bob is not the illigitimate son of Michael JAckson
Billie Jean is not Mr bob.


I thought I saw Ray next to the Beefpies at Boney's market.

I have seen ZPZ 4 times and the when Ray joined the show he defiantly had a learning curve, that being said New Year’s show in SF and the March show in Sac were flawless vocally, but all members had a part in that. I have come to believe Sheila has stepped up and like a true Mother of Inventioned has performed so many essential parts of the music it would be a huge loss for her to leave. That being said the obvious choice to replace the lead would be Ike, I am not sure what keeps him away but it would benefit all, including the fans. The second choice should be the easiest, Napoleon, if he had a problem with half, he should be able to get it all now. Another choice that someone mentioned earlier in the string that made me laugh since I was thinking the same thing was Flo & Eddy, but I’m not sure if that would be a long term solution. One other possibility is Ahmet, before you laugh DZ and his brother used to have a variety show and Ahmet can sing and has a voice very similar to his Dad. The truly bigger problem is keyboards, simple answer Tommy Mars!

I dont think Frank and ahmet has a similar voice, Frank voice is affected alot by smoke.

and besides that, Ahmet is "retired" from music to work on his writing.

I think FZ's voice split between the boys. Ahmet has that sonore thing I could listen to for ages, and DZ occasionally made me rub my eyes out as similar as he sounds, but he's not near the singer FZ was.

BBP is right the mixture of the 2 brothers might make a half way decent Frank, if Nap and Ike are off the table the only other answer is some new singer familiar with Franks music. I smell a new show either something like the "Rock Star" show or possibly "Zappa Idiol"!

he also had his larynx smashed and his tonal range lowered after an accident in late 71.

i am disappointed that i won't be seeing any special guests at the melbourne show, cos it would enhance the show so much
that being said, its still gonna be a friggin amazing show!
fingers crossed they miraculously pluck somebody out of nowhere to play on a song

I'm liking the calls for Flo & Eddie. That would be a nice change, and a treat for the audience. They brought a wonderful craziness to the Zappa band. How great would it be to hear them do more material from that era, too.

The voice is the most difficult sound to recreate.

I loved Napoleon doing the old songs he played with Frank and it was interesting to hear Ray playing his old stuff.
It would be ok for me to get another special guest like Ike Willis or Mike Keneally, but to be honest, I would prefer to see Napoleon come back. I love his very special voice and strong stage presence.

So, they lost Aaron and decided to tour without a keyboard player for budget considerations....and people think they're going to hire someone more expensive?

Whatever happened to Bobby Martin?

Also, my personal obsession... Denny Walley... that would be tastey.

Flo and Eddie

George Duke

IKE IKE IKE !!!

That's quite a line-up.
I've seen both Acid Mother and Gong's Gilli Smith on different occasions and they put on great performances. I had an opportunity to chat with Gilli after her show and she was very sweet. During our conversation I asked her about Kevin Ayers and if he was performing and recording again. She said he was still living in Spain, had stopped drinking too much and had started playing live again.

I always wonder how do you get in good graces with the ZFT and how do you fall out with them. Three years ago Bozzio and Napolean are guesting with ZFT and now they're playing at Zappanale which I'm sure Gail can't be too thrilled with. It seems this stuff happens all the time. Anybody have any insight here.
