Frank Zappalachia

Here's the deal...

I just listened to Earth To Moon by Moon Unit Zappa.

FZ was no angel (complex guy [possibly on spectrum] absent parent, and a serial philanderer), but he wasn't evil.

GAIL however... 😬

Zappalachia is a Bluegrass celebration of the genius of FRANK.

I conceived an all-star recording project

ZAPPALACHIA:
A virtuoso Bluegrass celebration of the music of Frank #Zappa with all-acoustic instrumentation.

I pitched this to Gail Zappa in 2011 via her brother who shared it to her after I shared to him in an email.

AI COULD NEVER
HAVE DONE THIS.

Oh hai, Marc!

Could you please share with Moon and Co.?

Thanks!

Should a documentary on this project be given the green light, you should direct.

A #guitar story @mrdavehill.bsky.social will find interesting...

When #ZAPPALACHIA happens, I want to talk about it on AXE LORDS.

🗣️📢 PLEEEEEEEEASE tell Chris Thile about this!

EAT THAT QUESTION

(11-string Washburn)

#ZAPPALACHIA WILL
SOUND MUCH BETTER THAN THIS. 😱

This is still pretty f'ing cool tho.

I want a Sturgill Simpson
"Willie The Pimp" and like a Dan Tyminski/Alison Krauss "Sofa". 🛋️

This idea needs to go from "OMG!" to UMG. They hold ALL the cards.

It's a creative vision too good to remain in isolation. Bluegrass and Jam fandoms will DEVOUR it.

Also, GRAMMYs.

And...THE BAG. 🫳💰

Dear @alexwinter.com:

I know you're busy with Waiting for Gadot prep and being a good citizen, but if you could please take a moment to compel somebody at UMG to GET OFF THEIR GYATT and press "GO!" on #Zappalachia, that would be most..."excellent". 😉

Do you know how BADASS it would sound to hear someone shred George Duke "Eat That Question" licks on a DOBRO Well, I do.

I vividly hear AWESOME music that doesn't yet exist.

This is one of my musical superpowers.

AI CAN'T DO IT.
I am a sommelier of SOUND.

Zappalachia is like cool 💰 idea 4,080.

I tried to think of a funny robot name for him and failed but I did decide he was from the part of robot planet called "zappalachia"
