- About me:
Retired pilot, now I'm an amateur digital artist, metal sculptor, a rusty guitarist (but improving with practice) and surfer (not improving with age).
Have been listening to Zappa since getting my first electric guitar in 1969 and lucky enough to see Frank when he came to Oz, as well as seeing Dweezil all three times he toured here.
Oh, and I named my first dog (1973-1989) "Zappa".
Last year, my brother Buster came back from being a festival organiser at Telluride Blues & Brews and presented me with a cap signed by Dweezil.

Ben Timages posted a comment on the profile status Played a fun show in Utrecht at the Tivoli. It was great to see such a diverse crowd. Before the show I had a great opportunity to visit the hi tech audio studio of my friend Arjen, a developer of the amazing convolution reverb software Altiverb. That was a special treat, super cool place!
