This improv by Tommy Mars is what got him into the band. The ability to vocalize and play impressed Frank, he even dragged Gail in to listen to him at the audition. Another example of Frank utilizing his musicians to their strengths.
yep pound for a brown i think.zappa had at least a dozen versions of most of his stuff.any given night it could sound completely different...enter phish...
Seriously, what is with the faces that Terry Bozzio is making at the start of this video? Very strange...

Did you change the Scale length to 25" instead of the standard 24 3/4"?
I would imagine that being tricky.

When the bass starts at :22 you can tell it's from "Pound For A Brown."

Tommy Mars! This is from the great concert movie "Baby Snakes", which also has some outrageous clay-mation!

It's an excerpt from the song "Pound for a brown (on the bus)". It's basically a number for the band to solo/improv in.
