the fallopian tube is in my old radio its power gave birth to my life more powerful then a locomotive its knowledge was my gift as it gave me all i should know for me it was NEW for others plj but forever i stayed true to the music i learned more from it more then i learned from school and it taught me all the things to know and taught me what to play. this was avant garde even for the inventive mother. if i saw this when it played I would have thought this person understands what its all about while the blinders of mr.allen had no clue! zappa the most unheralded genius and just as important to me as the beatles. saw him about 25x, mostly the fillmore east. btw i made sure that i had my facts straight soooo i dare and pity the fool! it takes me back to to 1972 and i was in the 9th grade. i did my final term paper on the inventive mr zappa. my teacher an elderly woman often considered a bit stuff and colloquial but not at all! miss macormack who stood before us each day replete with those white ortho support stockings or whatever theyre called with varicose veins to add nausea to a 14 yr old with raging hormones reading my paper to the class. her thermos filled as usual with oj and (it was no secret) initially i thought she would ridicule me given what i new of her but not at all. she commented at its end that i find it quite provocative wow i thought and moving forward we became fast friends, we spent many hours chatting about cultures, music and what she might have been. you see she loved to play piano but in her family becoming a musician in the year like 1 it was unheard of...she was so old her s.s.# was carved in stone and had only 3 #s...but i digress. edith macormack lived next to a friend of mine and i spent so many hours learning about this one VERY cool woman with a young spirit trapped in an old body. she never married and had no children (thought that i might be in the will) had her dreams and vodka in some moments shared a few sips with me! he thoughts were it didnt hurt me when i was your age, it certainly wont hurt you...sans the contractions. after all she was my english teacher. we would get a little loaded and she would wail pieces by joplin not janis but scott the original joplin and well before anyone else but me and my own knew it and prior to the sting she was amazing watching those bent arthritic fingers sail across those keys playing fats waller boogie woogie and count basies 1 note samba was a pure treat for me. she was zappa in many ways and as i learned from her i learned the similarities! she was...provocative! btw, it was the only thing in my school live that i received an A on. is that a sears poncho. https://youtube/watch?v=1MewcnFl_6Y
