ReplyDelete"Eating food from a long way off . . ." thanks for pointing me at that post, it's a fascinating read.
ReplyDeletePaul, I think I have every legal Zappa album apart from "Francesco Zappa", the Synclavier rendition of some 17th?-century probably non-related composer (I gather that even FZ thought that the material was tedious). And I have many illegal ones. Oh yes. I recommend "Buffalo", which you can buy at great expense or do what I did.
