Young Zappa Blows The Bicycle

Zappaallenbicycle Here is another recent YouTube find, Frank Zappa's first TV appearance, on the Steve Allen Show in 1963. He shows how to play the bicycle, and jams with Steve Allen and his house band. See part one and two in high-definition streaming video, and read the recollections of Jerry Hopkins, the guy who booked Zappa for this show.

How about taking a look @ Zappa's private life anno 1971?
Dutch documentary maker end TV Pioneer Roelof Kiers did it with this wonderful documentary.
(Find it under the "video" header on the left side of the page and then find the "opslaan" button in the pop up window)

Heysoos, Sounds like Zappa!!! As a kid I remember seeing The Mothers on The Steve Allen Show doing "Hungry Freaks Daddy" complete with fingers strumming the Adams Apple.
Wow, what a great timepiece.
Thanks, DaveK

I love Frank Zappa, but I never cared for the bicycle.

This was very impressive. A little known fact is that Frank actually progressed remarkably. That's right! He went on to play the car on The Monkees TV show: http://www.coolhotlinks.com/mikeandfrank.html
