A couple friends of mine posted this on facebook and I found it incredibly interesting. I’ve never really listened to Frank Zappa and had no idea his involvement in percussion. Now I’m very curious! I put it at the top of my Netflix movie list. However, if you are interested in buying the original DVD Aprostrophe Overnight Sensation; it is listed at Amazon. You can purchase it right here through this link:
