The band clearly liked it and, after their initial surprise,               Have you ever seen ZPZ with the Dweez?? His band has come to my town a few       times in the past 5 years but I never went due to lack of funds. The first       time he was here the reviews really slammed him. I guess he made a lot of fun       of Davis Lee Roth (who        has been out of the limelight of 25+ years) & none of the reviewers could       understand as to why. They also did not like his "selection" of FZ tunes.        Perhaps because he did not play any of Frank's "Hits" (with a bullet)! The       other times there were no        reviews because the local paper has let go all its' reporters & is hanging on       by a thread! I still get it out of force of habit & to keep the old man who       delivers it employed.              The Old Geezer              ND: Southern Tier 2X IPA       NP: Little Town Flirt - Del Shannon              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
