Hi. I've been trying to play guitar. Learning to play bass since July last year. And had a pacemaker fitted last week! So no lifting heavy guitars for about 6 weeks while I recover. Hope you are OK.
A friend and I are traveling from the UK sometime in the fall for a live music tour in the southern states. I wonder, does anyone hold information about when would be a good to be in LA for the purpose of seeing live Zappa music?
Incidentally, I saw Banned from Utopia at the Baked Potato two nights.
I just came across i "Baby Hit Me One More Time " with you and Ahmet , not something i would normally even play , but well done thanks for all the great music you've done! Hope you tour Canada again !
Hi guys! New to the site but not new to DZW, I was here in the early days but around 2015 i decided to take a break from music to pursue running and boxing for my mental and physical health. I've been out of the music scene for a while but im slowly coming back, I decided if im gonna do music again, i want it to be FUN, the polar opposite of what i was trying to do with my previous band Purposeful Porpoise, where every note and 7/8 syncopation had the weight of the world and my unending scrutiny laid upon it. Now a days im getting an 80s tribute project going called Cyclotron 2084 that covers tunes from Missing Persons, Till Tuesday, Iron Maiden, Jan Hammer and more. Hopefully i'll get to meet some of u if u are in the LA area. Cheers!
I have some lyrics that my friend wrote over 40 years ago that I just came across. The title of the song is Match Book Bart. He intended to send to FZ to ask for music to be put to it but never did. I’ll send the first page (of 4). Hoping you might have a melody looking for some lyrics now. Let me know if there is an interest. We all love it because we know the guy it
was written about. Always felt like it could be a FZ song.
DZPZ members past and present have three nights of ZAPPA planned for the end of April.(BakedPotatoJazzClub)
I know Sheila did some shows with Colin Hay of Men At Work last year. And a sit in with the Zappa Band last Halloween. Its been over two years since I saw her at the last LA DZ show. She's in this One Shot Deal group with Billy Hulting on Vibes! Jamie, Pete, Joe and Ben are in as well.

Picked up the ZAPPA '75 2cd set recently. Sounds great.
I have also ordered the Waka/Wazoo 5disc box and will be enjoying it this weekend. Nice.

Jeff Beck is touring!
12th row on Jeff's side! I sure hope Vinnie's in the band again.
Ordered the new album "18" w/Johnny Depp.
Have you heard the news ?

I (and am sure all you peoples) would love to hear Dweezil's view on this.
Administration said they will be starting a new forum, too.
Can’t afford no shoes
I didn't know where to post the following but have you seen this ?

I'd love to know what Dweezil thinks of him/his music.
My next live show is "Pop Will Eat Itself". Sadly no "Zappa" shows this year.
Went to see Gary Numan here in Liverpool UK.. He's still "got it"
Great show.
More ZAPPA music in Los Angeles!

I'm sure to be there for one night.
So far I have booked to see Gary Numan and Pop Will Eat Itself.
What up?
Any live music ventures for anyone?
Waiting for a re-scheduled Yes concert but not until June.
I have two rescheduled.
Roger Waters (from 2020) and Nick Mason's postponed February 2022 show is pending. This fall probably.
The ZAPPA Band has four nights in L.A. at the end of the month. I'll be there for at least one night. I hope Ike Willis will sit in.
Covid willing I might see if there are tickets left for Nick Mason's Echoes tour in May.
It's a must see for Pink Floyd fans. Lots of Syd Barrett era tunes. And now Echoes!
Merry Christmas!
Happy New Year!
Live ZAPPA music is coming in 2022!
