If not for Frank there never would have been an Alice Cooper...nuff said!
Frank followed in the footsteps of his namesakes ( just guessing ) most popular song "my way" A very smart dude who fought the law and won. One of my old buds ( David Kimber ) played keys for him for a while. Dave wrote the music for the "Woodsy the owl" PSA message.."Give a hoot don't pollute". Dave was a pretty good player...maybe I under rated him based on the post above.
His experience was the dude was driven, strict and had a zero tolerance drug use policy.
I got to see Zappa a few times...and it was definitely a treat...There's stuff that is waaaaay out there like 200 motels...and stuff that is just way progressive like Inca roads. I was indecently exposed to him at 16 with Freak out....Suzy...Suzy cream cheese.... Motherly love and go cry on somebody elses shoulder.
His favorite Ruthy Underwood was an animal..
Here's a pic of Dave and Frank at the studioski

Stereo Mixes Produced by Frank Zappa with Kerry McNabb at Paramount Studios, 1974. Mastered by Bob Ludwig, Gateway Mastering, 2009
FZ: FZ appearing on the Mike Douglas Show, 1976 "This was put together with my own money and my own time and it's been offered to television networks and to syndication and it has been steadfastly rejected by the American television industry. It has been shown in primetime in France and Switzerland, with marvelous results. It's probably one of the finest pieces of video work that any human being has ever done. I did it myself. And the animation that you're gonna see in this was done by a guy named Bruce Bickford, and I hope he is watching the show, because it's probably the first time that a lot of people in America got a chance to see it."-
Because 'Token' has never been commercially released until now, it is one of the most sought after Frank Zappa programs.
