I read a great anecdote in a book a few years back; Apparently the Capt gave Robert Williams a tape of him and jan washing the dishes and told him to create a drum piece of it. Scratching his head, off he went and did his best. He played it to the capt and he liked it, but J.M.Tepper (in a brown nosing moment I think) said "but don, I can't hear the water" "YEH", growled don, "WHERE'S THE WATER"!! ha ha, gota love it.

Captain Beefheart is the most interesting artist of all time in my opnion. I wish there was more interview footage of him. Errol Morris would have been a great interviewer for Don.

yes, the composition in question appears on the final Beefheart album "Ice Cream for Crow"--
and yes, I will be playing the Bowery Poetry Club in Manhattan with Gods and Monsters on June 20th at 10pm

Thanks Gary, I enjoyed that!
On Best Batch Yet Don asked me to play like a cat trying to get out of a card board box. (Cardboard was a popular theme with him as he wound down his musical career before abandoning his Capt. Beefheart monker)
He told me to make a snarl like a cat with it's back up during that section of the song.
Search Best Batch Yet to spot it.
