C&L has a vid of Frank Zappa, '78, playing his ASS off on "Suicide Chump"
...go HERE:

It's the guitar solo from "Suicide Chump" and it's a trademark Zappa fretboard workout.

The beginning and end of the clip reference a web site called Zappa Internet Jam Sessions (http://jam.zappafan.net/)...

They are building a NICE collection of streaming video and MP3 files.

FRANK!

2. That just kicked my ass!
Fucking awesome!

No one plays like Frank, and any talk about rock guitarists that have Frank in the beginning is a goddamned waste of time.

It's kind of sad that he gave up that old SG - I love the sound he got from that thing. really made it sing.

3. Frank Zappa inspired me to create music as well
I have been told many times we are Appalachian Space Lounge Music's answer to Frank Zappa. But in truth, I am not worthy.
