One of the BEST Zappa Bios I've seen

As you all might or might not know I am a complete disciple of all things Zappa, I like his sense of humor, his orchestral work and even some of his 'harder to listen to' music is tops in my book. I only preface this so you know I am not just posting any old vids and claiming them to be the latest and greatest I've seen without having seen much more.

I've studied this guy for years.

But I ... digress.

This is a six parter; 3 of which were set to go live YESTERDAY but I mistyped the date (Blame the good Dr for ruining what could have been your perfect day with Earth-Surface Broadcast included!)

So they are ALL coming at you today. (Three NOW, and three later this afternoon.

GREAT insight into how the master worked in his later years, I think it is well worth watching and making the time for. Footage like this is rare and invaluable into the process behind composing music, it also begs the question:

What would a guy like Frank be doing with today's technology, and how much further COULD he have gone after having a more than 60 record catalog (at the time of his death)?
