Masonic Temple in Detroit is where I saw Frank Zappa for the first time with @[100063481720652:2048:John Finan], @[578591880:2048:Michael Schwartz], and @[1309806385:2048:Chuck Morris] in 1980 (corrected). Belew could have been there since he joined the band in 1977 (he does the Bob Dylan voice impression on Flakes) Vai might have been rehearsing with Frank at that point but I don’t think he joined the touring band for another year or so.

John was at this performance - lucky you, it looks like you got to see Steve take off his hat! I’ve seen only one other where he did that. I don’t know who Mark S. is but I appreciate how he split the songs up for me to gather them together in a playlist.

Car woes today. My battery has had issues for a while. The terminals have always gotten corroded (that white stuff you see around it.. copper sulfate, I think?) and so i had to clean them regularly because there would be enough to affect the ability of current to get out.

I guess i left my trunk slightly open last night, and so the battery was dead. Discovering this at 25 minutes to work shift, I piddled with the charger but couldn’t get the car to start at all even after I cleaned the terminals. I have a theory that when that happens continuously, the acid in the batter becomes weaker and weaker as the sulfur ions are perspired away and that’s why my battery is now pretty much dead.

My new job is a 10 minute walk from my place, so I was there on time, barely. I walked home for lunch, played around with the car some more. Nope, it’s dead dead dead. Good thing I get an employee discount and the farm and ranch store has batteries, so i will probably get my new battery there. Hauling my battery under my arm sounds kind of crazy, but winter is coming and I don’t want to have to worry about starting my car.

It looks like i’m not going to see this, so enjoy the vicarious thrill with me. This is a really interesting discussion.

Carey: That time when I played in a country band…

Vai: Wait! Wait! What?

In this episode I sit down with the legendary Adrian Belew, Steve Vai, Tony Levin, and Danny Carey to discuss their upcoming BEAT tour celebrating the music of King Crimson. Delve into the intricacies of their musical arrangements, the inspiration behind the tour, and what fans can expect from these extraordinary performances honoring the legacy of one of progressive rock’s most influential bands.

i gues we’re posting pictures of our halloween treats. Last year, no one knocked on my door and I decided that next time anyone that bothers will get a full sized candy bar.

Getting a quantity of such was more difficult than I had anticipated. The usual grocery sources didn’t have anything but fun sized or you could buy full one at a time. I ended up going to Sam’s with a friend. I don’t expect that these will all go, but we’ve had three visits so far.

I have set up some hue lights in the window cycling through colors and I have a bluetooth speaker paired with my desktop which also has a Streamdeck so i can vary the colors and add some spooky sounds by pushing buttons.

I like movies tied that are tied to a day. I would say October 30th is the day to watch this because the part about burning houses around Halloween is exactly what was happening in Detroit in the 1970s and 1980s in what was called Devil’s Night. It peaked in 1984 when some 800 houses were torched.

You can still see the results by looking at Detroit in Google Maps in satellite view.

I started a new job to keep myself above water. I’m working for a ranch and farm retailer that is walking distance from my home. Today was my first day and as is usual for many jobs, I spent most of it sitting in front of a computer doing training.

I have had some… feedback… for the quality of the website used for onboarding. At first I was frustrated, then i started to laugh at how different it is compared to applying to a tech company (which has their stuff highly integrated). Eventually I found myself grumbling and giggling about “web devs in cowboy boots”. (my main criticism is there has to have been a module integration guide that someone didn’t read, otherwise why did i have to set up my digital signature six times?)

The training is interesting. I now know much more about gates and fencing and why horses and cattle need different kinds. I learned that fencing is often sold in 330 foot rolls (quarter mile) and for the first time in my live the measurement known as “rods” (16.5 feet) is relevant.

There was a module on how to approach a strange dog (first time for that in a corporate training).

It might not be a career move (there is rustling in the bushes about new hiring - i’ve gotten a few headhunter calls this week, and not all of them for one Micron job) but it’ll be an interesting experience like working at the gas kiosk. I just have to cut back on my taste for window food.

Zappa Plays Zappa is an American tribute act led by Dweezil Zappa, the eldest son of late American composer and musician Frank Zappa, devoted to performing the music of Frank Zappa. A DVD documenting the 2006 tour was released in early 2008, which this video is from. Filmed in Portland and Seattle, The Zappa Plays Zappa Double DVD collection brilliantly commemorates the critically acclaimed 2006 concerts which presented a collection of Frank Zappa’s rock-oriented compositions.

The band debuted in 2006 with shows in Europe, Canada, and the United States during May and June (the tour was also known as Zappa Plays Zappa: Tour de Frank’). The shows presented a collection of Frank Zappa’s rock-oriented compositions from the 1960s to the late 1970s. Apart from Dweezil Zappa on lead guitar, many of the band members previously played with Frank Zappa. Among those, Napoleon Murphy Brock (sax, flute, and vocals) was an integral part of the band, while drummer/vocalist Terry Bozzio and guitarist Steve Vai performed as guests in parts of the shows. At several shows the live band played along with audio and video recordings of Frank Zappa himself, notably portions of “Chunga’s Revenge”, “Dumb All Over”, “Cosmik Debris”, and “Muffin Man.”

Frank Zappa’s bands underwent many changes of members, and Zappa Plays Zappa has done the same. The first changes came in 2009–2010, starting with the departure of Aaron Arntz from the keyboard chair, followed quickly by the replacement of guest vocalist Ray White with the hiring of full-time singer/multi-instrumentalist Ben Thomas. Shortly thereafter, keyboardist/singer Chris Norton was added to the lineup. Changes have been made since, and most likely will continue to do so as Dweezil continues in his father’s footsteps.

“Echidna’s Arf (Of You),” along with “The Black Page, No. 1” and “Inca Roads,” is one of the best pieces from Frank Zappa’s “complex music” period (1973-1976). This instrumental piece was only performed with the 1973-1974 band as part of a sequence made of “Village of the Sun,” “Echidna’s Arf (Of You),” and “Don’t You Ever Wash That Thing.” It first appeared on the 1974 live LP Roxy & Elsewhere (recorded in December 1973 with overdubs). A late-1974 live-only version with a few accelerated meters can be found on You Can’t Do That on Stage Anymore, Vol. 2.

The piece calls for complex melodic lines, frequent changes in time signatures and tempos, and fast-paced action involving all musicians, often playing in unison. Yet, the whole thing adapts to an approximate 4/4 frame, making it easier to digest than the next piece in the sequence. Zappa keyboardist George Duke recorded his own version of it for his solo album Three Originals. Tribute bands tend to avoid this brain-teaser in favor of more popular hard pieces like “Inca Roads,” but the Ensemble Ambrosius managed to perform an interesting arrangement for Baroque instruments.

By the way, an echidna is a spine anteater. The dog and its barking (“arf”) are regular conceptual continuity jokes in Zappa’s catalog. Now, what the title “Echidna’s Arf (Of You)” means remains anybody’s guess.

Echidna’s Arf (Of You) was recorded at The Roxy Theatre in Hollywood, California, on Dec 10, 1973 (late show) and is the 5th song from Frank Zappa/The Mothers double live album Roxy & Elsewhere. The album was released on September 10, 1974.

*An echidna is an ant-eating Australian marsupial that vaguely resembles a porcupine.

*This song is usually played after “Village of the Sun” where there is no pause between the songs.
