Hey, thought I'd check this place out. I've been looking for a while now for a good place to have musical discussion and I was lead here. Obviously you can find all my interests on my profile, but you can probably tell from my name and avatar that I'm a HUGE Frank Zappa fan and hopefully I'll find some more here!

Don't have much Zappa (2 discs), but he has some incredible pieces. And a very, very good guitarist indeed. Prefer his instrumental passages as opposed to the vocal stuff. Anyway welcome to the nuthouse - it's a fun place.

Hi Apostrophe, & welcome to MD.
I'm a minor Zappa fan, if that's any help... Hope you enjoy the site.

Welcome aboard MD, Apostrophe ('). I saw Zappa in the 80s and he did a solo for over 20 minutes ...mind blowing !
The members here have varying musical tastes so I think you'll like it here !
The ultimate connection is between a performer and its' audience!

Thanks for the welcome! It's good to hear that some of you have dabbled in Zappa. I'm still unsure of what genre to classify him as.

Music Head and I both agree that a lot of artists cannot be classified into a particular genre...whereas songs are easier to label with Genres... the example i always give is Neil Young...he belongs in no genre as he has made albums of soul,r&b, rock, folk, country,grunge,pop,blues/jazz, electronica, almost everything except classical and metal....

But he has dabbled with classical - A Man Needs a Maid - Speaking of which have you managed to get Dani to do the lawn yet or doesn't she know about all the tasks she will be required to do while you surf the net? (Just teasing). If I ever get to OZ Dani will be serving me with Steak and Cyanide Sauce.
