238 Frank Zappa: 30th Anniversary show – some instrumentals.

Marking the thirtieth anniversary of Frank Zappa’s death, Hugh put together a show of Zappa instrumental tracks, mostly from the post-Mothers period.  Zappa’s jazz side was on full display.  Peaking at 20 listeners, a respectable number for a late year show.
