thanks Mars. yes things are good for us in Indianapolis. ZPZ comes to Indianapolis on August 21st. That will be the day after the last performance of the play. There are so much Zappa connections in the play, it is really very good. The play called Trouble Shoot goes to Chicago in the spring.
Oneil is in Jamaica working with a promoter on his music.
How are you? Hope our paths cross again one day.
That's great about the play in your town. I hope things are well for you both.
I have been looking on my local PBS channel but they do not have the film lined up that was done about Chance. After it airs is there any way I can get it from you to watch? I would love to see it.
PBS story about the death of our son in Iraq. Zappa connection at the end of the piece. http://www.wfyi.org/selfsacrifice/SelfSacrifice.asp

The Indianapolis Show was great! Turn out was good and crowd was really into the music and the show. A local magazine "The IndyPlanet" did some anouncements that Zappa Plays Zappa was coming to town. Maybe that was one reason for the good turn out.
I thought Ben was the highlight of the show. He is really coming into his own with his own humorous take on the activites of the crowd and relating it to the song being played. I really think this adds to the show - a song like Titties and Beer deserves a local comedic flavor brought into the performance of the song - the Indianapolis show had some of that - good job Ben!
Thanks Dweezil for coming to Indianapolis and hope the Indy contribution to the panty quilt will give the knitters some good hours of work. Does Mr. Norton do the knitting? Or is it Mr. Travers?
