    I love this, an unfettered description of how it was when musicians first met Frank before he was really famous. I saw a similar reaction when in 1968 Frank interviewed black musicians from the 1950s for his article in Life Magazine. You could see their shocked faces when they saw Frank's shoulder-length hair but after a while during which Frank showed due respect to them, they left clearly impressed and admiring.

    The Wrecking Crew Frank was like that- the psychological aspect - A bunch of examples:
    - Him asking George Duke to play real simple stuff on George's audition. - ruclips.net/video/ERFUbX648S4/видео.html George complained and Zappa said, "Something wrong with your hand?" After George complained about study at the conservatory Frank said, "Oh... it's beneath you?"
    - When he told Steve Vai that Linda Ronstadt was looking for a guitarist after Vai mentioned that a note Frank wanted him to add in 7/8 reggae was impossible.

    Of course he hired Steve
    - And one of the best stories is how he borrowed the Ikettes when cutting tracks at Bolic Sound and got them to sing this part: ruclips.net/video/smZA9Jv3qH0/видео.html
    Took them three days... after Tina got it she was so excited that she ran to the other control room next door to get Ike. He was so pissed. After a few measures he said, "What is this shit? You can't use the girls names on any of the credits."
    And to this day - no listing of the Ikettes on either album - Over-Nite Sensation and Apostrophe . What a dick.
    That session wasn't filmed but him getting two of the Ikettes to do Cheepnis was -see this ruclips.net/video/5-kXTFSswKw/видео.html
    What an amazing man. One of the last great composers of our time.
    Imagine if he'd have done more stuff with the crew...

    Though Frank had some zany lyrics the musicianship / production of his albums was always top notch. He could both play & compose at an extremely high level. He also strived to get as much out the players in the band as he could by testing their musical / creative limits. One thing missing from this interview is we didn't find out who won the $100 bet 🤔😁?

    Steve Allen had several talk shows during his tenure. He hated rock’n’roll and would mock it any chance he would get. The Mothers were a guest on his afternoon show and when they were done playing, as Frank was walking over to the dais to be with Steve, the house band started playing weird, out if tune stuff as if to ridicule Zappa. Frank sits down saying “hi” to each of the guys in the house band one by one by name, putting them in their place. Steve Allen pipes in “isn’t it true that most of the pop tunes have the same players on each record.” Zappa responds “no.”

    Frank was a musical genius but he flushed to the beat of a different plumber.
