Favoriting Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from September 3, 2021 Favoriting

Uncle Michael's avatar View Uncle Michael's profile Favoriting

Turning over the toy box and jamming together the gloriously mismatched musical Lincoln Logs, Legos and Tinker Toys from Tin Pan Alley pluggers, pickled egg tavern weepers, lockstep soul ensembles, skinny-tie power poppers, Eurotrash ravers, moontanned art school rockers, drunken soccer anthems and anything else that seems like a good idea at the time. There are no guilty pleasures.

I wonder if that's Jack Bruce wailing away on bass (he guests on Apostrophe) or if it's Frank on octave'd guitar.

Apostrophe was the first Zappa album I bought as a kid. I bought a hi-fi open reel deck from a garage sale and that album was on one of the tapes I'd bought. It blew my mind.
