Martin Lickert's Story
Frank Zappa
I just went out to get some cigarettes for
Him one day and came back and walked
Into the dressing room and
There's Frank and the
Rest of the Mothers and, uh, Ringo, the
Other people, and I walked in the room
And they all went, "yeah!" And
"yeah what?" You know, "Would
Would you like to try Jeff's part?"
You know, so I just tried that
And it seemed to work okay
Interviewer: Mm mmh
So Frank said, "Would, you
Can play, play bass
You can try play into the group as well"
So he took the script and he read it and
It sounded good and then
Just quite by accident
We found out that he was a
Bass player and that he's good
For the part, is, uh, quite professional
On screen and as a bass player
He's not astonishing but, uh
He can make the parts
