Great stuff!!!

i did song comparisons since way back about two years ago i reposted youtube songs on my facebook and one series included mixture a (probably the doors..the end) and riki dont lose that number by steely dan mixture b. im unsure what the other mix "buttons" were. ok, im done posting. threes in a row is too many for the magnified psyche of youtubers trapped in this flux.

all you zappa fanatics remind me of my friend's roommates. staying serious to the point that its almost self mockery. your precision is unapproachable to be argued by outsiders such as myself. I'll leave it at that. ok, continue.

@timkelly when the music is over- the doors

@toobularbells -- I don't know what you're talking about with his mocking line, if you could send me a link...
But the point isn't labels, which is what offends other Zappa fans when I bring it up, the point is that people in his band say he never played the same solo twice. What's the difference between composing and improvising? One you do in a den at home and one you do on the spot, only some ideas are composed on the spot so why insult improvisational genius by saying it has to be planned

@theseanze Actually,this is NOT the version with the 'hey lets jam' line.Frank was STRICT and STRUCTURED.What sounds like 'jammin' is choreographed.Its his eclectic & eccentric style.The guy plays like he has 6 fingers on each hand ffs.
-
@theseanze read your last post to find 'wacky'.
During this song,Frank sez,"Hey lets jam...",& I've noticed a theme arising here(postings) on that subject.IMO it's a tongue-in-cheek comment made by him.

@toobularbells -- I don't get my opinions of music from magazine articles or journals if that's what you mean. I miss where I called him "the wacky composer" but Zappa went along with the underground image society naturally placed on someone so ahead of his time in musical and political astuteness. But he certainly had an improvisational attitude toward his body of work, yet inter-genre control of a dynamic band and so I think he does push the boundaries for an abstract category like "jam"

@theseanze hmmmm...seen him twice & been listening to him for over 30 years & heard him described as 'genius','awesome','fantastic'
,& even 'really good'....but NEVER as 'the wacky composer'.Where are you getting your info?
