@casestudyification she doesn't play any more? The impression I got was she doesn't play the Zappa stuff any more, that's what the '30 years...' remark refers to. There's no way she'd play with that speed and accuracy if she hadn't played at all, not even picked up a pair of sticks, in 30 years.

Ladies and gentleman, watch Ruth
All through this video, I have been thinking...
oooh, what CAN'T she do to amaze everyone ?
I love you Ruth Underwood!!!

Did she make the same 3 mistakes on the album?
-
@maynrdjkeenan Frank did tell him that. Read it in an interview.

This video was STUPIFYING. Zappa is still light years ahead of everybody else. Ruth is a great musician, and I can't believe she doesn't play anymore, as great as she is. Thanks for posting. Amazing.

"Apostrophe" was my introduction to Frank Zappa more than thirty years ago. My friend said: "Check this music out. You'll never forget it!". He was right. Thank you very much for posting this interview; Ruth and Dweezils' comments and stories are priceless. And what musicianship!

"it's just difficult as all hell" - couldn't have said it better!

@SKYVOLTAGE CHARVA! I LUV YA. I LUV YA THROO AND THROOOO

3 mistakes? I don't recall one. It's as if I was listening to "Apostrophe" as recorded.
-
not surprising - his song "trouble everyday" from the freak out album of 67 is, for all intents and purposes, one of the first rap songs ever
Frank Rules and Ruth is the very best on the planet at what she does. Great post. Did you kids see that hand written manuscript? Awesome.

on something so BEYOND what they
are used to.
