I'm sitting here talking to Museo colleague Frank Zappa,
legend in his own lifetime and leader of the rock religious group,
the Mothers of Invention.
[Eb] Mrs Zappa, how are you?
Rodon brother.
Oh yes, [G] and [G] funky.
That's my stage name.
Are the boys actually allowed to marry?
Yes.
They are?
[Abm] That's a very progressive sector.
Animals, eh?
They're allowed to marry animals? Yes.
Oh, how adult, how sophisticated.
I don't know the story.
Oh, you went to Tasmania then, did you?
No, no.
No?
We didn't go to Tasmania.
You didn't?
We had the opportunity but we turned it down.
Did you?
Of course a lot of that goes on there, you know.
I'm thinking of playing, you know, Tasmania myself, [Gb] doing a concert down there.
What do you think of that?
I think that it's probably one of the greatest [Ab] ideas you've had during this program.
Yeah, yeah.
It's good to have another string in your knot, isn't [Gb] it?
[A] I actually have another string in my knot.
Have you got a [E] harmonica player in the band?
[Abm] Not right now, no.
You haven't?
Oh, gee.
Well, I, you know, I mean, I'm available at the moment.
I don't know, I used to play electric harmonica.
Wait a minute, are you really available?
I mean, when we come down there, will you jam with us at our concert?
It [Ab] would be, you know, if I've got the time.
I'm available here now but when you come to Australia, who knows, I'm a pretty big personality.
[N] But the only thing is you might have to turn the music down a bit because I used to play electric harmonica
but it, you know, gave my lips a lot of static.
It used to pick up a lot of lint and I've stopped, I only play, you know, acoustic harmonica now.
Have you got a singer in the band or have all the boys taken the vow of silence?
No.
There's quite a few singers in [B] the band.
Oh, that's a shame.
There's seven.
Seven singers?
Yes.
Hmm.
They're all good, aren't they?
They're all mediocre.
Yeah, yeah.
At first I think it's rock and roll.
Well, you know, if you'd like to have a bit of a jam now.
Oh, you don't call it that over here, you call it jelly, don't you?
Well, yeah.
Name it.
How about a blues?
Do you want to play a blues?
Do you know Eliza with a Z?
You don't.
Well, whatever you think, you know.
I'm playing in the key of
How about folk rock?
You're in what key?
Folk rock.
I love it.
I love progressive music.
What key are you in?
Peter, Paul and Mary.
What key is that in most [E] of them?
It's in E.
E?
It's an A harmonica, but I play
Yeah.
Well, we're not exactly in tune, but you'll love this.
No, well, he's out of tune.
Yeah.
I really am.
Okay, take it away.
Okay.
Yeah.
Now, just a shuffle maybe?
Yeah, okay.
One, two, three.
I count it in, I'll count it in, [Eb] okay?
Yeah, come on.
Are you a member of the New Jersey Union?
Yeah.
[Ab] All right, just this once, okay?
I'll join this time, just so I can play with you.
Yeah.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, [E] nine, ten.
Oh, go on, you're going next.

That last bit, that had a sort of window in it.
[Ab] It sounded very good.
It sounded very good, Mr.
Zapper.
Well, thank you very much, Mr.
Zapper.
It was extremely interesting.
The boy's got a promising career, and when he comes to Australia,
give him a break.
