The Stone Age* Presents: A Tribute to Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention
This show is dedicated to the loving memory of Barry Barush— a Zappa fan. The music one listens to is part of how we define a person. How we expand our friendships and how we learn from each other. No one style of music can dictate who we are or why we do what we do in this world. As each of us share our love of music with each other, we open ourselves to knowing more about our friends our families and our community. When you dig into a friends music collection, you sometimes find out something you may never have known before about them. Listen, smile, grow.
This one hour show explores the music and history of the early days, 1966-1970. Subcultural information is provided, however, audiences will notice that this program focuses upon music and enjoyment, and not on hysteria, overweening praise or name dropping. Included are selections from ‘Freak Out’, ‘Absolutely Free’, ‘We’re Only In It For The Money’, ‘Lumpy Gravy’, ‘Uncle Meat’, ‘Weasels Ripped My Flesh’ and ‘Burnt Weenie Sandwich.’ The albums that featured, for the most part, the original musicians (but, with the addition of some others, later) put together to form The Mothers in 1964 in a recording studio in Cucamonga, California! (Hotcha!)
