And there was cake

Zappadan Zappajam went really well last Friday. Each band did a short set on their own then there was general mixing and matching including a dozen guest players with an audience of around 50. It all ended with a mass rendition of Muffin Man with almost everyone playing, singing and dancing. Overall a fantastic night. It almost felt like the Acton Zappa Collective had come into being.

Busy preparing for Zappadan Zappajam this Friday

by Jo Jo Gabor

Rehearsed with Acton Zappa on Saturday. Tonight I'm going to Jazz Mondays rehearsal and tomorrow Tuesday Blue. Then rehearsing some guests on Wednesday. Thursday I'm going to the launch of All City Queens, a book featuring the work of female graff writers and then it's all go for the party on Friday! Guest performers now total a dozen including Jo Jo Gabor, the Burns brothers from Gumbo Variations and Andrew the Idiot Bastard himself threatening to murder a bass guitar. My wonderful wife Lynne is slaving away on decor for the party. This is going to be a wonderful Zappa event - don't miss it.
