   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.
