He had Frank on the air on several times , and Dweezil and/or Ahmet and/or Moon on many occasions. I have most of those appearances on tape.

Talking about FZ on the radio, I have a 3-CD set of FZ on KPPC Radio (Pasadena, California November 27, 1968 ). No FZ music but hilarious oldies: Screamin' Jay Hawkins, JB Lenoir, The Turbans, Johnny "Guitar" Watson and so on. FZ brought his own LPs. The commercials are funny.

I remember Frank used to be a fairly frequent guest on<br>WNEW-FM in NYC. Scott Muni usually handled the interviews.<br>

"It's not even important to be remembered."-Frank Zappa, August, 1993

I live in Allentown, PA and do a radio show at WMUH Allentown, Muhlenberg College's station. FZ is a god there, at least amongst the community (non-student) programmers. By which I mean FZ gets played regularly by a good number of the djs there, myself included. One of the djs used to do a "Mother's Day" special; every Mother's Day he'd play nothing but FZ and the Mothers all day. My friend (and fellow dj) 'Little Stevie Bon Bon' and I did the Mother's Day thing last year from 2-6am. So...um...if you live in Allentown, PA and you like Zappa...you're in luck. If you have real audio you can listen to WMUH online:<br>http://www.muhlenberg.edu/wmuh<br>Click the Real Audio link in the left frame, etc. I can't guarantee you'll hear a lot of Zappa this time of the year--the students get first pick of show slots during the school year (I didn't end up getting a show this semester) and lot of them have never heard any music produced before 1999. A good bet is to tune in Saturday nights from 8-11pm. That's Little Stevie Bon Bon's show, Radiowave Distortion. He plays a lot of Zappa, and if he's not playing enough for your taste, you can request stuff if you have AOLIM. The screen name is 'WMUH request'. <br>There you have it. WMUH is your occasional source for Frank Zappa on the radio. <br>-ratchet!

not too often here, I did get a DJ to play Dinah-Mo-Hum one night at like 4:30am during my lunch break.......very rare occurance of FZ in these parts.

The only, and I mean ONLY, station in these here parts (Santa Maria, CA --Central Coast o' Cali) is K-OTTER, which is up North, near San Luis Obispo. I heard them play"Eddie, Are You Kidding?" and almost caused an accident  :-[ :-[ :-[ :-/

Not that often...<br><br>Click on Zappa's picture and you can hear parts of interviews, very interesting! There's also a very long (almost 3 hours) (!) interview with Steve Vai. (click his pic)<br><br>[/quote]<br><br>Great link Sebastiaan, In one of the interview snippets Frank expresses his disgust about the Albums with the Gary Panter covers, I wonder why he didn't repackage them after he reagained<br>ownership of them??<br>

Norwegian listeners should tune into NRK P3 tonight at 20:00. I hear that Harald Are Lund has made a series of programs about FZ, that will air on the next few Mondays.
