about

What can I say about this small, strange collection of tunes? Let’s start with this: Frank Zappa was a huge influence on me. His sense of absurdity, sense of humor, and total musical fearlessness totally captivated me, and over the years he has been an influence on me in more ways than I can describe. But – I have never tried to be a clone of Frank or to write music that sounded like him. I have always tried to be me, and just let the principles Frank embraced guide me at times when I felt lost. This has led to musical compositions that didn’t really fit with most of what I do as a solo artist stylistically. So they have gathered dust inside my brain. Until now.

I humbly present to you four of my songs that FZ inspired me to write, plus a cover of his immortal “My Guitar Wants to Kill Your Mama.” Yes, these four tracks of mine are a little weird. Most importantly, they’re fun. They are a little crazy, musically, lyrically, or both, but it is not my fault, really. Frank made me do it.
