the music of Frank Zappa refuses to die

About Me

I find those "I did this and I did that and I studied here and teached there and I played with this guy and then with the other guy bla bla" kind of bios really boring. If you gonna hire me, I'll write you one. Meanwhile, if you wanna listen to some more Frank Zappa music played by the Low Budget Research Kitchen, please go to our MySpace web page (link below)
