[Seymouro]

I saw this one when it came out...The Slime From the Video (don't touch that dial...)

Big fun!

I never saw this before... wish it was longer. One thing you could always count on with Zappa is that he surrounded himself with great musicians. I wonder how may careers he kick started over the years. This particular vid has Terry Bozzio on drums who went on to play with all sorts of people after parting ways with Zappa. He was no slouch on guitar either.

Exactly dude...Missing Persons spawned out of Terry Bozzio's experience with the Zap...and wasn't Warren Cuccarullo also dabbling with FZ and didn't he wind up in MP?

[Mark M]

Missing persons had an all-star lineup and every member came from Zappa's band. Both Dale and Terry Bozzio, Warren Cucorrullo and Patric O'Hearn played with Zappa right before forming there own band. I still have the Ryme & Reason album on vinyl and interestingly just listened to it last week... that's why this info is fresh in my mind.

Thanks so much for a great performance of a song that, somehow, I memorized years ago and have always been able to recite verbatim. My mind and memory have definitely declined over the years but that that song is in there forever.
