#roxy & elsewhere

With this crazy self-quarantine, my younger son Dylan has not been home for a couple of weeks. He decided to come home for 24 hours and as I was finishing up my work day in my home office, I heard some wonderful sounds emanating from his computer. They were the sounds of Frank Zappa and The Mothers from their album Roxy & Elsewhere. When Dylan and his brother David were young, they loved the song Cheepnis and would frequently request it when we were driving somewhere in the car. So for Dylan and David and the late, great Frank Zappa, I am kicking off the weekend with Cheepnis.

Note: If you want to skip ahead, the song actually starts at 2:08. However, the first two minutes of the video is the “preamble,” as Frank called it. It is a humorous description of what the song is about; that being low budget monster movies.

In honour of Frank Zappa's birthday, I present to you his "Roxy & Elsewhere" album from 1974. It captures the 70's Mothers in full flight and is a long standing favourite of mine. Happy Birthday Frank Zappa, wherever you are...
