2462.0. "ARTHUR BARROW" by BRUMMY::LAWTON (Well, stab a dog and call me Eric..) Tue Mar 03 1992 15:23

    Whatever happened to Arthur Barrow? The last I heard of him was on the
    first track of "Ship Arriving Too Late Too Save A Drowning Witch" and
    then nothing. Does Zappa execute his old band members so that no-one
    else can use them in the future?
    
    Art Barrow was, IMHO, one of the best, if not THE best, bass players
    that FZ ever used (used being the operative word here). Check out "Tink
    Walks Amok" from "Man From Utopia" or most things from "Joe's Garage".
    
    Well? Is the man dead, resting or what?

	Zappa sidemen have a habit of disappearing. Dunno where Barrow is, or his predecessors Roy Estrada, Jim Pons, Jeff Simmons, Erroneous or Martin Lickert either. Former percussionist Art Tripp who also did time with Beefheart is now an insurance and real estate agent! So much for supporting yourself through art 8^) 8^) Brian

	I understand that Zappa eats his sidemen. :]
2462.3	I want to see FZ eat ALL of Ike Willis....;-)	BRUMMY::LAWTON	My freedom is your paralysis, Jim	`Fri Mar 06 1992 03:39`	12
	Re Zappa's sidemen. I know that one of his band members (I think it was Denny Wally) was the stage producer on Bowie's last tour and released a single called "Pretty Pink Rose", penned by him and Bowie, but which sounded suspiciously like "Heroes". I think FZ ate him after this. \|-) Phil

	That the same Pretty pink rose that Adrian Belew did on his last album (young lions I think)? Nice song.. dbii
