Well, I haven't been doing that much work with other people per se. I started doing more of that.

Somebody under 30, if the name Frank Zappa came up, they would just say, "Who?" To me that didn't sit well, because I felt my dad's accomplishments in music should be better known, not just in a popular way, but better understood.

I don't care about a social life.

The music that is played on the radio all the time or written about in magazines has nothing to do with musicianship.

I feel that through my father's music I've found my own voice in my own playing.

I was given all of my dad's guitars when he passed, and they were being stored at the house. My mother decided they were hers again, and she took them all back, and now they're going up for auction.

But the reality is when you write a song, you should be able to strip away all the instruments and just have a song right there with an acoustic guitar and a voice, and the song should be good.
