A very young Frank Zappa on the Steve Allen show.

By Kenneth Rainey. Filed under: TweedBlog, video.

Here’s a very young Frank Zappa playing the bicycle on the Steve Allen show. Even then, Zappa described himself as a ‘composer’ rather than a ‘guitarist’ or ‘musician’. And the sounds he gets reveal an affinity for Musique Concrète, which he would explore further with works such as ‘The Chrome Plated Megaphone of Destiny’. Enjoy.

And… part two:

Thanks to Ed Burch for passing this along.
