FROM THE MAESTRO
"For me it was always more interesting to encounter a musician who had a unique ability,
find a way to showcase that and build that unusual skill into a composition so that forever
and ever afterward that composition would be stamped with the personality of the person who
was there when the composition was created."
FRANK ZAPPA
a part of BBC Late Show with Matthew Collings
"BBC Television Tribute" 1993.
