Welcome Todd!
Don't let the appearance of reigning confusion fool you; we really have no
idea what we're doing.
Hope you enjoy your stay...
Cool Zappa story, btw.

Subject: [Zappa-List] Vines, etc...
hi all,
i'm a fairly new member of this. the
only other lists i belong to are the Tom Waits
and Randy Newman
ones. being a "newbie" i'm not too sure how these vines work.
although i'm a newbie to this list i'm a long time FZ fan, owning most
of his lps, all
the way from Were Only In It For The Money, Lumpy Gravy,
etc... my cousin turned
me on to FZ when i was probably 14 or so,
way back in the early 70s, i think it was
the live white album. it
was the first time i ever heard someone say fuck on a
record, i was
immediately hooked.
i actually met Frank during my senior year
in high school (1975) while interning at
the local progressive FM radio
station here in cincinnati. Don't You Eat the Yellow
Snow was
actually being played on the radio. he was in town to do a concert at
the
UC (University of Cincinnati) Fieldhouse and he dropped by WEBN to do
an
interview with ginger sutton. i got to sit in for the live
interview. the reason i got to
be there was because i had the most
complete collection of FZ albums, which they
used for the info. he
arrived in a limo, came upstairs for the interview and made
ginger look
like a total idiot, because ginger obviously didn't know much about FZ.
it was hilarious. i actually got to talk to him after the interview,
but became totally
tongue tied, even though i had all kinds of stuff i
wanted to ask him, however i was
able to ask him where i could find a copy
of Lumpy Gravy which was probably the
only LP i couldn't find. he
thought that was pretty cool and at the time i think that
was probably the
album he was most proud of.
well that's about it for now. might
check in once in a while but glad to have found
this discussion
list.

wanna eat some
clams? whenever i see a howard johnsons, or whenever i
order clams) hepburn
