For those of you who need a refresher on Frank Zappa:

    I see Jimmy Carl there, the only other Mother of Invention who has left this mortal coil. Can’t believe it’s been 19 yrs. already.

    I met Jimmy Black in Austin in the early-mid 90s, he was a contract painter and I was working for Kelly Moore Paints. He moonlighted with his band “The Grandmothers”, who I saw many times around Austin. He was a wonderful, intelligent, soft-spoken dude. And it was my privilege to have known him.

    I was late to the party, but posted my first (of several) Frank tributes at my place.

    What a genius, and what a loss to those of us left behind.

    I miss him more than all the others who caught the train before me.
