Hi guys. I've been on the road a lot this year, and I decided to take the time to listen to Frank Zappa. I started with the first Mothers of Invention album and listened to all of his official releases in his lifetime. I found he had a love of doo-wop, so I took one of his songs and did an a capella version. I started it last night, then scrapped it, then began again this afternoon. Just finished up and ran here to share.

You should put that on wikiloops.

I'm gonna flesh it out a little better first, some of the vox are a little off, some of the timing's not right, some other stuff.

It was good enough to share here on fngt, but I think I'll try to record it again when I'm having a better voice day.

This is so freaking awesome. I love Frank but man this is something else. Fuck yeah!

Thanks! I wanted to add fingersnaps, but I was under pressure to get it posted here. I'm probably not done with it. Maybe I'll re-record when my sinuses are clearer. There's another vocal part I want to add as well to the 2nd chorus, kind of a showboaty thing.

Zappa's musical output is huge. There were over 60 official releases during his lifetime, and there's been almost that many since.

The guy was superhuman. He would write out all those parts, audition people to perform it, rehearse them till they could play it live without the sheet music, then take it on the road.

I look forward to hearing the additions to it.

And I too love Frank

Excellent. He always surrounded himself with top quality musicians, many famous in their own rights. The first time I smoked pot his first album came out and we listened to it several times in a row. His cynicism and sardonic wit shaped me into the cynical fool I became and I'm damn glad he did. I loved the way he could get away with insulting most of his audience and they ate it up.

My older brother came home from Dallas for a visit. His car smelled like smoke, but not like cigarettes. He had an 8-track player, and Apostrophe and Overnite Sensation on tape. A marimba player in a rock band? I was hooked.

While we were playing that last song that I shared my girlfriend walked in to the studio with her mother, she brought her mother over to show her the live music we do and show her a good time. We all had a ball last night getting drunk and making a whole bunch of noise. Here we are all having fun with our version of Mungo Jerry's In the Summertime (soundcloud.com)

Lol. Between Verle accents and the chick singing a new backup part it sounds great.

I thought her lines were pretty funny in there, she didn't know the words but she sure did not let that stop her!

Once again, we're lazy. So, you get the band again - but you should like it. This was from an early set on the 4th of July, so I wasn't drunk at the time - though you can hear a mistake in the rhythm guitarist's vocals.

We should have something new for next week - when our 4th year anniversary is to be celebrated.

That sounds great

Of course it does! That's why we get paid the big bucks!

LOL Glad ya liked it. I didn't make anything new for this week, nor did anyone else here. I don't think we've recorded anything new for like a month and a half. Something like that...

Last night my friend Chris came over and him and my friend Verle went back into the studio, powered up all the loudspeakers and equipment and tuned up the guitars. I hit the record button and turned a drum beat on the casio keyboard and we just started to make some noise with no plan or idea and that was lit, what was that? (soundcloud.com)

I love it when a jam turns into more than you start with.

The return of Verle. His voice sounds in good shape, as always. Still can't understand him but he has a style all his own. The sound of the guitars is faintly like some After The Goldrush N. Young, but the vocals really jar with that. Sounds like a lot of fun, good for y'all.

[–] • 1 pt

Yeah Verle is back on my couch here, hopefully not for too long, but I thought that was just a wonderful way to start out the evening of jamming with my friends. There is another new singer that sang along with us last night in some music I will share shortly. They had walked in while we were playing this here song

It's always great to hear new people, that's why the FNGT is so much fun.

I read that site, and I'm confused. The site is invite only, right? So how do I participate regularly?

[–] • 1 pt

you can ask either myself or theBuddha or COF for a code to get in to participate if you would like to
