On this date, 27 years ago, we lost one of the greatest musical composers and one of the finest rock guitarists who ever lived..
Frank Zappa
He was only 52 years old...
Love his music or hate it, the man was a musical genius.
He had a very wry sense of humor and his satirical songs were written to poke fun at anything and everything..
Nothing was too sacred for Frank to poke fun at..
If you were never lucky enough to see him in concert, you don't know what you missed...
The man could wail on the electric guitar...He would absolutely shred it...In my opinion, he was was of the top 10 best rock guitarists ever..
I saw FZ in concert 3 times in the early to mid 70's..
Including the performance with Flo and Eddie, which was recorded 4 days later at the Fillmore East in N.Y. and released as an album, "The Mothers, Fillmore East June 1971".
Here's to you Frank... Your music lives on, in very many living rooms around the world...
