Mats and Morgan TV debut 1981, playing Frank Zappa
Рет қаралды 144,641
Күн бұрынFinally got this digitalized from the original VHS! This is me and Mats' first TV gig recorded in Umeå 1981. Mats (10 years old) is being interviewed by a classical pianist, and their conversation is soo funny! (Thanks Carlos for the added subtitles). Worth to mention is that I sent a copy of this VHS to Frank Zappa just a few months before he passed away (since we play Franks piece King Kong on this video). Called Gail Zappa later on to express my condolences, and just before we hang up Gail says "by the way, Frank watched the video that you sent, and he really loved it". That was great to hear cause I wasn't sure the vhs even reached his house. ❤️

There are a hundred likes for every dislike on this video, but I am still stunned that 13 people could give a thumbs-down to a 10-year-old self-taught blind kid playing Frank Zappa.

Thumb might have slipped, might have touched it and not noticed, a call came through or somesuch... distracted, watching on mobile, a lot can happen For instance, while using a phone, the viewer might realize they hate joy, or despise music.

Same. I was 13 around 1977 when I got exposed to Zappa. Apostrophe/Overnight Sensation. I was just starting to play drums and that was the album I attempted to play along with along with various Rush, Jean Luc Ponty and Mahavishnu. I refused to listen to the radio on my own. Of course I heard most of the drivel on the pop and rock stations. Zappa is definitely #1, followed by Jean Mclaughlin (especially Shakti) and Miles Davis.

It's amazing how, even though mats piano technique is far from perfect, you can clearly see his musicality shining through, putting correct phrasing on a rather confusing, syncopatious tune like King Kong.

I didn't know that! But Frank was a really good guy who'd often do things with his fans (no, not groupies). If he liked something, he really liked something. And if he didn't, he'd never turn down the opportunity to talk, debate or even perform with his enemies. Not saying that Morgan was an enemy, though! :)
