Frank Zappa "Watermelon in Easter Hay"



Here is Frank Zappa, always an outspoken guy who was also a great musician. Tragically, he died when quite young ( just 53 ) from prostate cancer. To be honest I'm not over familiar with his music and when I hear most of it it comes across as pretty way out - perhaps an acquired taste! But I do love this. There are many versions of it and the actual album track is longer - and which also contains what are termed "explicit lyrics". But here, live, shorter, just the music. I love it. Thanks Frank.
