He has served his country since, and more actively, as assistant general counsel to the Far East mission of AID and deputy director of AID's Colombian mission. In both areas, he channeled funds...
...disregards industry and public pressure to record million-selling albums. "Be-Bop Tango" is among the best cuts on the new record because it typifies Zappa music and Zappa humor. If you listen carefully to George Duke's scat singing, you hear strains of Thelonius Monk's "Straight No Chaser" and a Zappa remark about 4/4 time: "It's a pedestrian beat. You don't dance...
