I would have told him that I appreciated his friendship through the years and that I had learned a lot from him. I really loved Frank like you do a brother.

I went to work with a guy named Matt Fuller, who was a Mothers fan, and low and behold, Arthur was working for him also. We worked together for about six months and decided to strike out on our own.

I had met Arthur in the 60's when I was with the Mothers and had become good friends. He had moved to Austin because his wife was from there.
american-musician miss time
It was a wild time - a time that I don't miss anymore. But then again, I'm 62 years old now and I think that lifestyle would probably put me where Frank's at now.

In my opinion, Lenny Bruce was more of an influence on Zappa's satirical lyric's than anyone that I know of.
american-musician creating enjoy mind playing studio
I really like playing live and don't mind being on the road, if it's with the right band. I do like creating in the studio and enjoy the end results.
american-musician band fit good great picture rolling stones
I know I didn't like that dress 'cause it didn't fit but I thought it was a great picture. We weren't the first band to do a picture in drag; The Rolling Stones were. If it was good enough for them then it had to be good enough for us.

I've been writing Indian music for a while. Indian music is about Mother Earth, and mine is no exception.

I think he had one of the best voices I have ever heard. People say that I come close to his sound - and maybe it's true since I admired it so much.
american-musician might
The fans have been very nice to me and I might say that all those fans that Frank said went away is not so.
american-musician collins hope ray seen
I haven't seen or spoken to Ray Collins in at least 10 years so I don't even know if he's alive. I hope so.

I've done every tour with them since then and will always be with them as long as they're together.

I was hoping for it to be possibly a movie career as I still would like to see that happen. I enjoyed making 200 Motels and did try out for a few things when I lived in LA, but nothing ever happened. I'm still hoping though.
talking people mind
Most people are really cool and I really don't mind talking to them and answering their questions.
