And introducing...singer, song-writer, composer, multi-instrumentalist, bandleader, and all around legend, it’s Mr. Frank Zappa! One of the S-tier weirdos of rock n’ roll, Zappa mixed genres from classical modernism to doo-wop with an acerbic sense of humor to create a vast discography of Rock weirdness. All the while, becoming one of the most outspoken musicians for free-speech and against censorship.  And today we’ll be talking all about his life, his works, and whether or not that’s a real poncho, I mean is that a mexican poncho or a sears poncho, through his autobiography “The Real Frank Zappa Book.”

But first let’s introduce our own guest, she’s a Tornoto-based pianist and composer, it’s Robin Hatch!
