| Had me grinning from ear to ear. Those old time shows are still very funny. Where is the comedy today? |

| With Mel Torme as the other musical guest. I bet it made for some interesting chat in the green room. The mind reels! |

Frank was a longtime admirer of Composer, Edgar Varses. To me, its interesting and poignant that what may be Frank’s first major public appearance, and one of his final efforts; Varese: The Rage and the Fury (an album of Edgar’s music FZ produced a few months before passing away) shows a lifelong interest in the experimental. Steve’s repartee is great - Frank’s easy going manner is great, and humor is the order of the day.
I had only seen stills of the show, never the footage. Thanks for posting. |

"Frank Zappa... z-a-p-p-a, right?"
I've always wondered how he got his start.
Don't miss Part II.
My favorite was at the end of a Monkee's episode where Zappa is dressed as Mike Nesmith, who is dressed as Zappa and destroys a grand piano.

Tremendous!
I've been on my semi-annual Zappa kick, and this is making my day.
Youtube is a very cool thing.

He did. It's called "Truck Driver Divorce"; I think it's on "Them or Us".

if you haven't already, check out Sneaky Pete's solo on Frank's 'Waka/Jawaka' album. The song is "It Just Might Be A One-Shot Deal". It might just be Mr. Kleinow's finest performance.
Really enjoyed the Steve Allen clip. "Frank ZOPPA, ladies and gentlemen!" Steve was a hell of a musician too. He wrote "Gravy Waltz" which has been covered by Emmons and Jernigan among others.
