american-musician arthur austin good met mothers moved wife
I had met Arthur in the 60's when I was with the Mothers and had become good friends. He had moved to Austin because his wife was from there.
mother book might
I don't know how Frank presented the old Mothers, since I never read the book. There might be some opinions on what he said, but I - or anyone else - could not make any corrections to anything Frank did.
mother thinking stuff
I think a lot of the Mothers stuff that we recorded was written while we were on the road.
mother song thinking
We are not a Zappa cover band. We only play Frank's songs that were recorded by the Mothers of Invention and I think a lot of those songs were complex.
mother thinking long
I think that the old Mothers started that trend of rehearsing long hours. We went as long as the later bands did except we didn't get paid for it like they did.
mother rocks people
I'm doing it with a rock format and the words are about people living in harmony with Mother Earth. It's very important to me - and I feel it should be for every living human on this planet.
inspiring mothers-day broke
We never got anything out of the recordings. I'm still as broke as I was when I was with the Mothers.

I've been writing Indian music for a while. Indian music is about Mother Earth, and mine is no exception.
american-musician might miss sweet wife
I think he might miss everything he used to do but I don't know that for a fact. His wife is probably the only one that does. A sweet lady.
admired american-musician best close maybe people since sound true voices
I think he had one of the best voices I have ever heard. People say that I come close to his sound - and maybe it's true since I admired it so much.
american-musician frank friendship learned
I would have told him that I appreciated his friendship through the years and that I had learned a lot from him. I really loved Frank like you do a brother.
american-musician fans gotten recordings younger
There are many old fans that come to see me play and a lot of his younger fans that have gotten into the old recordings of the M.O.I.
blank fifteen full guy paper pieces plus records shows sign wants wonder
When some guy shows up with a shopping bag full of records and CD's and wants me to sign every one plus fifteen pieces of blank paper I wonder what the hell is he doing with all of that?
absolutely american-musician argue experts frank saying true
It's the so called EXPERTS that say things to me that we did, or Frank did, that are absolutely not true and they will argue with me saying that I'm wrong.
