early Genesis, Yes and Pink Floyd, Gentle Giant, and less apparent maestros, like John McLaughlin and his Mahavishnu Orchestra, the Dixie Dregs and French electric violinist Jean-Luc Ponty.

I have all that in my collection. I'm a huge fan of Gentle Giant and all the early Genesis stuff. Even though I'm a pure rock drummer I've always preferred listening to prog. Back in the '70s when my bandmates were listening to Aerosmith and the hard driving rock of that era,I preferred stuff like Yes,Starcastle,ELP,Atomic Rooster,Triumvirat,Nectar,King Crimson,Gentle Giant,Wishbone Ash,Mahavishnu Orchestra(with Billy Cobham) and Genesis etc.

One of the ex-bassplayers in one of my bands moved out of state started a very successful buisness re-enginering old recordings such as rare albums which can't be replaced and haven't been re-released. Now and then,he'll get a recording to cleanup. If he thinks I would be interested,he'll send me a copy. Last month he sent me "Happy the Man." Even though I had heard of them,I never really heard a recording. After about 10 minutes of listening,I became an instant fan. Great stuff!!!

frequent changes in time-signature,

That is what I look for and one of reasons I'm a huge Zappa fan. Being a drummer,I appreciate the signature changes. 2/4 can get rather monotonous and boring.

I loved Zappa, not for his music, but rather for defense of the 1st amendment.

Yep.

I can remember some of his testimony. Tipper Gore wanted to know what kind of toys his kids had and he told her to 'Come on over and I'll show ya." And Al claimed to be a fan... lol Some of his lyrics were really crude and he hated P.C.(which was great) but his ability to write and compose was incredible.

Zappa was a genius in many ways.

Great, wasn't it! His testimony should be burnt on cd's and scattered across this country. *Every* investigative body should be handled by the citizens the exact same way.

Frank did make an album from his testimony.

Of course it has clips of the hearing mingled with music and is very amusing at times. At one point,Frank tells one of the panelists to "Bend down and sniff my anal vapors." It wasn't from the actual testimony but was overdubed to make one his points.

The title is "Frank Zappa meets the Mothers of Prevention."
