Here's a Blast from the Past

It's been a while since I posted some music. So...

The only thing harder to believe than this recording being 20 years old is that the song is about 30 years old and Frank died over 15 years ago. Frank Zappa is the only member of both the Rock-and-Roll and Jazz Halls of Fame. This song demonstrates why.

This song is called "Watermelon in Easter Hay" and is the last song in the third act of Joe's Garage, Frank's ode to garage bands, groupies, cults, censorship, and appliance fetishism. Just to show how odd a Zappa show could be, the next song in this set is his version of Whippin' Post. Now that's shifting gears. I was fortunate enough to see Frank on tour in 1982 on the "You Are What You Is" tour. Musically, it was something special.

Enjoy!
