Shut Up and Play Yer Guitar


I took the plunge and ordered this CD on Amazon. It arrived two days ago and I've been playing it continously ever since. Three discs of Frank Zappa guitar solos. It's exhilarating, exquisite music. Really powerful, beautiful, dazzling. Technically amazing, but soulful too. Zappa has an incredible body of work. I'm familiar with only a small portion. He's gone, but of course, he lives through this music. Rykodisc has done a great job of keeping this stuff in circulation. What's really cool about our pop culture, there's so much out there, just waiting to be discovered. By the way, here is a really cool site for all things Zappa.
