Looks like You, Eli and myself are outsiders...
For what it's worth, I never called Napoleon "Nappy" either and
wouldn't be surprised if he smacked my condescending ass one for that, either.
On the alleged thread of this I heard from backstage talk (so take
it with a grain of salt) that there was always some tension in the ZFT camp
since Napoleon would not agree to work exclusively for the Zappa Plays Zappa
band. He was not about to turn down a gig with Project/Object or any other
Zappa tribute outfit that was not authorized by the Zappa Family Trust.
As I said, this was hearsay so take it as such, although it does
make a certain amount of logic (if not sense).

Hmmm---well, that offers some explanation as to the reasoning of why I saw
Ray White at the ZPZ show in Tulsa last year instead of Nappy & other FZ

there---things must be getting really funky over at the ZFT---hope they get it
together---I wanna see ZPZ again!---keep it cool Nappy!!---we're all pullin'

All I know is that Nappy was origianlly penciled in for this past years
tour but something must have happened because he said "he couldn't make
a deal with the devil (GZ). That was why they got Ray White.
