In case my original post was a ambiguous - I love that piece of music. FZ is one of my all time favourite musicians.

Not a major fan but I had the 'hot rats' LP (god I feel old saying LP) when I was a kid.

Hot Rats was a fun album. My favourite track is The Gumbo Variations. The electric violin solo by Sugarcane Harris is one of the filthiest things I've ever heard.

Pink Napkins is an all time classic track too (albeit from a different and much later album).
I have nothing against God. It's his fan club I can't stand.

Yeah - his dad moved around a lot. In his teens it was San Berdino/Sun Valley and out on the edge of the California desert.

I know this as I am a fanboi. :oops:

Reminds me a little of King Crimson,* and a little (though not quite so much) of Emerson Lake & Palmer Maybe cuz it's jazzy :ask:
People think "queue" is just "q" followed by 4 silent letters.

But those letters are not silent.

They're just waiting their turn.
