1. In these times, Frank's voice is one I miss a lot.

2. I Share that Empty Feeling
There's not a single musician who matches Zappa's blend of innovation, humor, irreverence & surrealism.

4. I think not only was Frank a brilliant composer and commentator,
he was the best electric rock guitarist of his era.

Hendrix was cool, but Frank was on some other level.

5. I agree
A masterful guitarist, sometimes underappreciated.

6. Happy Birthday, O Magnificent One!!
I've been listening to a lot of Zappa lately. I only play Zappa for the week after the anniversary of his death, a tradition I started the day he died; but then, because changing CDs in the car is a pain in the ass, I've continued to listen to only Zappa in the car since then as well. :-)

I miss ya Frank. I really, really miss ya.
