As you all know, I LOVE MUSIC. If you love Zeppelin, Yes, Alan Parsons, Frank Zappa, and other great Rock and Roll bands you may just want to check out Umphrey's McGee. They are playing next Friday and Saturday night at Saint Andrews in Detroit.

Frank is dead, unfortunately... (or maybe his death was faked and he's living in Montana as a dental floss tycoon).
I saw him live several times at the Grande Ballroom (alas, it was decades ago)... and on a BBC special in which the Mothers of Invention played alternating sets with the London Philharmonic (all Zappa compositions). Final set was the Mothers and the Philharmonic together. After the performance, they interviewed some of the Philharmonic members (who were all about 80 years old) - who said they considered Frank Zappa one of the greatest composers of the 20th century, and were honored to play his music.
So, Dan - do you know - - Who are the Brain Police?
