>For those of you not familiar with this tune, it is available on several
>Zappa albums, it originally appeared on One Size Fits All.  Featured
>musicians were Frank of course, George Duke, Napoleon Murphy Brock,
>Chester Thomas, Tom Fowler, and Ruth Underwood.  IMHO the _best_ version

>So what do people think?  Did I really fuck up or is this pretty cool?
