Zappa's Rehearsal Director

The sound of that band, as far as Zappa fans go, is probably one of the least liked ensembles because we were very clean. There was very little goofiness. Not much to bite on to. We did the same songs over and over and over again. So it was a very interesting time to be involved because it was tight, but it was sterile. You've got your 1980s kind of thin sounding thing and all of this combined with Frank's high end hearing loss. Icepicks, records, icepicksity.
