I’d like to hear all about growing up in a rural mountain town in HE in the 50s. A Norwegian guy who posted a video about the rural town he grew up in there told me it has practically died because all the young people have moved to cities.

Hey man! Nice to meet you. I was a Zappa fan from 1968 till now and beyond. Lived in Geneva from 1977 till 2009. Switzerland was and is a bit retro. Can't imagine what it was like in the '50s. Wow. Glad you survived. Thanks to Zappa, I'm sure. Cheers!

thank you🤗

Holst, Varese, Schillinger, Stravinsky... All extremely talented 20th century composers who neverthesless lagged by Zappa's output. Still the greatest creator of music offered by that century.

@Steve Davis I take it you're referring to Roy Estrada, whose status as a sex offender came long after his being a member of the MOI. Not sure who else you're talking about, though Frank played with so many different musicians, it's entirely possible there could have been someone who fit that description. There is Jim Gordon, who did some work with FZ and a few years later was convicted of murdering his mother, but I don't think that counts.
