We the fans are not in control. We have a choice to use our eyes and ears or read it and weep.

My sincere apologies to both Trendies - especially to Trendy small "o" since it was his memory I called into question.<br><br>"The tour never ends" .... hmmmmmm .... actually the [size=0](ZPZ 2005)[/size] tour never starts.   ;D

I was living in a back room in a hotel downtown San Francisco on Sutter Street.First year of a two-year vacation from music.Instead, pursuing camcording streets of San Francisco.Ran into an old musician -buddy from years before-&-he informed me of Zappa's death around ten days after it happened.

I was 2 when this happened. <br><br>I'm glad that I have a memory from a time when he was still alive. I was at my church randomly putting stickers on boxes...don't know why it stuck (the memory)...<br><br>I would be devestated if I were to experience the day of his death as an older, more avid fan...<br><br>he's made an impact, but today's society seems to have recovered from FZ's insight...what was he, 53 when he died?!  :(

Regarding this subject, as my little two cents tribute to the life and work of Zappa, I will be doing a two hour show, with just his music, on December 3rd, follow the links below....Hoping Ill do it live, then we can all get involved and have a blast playing great music for two hours, but if I have to record it, you can be sure that it will be varied and span his entire works.....

good man pappa<br>we did uncle remus and trouble every day<br>we never cover anyone<br>i remeber being just sick when zappa took off for his last our<br>i can vaguely remember it ...the news..and speaking to friends<br>it was as if i lost a limb<br>he did more in his short period than most wankers did in centuries

Where are they now?

My wife was pregnant with our eldest son during 1993 and I was enrolled and up to my eyes in some post grad computer science and sociology courses. Euan was born on Nov 1st 1993 at home and then I was up to my eyes in his birth, the ensuing nappies and the interrupted nights and so on. I had very little time for my own music at that point let alone FZ's.<br><br>At the time I couldn't keep up with the progress of his illness and was deeply upset when hearing about his death but as I said, I was up to my eyes in a birth that my wife and I were both very happy about and that seemed to go part of the way to balancing things out. I've been missing FZ like hell but I'm a lucky bastard and in the mean time I've had a lot to be thankful for.

I was in Sierra Leone. Not sure exactly where when he died as it took a bit before I found out, but when I did I bought a huge container of palm wine and a five packs of cigarettes for anyone from the village that wanted to stop by and join me for a Shut Up and Play Your Guitar marathon out of a crappy boom box.<br><br>

I was watching the morning news. They showed a picture of Frank, and even before the anchor said anything, I knew he had passed away. :'(<br>  (I had seen that last painful interview on WNBC.<br>and I knew Frank wouldn't be around much longer.<br> I knew it was coming, but I was still in shock. )
