Zappa was a wild one. He was a phenomenal musician who would write intricate pieces, ruthlessly practice his musicians, then put them on stage and secretly switch the order of the songs at every musician's stand, so that when they started, each was playing a different song.

Yes I have heard from zealous music aficionados I know that Frank Zappa was a very talented musician. I'll have to listen to his music again one day when I have some time. I thnk music is a bit like food. Only trying one type leads to a very dull life. As they say..."Variety is the spice of life !"

Some incredible musicians worked with Zappa, Jean Luc Ponty is the first one that springs to mind.
