Chat is archived.

Good morning. It's going to be interesting! Missed last week

Good Morning. You are officially the earliest messager of this show's 7am run.

Thanks for doing this!

did you do the king crimson 50 shows last year?

Your welcome! Guilty as charged.

those were great! Made work bearable

Thanks, glad to hear it.

Was that a custom Zappa-based station ID?

Oh Yes. That, uh, took some time.

I can imagine. Trying to find just the right excerpts from what must be over 200 hours of recordings. Not easy.

W, P, & R were very easy. It a few days to of intense meditation to squeeze out the B.

Probably came up empty on the "Princeton" part, though.

I'm sure he said on some bootleg I'll never hear.

Really enjoying hearing all the non-standard versions of these songs!

Awesome. Focusing on that was sub-goal for this run.

That's Sun Village to you....

Ruth is a force of nature

The Best

Hey, good morning DJ Mickey *waves* Hi, fine people of the chat 👋

Looks like I'm late to the Zappa party!

Good Morning Christine

Happy Winter Solstice to all the Frank Fans !

And a Happy Great Conjunction to you as well, Mark

If we only had clear skies tonite :(

The power will still be felt.

any time for Playground Psychotics 1992?

Almost kentman. Much Flo & Eddie next hour.

last week I tracked down Some Time in New York City to buy, your deep dive reminded me of hearing Zappa behind Lennon on Cold Turkey live!

Johnny Guitar Watson

I have '... Drafted " on 45 . I think it was a bonus deal when I bought a t shirt n stickers from Barfko Swill

Mr. Watson is out of control. I love it whenever he pops up.

To complete the Frank birthday celebration check him out as a Miami Vice villain - he’s pretty great as a weasel dust kingpin:)

Seen it, good stuff

Beautifully nasty guitar player Johnny

I never heard the early version of magical pig. Wow. So good

I had to edit this a bunch, but still a good time.

The Flo & Eddie period is rich with vulgar language

Aarrgh I tune in late and miss most of the show! And when I turn in it's that talkie haha Flo & Eddie stuff I can't stand And I look at what I missed and a tear rolls down my cheek

Help I'm a Rock is a form of redemption thank you

Hope to hear a bit of civilization phaze three

Tears Began to Fall is an excellent Flo & Eddie era song, shoulda played it

Yes I will agree with you there!

CP3 stuff was earlier, sorry

It just always took too much lame party humor to get there

You still deserve a standing ovation, other than Marvin Rosen I don't know anyone else that has focused this much on Zappa! Bravo sir!

Don't know if you remember The Worried Waltz, but Zappa was often all over that show as well.

The memorial barbecue was a treat

A big favorite

As is Eat That Question

Awesome.

And # one ain’t you.

Give me a half dozen for the hotel room!

Rappin' Frank

Thank YOU Crank Some Frank !!!

2 great ones in a row! Persuasions and this

Frank ain't stank! 🌟

Brian D.... did you go to Jorma

Birthday party?

It sounds even creepier.

That's right, you heard right, I'm off next week due to Marvin's marathon, which you should still tune in for anyway. So thanks for listening, happy holidays, see you next year, Happy Birthday Frank, and please proceed to the Clamour Club.

Thanks for the Z.

Goodnight boys and girls.
