Dweezil Zappa

In the interest of full disclosure, this favorite FZ cover was performed by my son, Maxwell. 

Without giving you a very long and (possibly) boring backstory, Dweezil had Max upload his cover of Rat Tomago to Dweezil's old website (this is now saved at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BsoNyEw_CTQ).   After several other requested covers (including an unrequested cover of "Fwakstension" which seems to have been eaten by the interweb), Max attended Dweezilla and wound up playing Rat Tomago with ZPZ twice before a paying audience - first at Bearsville (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-fWMWUHgns) then in Tarrytown (in this clip, Dweezil gives the full backstory:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fM_ohCv3BqU).

Seeing Frank three times:  $75

Seeing Dweezil eight times and counting:  $totally worth it

Seeing your son play your favorite Zappa solo with Dweezil:  priceless

Robby Krieger

Chunga’s Revenge.  So good. The whole album is. 

And speaking of making your own world in your cranium, I like to think that Frank made Watermelon in the Easter Hay, (9 syllables?), for people like me who are arpeggiocally challenged, or for that first guitar lesson.  Instead of Happy Birthday, or Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, wouldn't one's musical life be off to a far richer start, if the first song you ever learned was Watermelon in the Easter Hay? A song in 9? In a really cool mode? Can I have an Amen sisters and brothers?

 have a special FZ song performance memory but I have no tape/pics from it. It was from a Michael Hedges show, at the University of Nevada, Reno campus, at the Student Union Hall.

I have a special FZ song performance memory but I have no tape/pics from it. It was from a Michael Hedges show, at the University of Nevada, Reno campus, at the Student Union Hall. It was Fall 1995, after a stunning two hour show, Michael came out for an encore and talked about his love of Frank's music. He then proceeded to play an acoustic version of " Sofa. " Not a dry eye in the house when he played the saxophone melody intro ( on harmonics!! ). After he finished, the entire audience stood up and gave him a five minute long standing ovation. To this very day, I've run into a few UNR graduates who also saw that very show and remember that moment. Incredible how FZ's music could translate like that on ONE acoustic guitar, 

Not famous as far as I know, but I found this a few months ago and I like very much

Too bad Accordian Rock hasn't done any covers because I think Frank would be tickled pink and would probably approve.

Fuse a string ensemble has done a couple of wonderful cover versions. Dweezil acrually was at the G Spot Tornado rendition and they were superb with Echidn'a 'Arf.

I think my favorite might be Michael Hedges' version of Sofa.

Hedges was such a great musician and innovator, it's tragic more people don't know him.

Also, The Persuasions did an entire album of Zappa covers that should be considered essential listening for any Zappa fan!

Cree Summer "Dirty Love" is a really good one.
