Just a little "Zappa/Varese" sidenote. At a Carnegie Hall show (don't remember if was the Mothers or Grand Wazoo), a buddy and I gave Frank a Varese LP at the start of the show and Frank said (something like) "Ahh, Integrales and Ionisation. Very cool. Thanks for the album." He handed it off to Bald Headed John who stayed very close to Frank as we approached the stage.
