Thanks for your analysis. Very informative and insightful. I always thought this was one of Franks more complex, musically sophisticated pieces for a small ensemble. It's very catchy is in way only Zappa can pull off. Been listening to Zappa from 1969.
@@jeff8ball Well, I realize that people's tastes in music are subjective, but I went back and tried to listen to "Camel" again and "catchy" is not a word that comes to mind. Do you find yourself humming parts of this as you go through your day or what?
@@c.a.t.732 I've been listening to Zappa for 50 years, listened to this piece a hundred times, and I find myself playing this and all sorts of Franks music in my mind. Your absolutely right, people's taste in music is subjective and this piece may not be appealing to everyone.
@@jeff8ball I guess whether or not it's "appealing" isn't the question in my mind... that, as I think we agree, is subjective. It's more that when I think of the word "catchy" I think of a piece of music with a strong "hook" that sticks in the listener's mind. But I suppose the meaning of "catchy" can be subjective too!
If I was listening to this today and didn’t know who wrote it or when I’d file it as “modern jazz fusion”. So what’s remarkable is that this was written in 1969 when there really wasn’t ANY jazz fusion at all yet! This song is ahead of its time by 30 years or so, but no one will likely point that out as it’s like “Oh yeah, that’s just Zappa” meaning it can’t be labeled. His music is just one of a kind.
One of my favorite Zappa pieces, I first Zappa's music in 1970 and it inspired me to study and write music. I love the music he did from 1967 thru 1969 the most. He likes using quartal and quintal harmony to great affect, I love that stuff. The score is available online from places like musescore.
Just had a brain tumor removed from my frontal lobe 5 days ago. Then I went to this weird book store today and came across The Frontal Lobe Supercharge. Idk if this was meant to be as part of my second chance at life, or if I’m about to be studying a cult.
Julia is a GREAT painter- so original and free! And Fred is my favorite acoustic guitarist ever, sheer genius- I'm SO lucky to be able to work with these people, and count them as among my best of friends (besides being married to Julia of course)
(This video has the improved audio portion) Please enjoy these 5" X 7" miniature oil and watercolor paitings :-) For more into or to obtain one, contact julia@juliapainting.com- just mention the time it shows. Thanks!
I love how Lola sounds so much like the Japanese girl groups and singers I like-the song being Japanese, so I shouldn't be too surprised. But her innocent, sweet voice fits right in with those groups and singers. And such a good sport to participate in all these silly movies that go along with each song. I just finished watching "I like to eat" or something like that. Same comments as above for that one, as well. What fun.
Musical taste is a very individual thing- but I hope you give it all a chance, you may find yourself liking things that at first may seem foreign- thanks for your comment- Neil 😊
Hello Neil. This is very very cool to see. I am the grandson of richard. My name is Anthony. It is really neat to see part of his legacy that I never knew. He was a very brilliant man and musically one of my greatest inspirations. Thank you for sharing this video.
Your grandfather was a great man and I learned a lot from him, not only just how to make pads! Great to hear from you. Do you know what happened to hi Caravell sports car?
Much of the music on my channel features Fred's exceptional guitar, piano playing, and more; Our albums together can be found at www.NeilSladeMusic.com, available as Audiophile downloads and CDs.
Art Bell from 5/18/1999 on YT brought me here! It was a rerun I had never known about AB before he passed away ( happened to be on my moms birthday )4/13 RIP to both of those souls. This is interesting and I’m definitely going to give this attention. Thank you Neil Slade
Thanks so much! I've put Cool Whip on several of my albums, each version differently- Its on Invisible Music, Mind Music, and this one. See www.NeilSladeMusic.com I wrote it when I was about 20 years old on an upright piano built in 1895 (still have it). 😀
Please enjoy, share, and leave a comment. Available in AUDIOPHILE quality from www.NeilSladeMusic.com as well as physical CD. Purchases include an Alternate mix version as well. :-) All details and personnel in info box above.😊
A couple of pads did come loose with the spray adhesive, but I refixed them in place with a hot glue gun, which I would recommend over the spray at this time. Otherwise, no problems with the repad job. Be prepared to spend a fair amount of time adjusting the keys to eliminate all leaks using a leak light.
.. Hey Neil, although I became aware of you and what you teach back when you first came up on Coast To Coast AM, I been a fan since then but it's only recently that I came across your RU-vid channel and I'm happy to have found it .. This selection of music is wonderful either to listen to intently or for background music while I work .. Appreciate what you do and teach, unfortunately although I've tried at different times throughout the years I still haven't been able to "clicked" my amygdala "forward" yet, at least not that I consciously know of, I believe I'm either being inconsistent or are not visualizing the "click forward" correctly. Regardless, I'm a fan since back in the day and just wanted to say "Hi" and "thanks" .. Keep on Rockin' .. Or Jazzin', how ever you classify your music! ...
JX- thanks for your note, especially about the music. The mere fact that you wrote such a positive note indicates that you can and are indeed clicking forward. It's just a matter of recognizing it. When you have positive emotions, your amygdala is clicked forward. Tickling your amygdala means that you can consciously do this at will- using whatever method works best for you, and the methods to do so are unlimited. I give examples in Tickle Your Amygdala and Frontal Lobes Supercharge books, as well as my other books. Just review those, or visit the main web site for clarification- www.BrainRadar.com :-)
Just got your Parkinson's article and link to "Treehouse". I'm glad you're making progress. Thanks for the link to the Parkinson's page. Good music. Thanks. Crazy (as usual) video. You're still having fun being loony (and having the necessary skills to make your fun visual). I'm glad you started sending me stuff again. Because if I don't hear from you, I forget about you. (The same with everyone and everything else. It just is. A lifelong problem.) I've never had any luck tickling the amygdala. I don't know if brain damage in the basal ganglia has affected the amygdalas in any way.
Thanks Cris- you probably are tickling your amygdala- just haven't recognized it yet. Writing your comment certainly required an amygdala click forward! :-)
@@neilslade Hmmm. If that's the case, then I guess that all the hoopla about tickling one's amygdala isn't all it's cracked up to me, from everything I've read about it. I guess I need to find your book and read it again.
The Tru-Seal pads are superior to traditional leather pads for a variety of reasons as explained in the video. They are also affordable at about $75 for a full set to re-pad an alto saxophone. They are durable, waterproof, heatproof, and have a firm feel like traditional pads.
