#zappadan
With Zappadan coming to an end and Frank's birthday slowly winding down, I raise my glass and toast, "To Frank, Thank you for everything!!! ARF!"
This one's a few years old: Frank would have been 85.
#Zappadan
So it's getting to be that time, time to put away the burnt weeny sandwiches, various vegetables and the jazz discharge party hats; time to clean up the dangerous kitchen and go back up to the old loft with the paint peeling off it. But even though Zappadan 2025 is coming to close that does not mean the man's art and spirit are fading, on the contrary, Frank's soul is always alive when we question ridiculous assertions by authority figures, when we create without regard to convention, when we deviate from the norm and finally when we share the incredible gift that is music, with each other and the world. "The present day composer refuses to die." "Good night boys and girls." - FZ
#Zappadan 2025 is over... 😥
On the last day of #Zappadan I present to you the master's finest composition:

#zappadan Jour 18/18
Album : Joe's Garage
Titre : Packard Goose
Résumé : J'aurais pu choisir Watermelon In Easter Hay mais c'eût été trop évident. Packard Goose c'est un sandwich épais : deux tranches de fun et de sarcasme, un peu d'onirisme, un solo épique. C'est très simple : music is the best.
On the eighteenth day of #zappadan my true love gave to me; eighteen Americas drinking, seventeen rocks a'helping, sixteen Nanooks rubbing, fifteen pumpkins barking, fourteen brains policing, thirteen witches drowning, twelve Igors boogieing, eleven zombies woofing, ten fools a'dancing, nine feet a'stinking, eight willies pimping, seven dogs a'breathing, six weasels ripping, FIVE CHEAP THRILLS, four hungry freaks, three King Kongs, two burnt weenies, and a spoonful of lumpy gravy.
Remembering Frank #Zappa on the Eighteenth Day of
#Zappadan Born 21 December 1940.

Happy #Zappadan to all who observe it! You’ve probably heard this one even if you don’t know its name. Jazzy and almost majestic.

On this, the 15th day of #Zappadan, I highly encourage you to slap on those big over-ear headphones and turn the volume up to "deaf by 50." Have I steered you wrong yet? youtu.be/SsVbSG39xFI?...

Jour 14/18
Album : Weasels Ripped My Flesh
Titre : The Orange County Lumber Truck
Résumé : Je ne sais pas où classer ce morceau. Toujours est-il que j'adore son envolée irréelle de cuivres. Et la pochette est mémorable.
