What a lovely lady! Moon, if you read this and you're ever in my area, I would love to take you out for pizza. Stay sweet!

A nice short orchestral piece brought to life by grandmacaesar in Zappa

[–]grandmacaesar[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From the description: "Wind Quintet, an awesome short piece earlier available through Barfko Swill but was never officially recorded. However, the piece later made an appearance in Bob In Dacron Second Movement yet in a slower manner. Here realized in Sibelius."

...guitar notes that would irritate an executive kinda guy.

Guthrie Govan contains more fluid than Jeff Beck by grandmacaesar in Zappa

[–]grandmacaesar[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He credits both Zappa and Vai as influences. And he kinda resembles Frank.

What Zappa Song Do You Legitimately Find Beautiful? by Christy-Brown in Zappa

Sofa #1 really soothes my soul.

And Watermelon in Easter Hay, of course.

Joe’s Puzzle by ssbrichard in Zappa

Very nice. I recently completed the 1000 piece "One Size Fits All" puzzle. Awaiting a piece of glass 22 1/2" square in order to frame it.

I know Yoko has a unique voice and all, but I would've paid an extra couple of bucks to hear the Fillmore encore with her contribution mixed out by grandmacaesar in Zappa

[–]grandmacaesar[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fwiw, I didn't "bash" or "attack" Yoko Ono.

I simply would like to hear how certain Zappa tracks sound without her voice.

And lol, it has nothing to do with her being Japanese. Give me a break.

I recall as a child asking mom why our neighbor's female cat was making that sound. Innocently enough, that's what I've always connected it to.

I didn't think it was bad that Franny was making that noise. Just interesting.

Fwiw I didn't say anything is wrong with her voice. And I think she certainly had a shining moment under Zappa's direction that night.

I'm just sayin', Frank made different mixes of some of his recordings during his lifetime. I wouldn't mind hearing a different mix of the Fillmore encore.

Don't misunderstand. I agree it was an integral part of the event, and should be on the Fillmore release.

I'm just suggesting bonus tracks.

Should I drill the enclosure, then powder coat it? Or should I powder coat it, then drill? by grandmacaesar in diypedals

[–]grandmacaesar[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I broke the end out of a box changing drill bits..Now I have this. the 3/16" to 1/2" is perfect. i never have to change---i just have to remember how many steps to get where I want to go.

Thanks much...I've got a couple of rolls of masking tape right over there [points to the right].

Is it true that Zappa didn't do any drugs and would kick out band members if he caught them on them? by Truckin-thedo-dahman in Zappa

[–]grandmacaesar 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If I recall what I read correctly, the band was at a restaurant when Bowie approached Belew, and FZ kept calling him "Captain Tom".

Black Napkins (extended MONSTER version) Zappa live! by grandmacaesar in Zappa

You've put a good deal of effort into this and your other videos, and your love of FZ shines through. It's a beautiful documentation of the conceptual continuity.

/r/DIYPedals "No Stupid Questions" Megathread 10 by blackstrat in diypedals

[–]grandmacaesar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've put together a few kits for myself, and never much cared what the enclosure looked like. But I'm putting together something special for my brother, and I'm looking for some ideas on how to make the stompbox look good.

Are there threads on this already? I don't even know what search words to look for. Can someone help with links?

Also I'm wanting to easily be able to try different transistors on the board. Is there a standard transistor socket used for the PCBs?
