AN UPDATE FROM DWEEZIL ZAPPA

Hello Everyone, 

Happy NEW YEAR! Thank you very much for helping to keep my dad's musical legacy alive and supporting my homage to him. Can you believe it's been a 20-year journey? I started touring my dad's music back in 2006! This year, I'm going to celebrate 20 years of hard work by releasing as many LIVE CONCERT VIDEOS on my website as I can, from throughout my 20-year stretch of touring.

Right now, you can purchase the APOSTROPHE COLLECTOR'S CUT VIP Bundle.

CHATO SEGERER - SUS2'S ON THE LOOSE II

• Chato Segerer: Sus2’s On The Loose II
      (2025, download / streaming, --, bandcamp)

I'm rather familiar with Chato's (prog) rock and Zappa projects.
Even with his latest endeavors, which are being released on his "Never Odd Or Even" albums.

But I was completely blown away by 'Sus2's On The Loose II', a piece that gives a bit of a preview of what to expect on "Never Odd Or Even Vol. 2".

A beautiful composition with matching instrumentation.

Love it !
Check it out, and make sure to read Chato's comments on the piece over at Bandcamp.
