I'm crying because I'm thinking of my beautiful art teacher in Delray Beach Florida 1966-67 who turned us on to Freak Out after she let us paint anything on a strip of 16mm film, randomly spliced it together, turned the lights off, turned the projector on and played Freak Out which had just been released. Our minds were completely and wonderfully blown. Ever since I have loved Frank Zappa. This is magnificent. Thanks.

My friend and I had a similar experience. Walking through a popular department store around about 1968 or so, we JUST HAPPENED to walk by the record player they used to pipe music for all the shoppers to shop by. Having one of my periodic strokes of genius, I ran to the record department and got a print of the Mothers' latest "hit" album. Back at the record player, I stealthily replaced the shopping music with Zappa. What a laugh we had, nonchalantly walking out, as Brown Shoes Don't Make it terrorized young and old alike. I distinctly remember a member of the staff running by us, a look of horror on her otherwise pretty face.

@@gregorytrotter6657 a similar-but-different experience in a record store in a mall in Calgary: Zappa In New York had just come out & i was looking at it with obvious interest & the nice girl behind the counter chirped "would you like to hear it?!" & stripped the cellophane off & threw on Titties & Beer. there were, of course, cranked speakers in the store but there were also speakers pumping this out into the mall itself & everything was fine until Bozzio yells "blow it out your ass motorcycle man!" & the manager came storming out from the back offce to rip the thing off the turntable, order me outta the store & start yelling at the cashier, who'd been having a good time until horrified by this harpy starting in on her. culture clash!

Wow. Didn't know this existed. First time hearing it. This seems like his overture to Death. I doubt Frank believed in an afterlife, so he is brooding about mortality (aren't we all). Wonderful to see him conducting this last opus and read his enigmatic face as he experiences this last hurrah. I have to listen to this some more, but on first hearing it seemed beautiful and terrible, a brilliant musician's attempt to put his death struggle to music, to create some art out of his tragic, early death. How I miss his voice and his music these days!

Frank endeavored throughout his musical life to get proper performances of his orchestral works. As well, he demanded a lot from his Rocking Teenage Combos, but they had the advantage of playing the music on tour night after night, as well as months of rehearsals prior to touring to get it down. Frank never had enough time and resources to prepare the various orchestras to play his demanding and tricky music to his vision and standards, until Ensemble Modern came along and approached him to compose music for them to play. Not only did they have enough rehearsal time to get it down, they paid HIM for the privilege. He finally got the best performance of his orchestral music. Sad that he had to wait until the end of his life to get that satisfaction, but at least he, and we the audience and fans of his music, did get to experience his music as he meant it.

A lot of Frank's music is intellectual exercise, and to my ears without- well, like Ellington said, it don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing. I'm afraid most of Frank's symphonic music strikes me this way, with rare exception. And I DO like a lot of his music.
