He played on many Zappa albums.
RIP, George, and thanks for all the music.
Yeah, that was a shock! :sad:

He's talking about a sample package he did, but also talks some personal history and shows some gear (including a clavinet with a whammy bar!)
great stuff with Zappa..
RIP Mr Duke

Castlebar!
Here's one in action. Voodoo Chile and Black Dog sound kinda whack, but I like the Back in Black/War Pigs medley around 1:38 :)

I hope he fuses well wherever he is now.

There is a new release of Roxy and Elsewhere coming out with bonus material. The band were very tight by the time they recorded the Helsinki concert but I think the stuff from the Roxy grooves a little more. Hope George is having a great jam on the other side.

makes me realize how much I really miss those Haloween concerts at the Paladium every year....
That's one "hell" of a band up there... rip...
Well, I was looking for something else to share elsewhere, but I found this and thought you would enjoy it.
