heaven.

Bump for VarietyFest.

This is excellent, BB! I guess I didn't get a chance to listen to it properly during ZappaFest, but I'm enjoying it now. Well done.
