Baltimore, Cleveland, Cucamonga & Sun Village

No.240, aired December 4, 2013, a tribute to Frank Zappa (December 21, 1940 – December 4, 1993) on the 20th anniversary of his passing. The special thing here was I chose 3 or 4 Zappa CDs I wanted to play, chose the original side 2 of the Roxy & Elsewhere album (Tracks 4-6 on the CD) and two tracks from Does Humor Belong In Music? – and realized I had two of the rare songs Frank wrote about places where he had lived – What’s New In Baltimore and Village Of The Sun. In both cases, a subdued song about a place launches an extended instrumental adventure. I checked a third CD, Bongo Fury, for a short track to end the program with, and found Cucamonga, a third little song Zappa wrote about a little place where he had lived. Unfortunately, there wasn’t enough time to play the longer follow-up, Advance Romance.
