DON PRESTON'S CONSTRUCTIONS

Here are a couple of pictures of constructions that were made by Don Preston. Don published these snapshots in his "Don's Store" corner in Facebook.
I think these are beautiful pieces of art & pasted them into Don's entry at the United Mutations Archives.

Don Preston says:
"This is the actual construction that I used a photo of for the CD Escape From 12/2012. The piece is 23 1/4"X 23 1/2" and weighs about 40 lbs."

Don Preston says:
"This is another construction. It is 28"X28" and weighs about 40 lbs. The piece was finished in 2008.
The Bush doll sings and dances."

Don Preston says:
"This is a smaller construction that measures 16"X81/2". It contains a circular light and weighs about 10 lbs."

In an attempt to give you your daily dose of Zappa-related info, I would like to tell you that Van Dyke Parks has a 'new' album out. It's a compilation of tracks that were produced by Van Dyke Parks in the late sixties / early seventies. Songs by Little Feat, Ry Cooder, Lowell George, and others...

Van Dyke Parks, as you might / should / could / do know, was part of The Mothers for a very short time. Pre-Freak Out, that is.

Audience recordings of both concerts turned up at Zappateers.

I was at the Amsterdam show, and it was quite good. A very fine concert hall with excellent sound. You might have noticed that the Amsterdam show did not include Zappa's 'The Perfect Stranger'. Wonder why. But, still quite a good concert.
Driving home after the concert, I made a quick stop in Rotterdam where I picked up two boxes with Zappa and related articles. A gift from Klotz. Great stuff. That'll keep me busy for hours and hours...

THE BUNK GARDNER STORY

a message from Zonic Entertainment

THE BUNK GARDNER STORY

The amazing audiobiography of the original Mothers Of Invention reed player BUNK GARDNER - joined by the hip to keyboard player DON PRESTON. A rare glimpse of the creation of the MOI, and a new perspective on this important chapter of the 20th century music.

THE BUNK GARDNER STORY is an audiobook of nearly three hours, including ringside comments by Don Preston, and bonus material by the Don And Bunk Show. Part one is now released, part two will be released in November. THE BUNK GARDNER STORY was recorded in ARTHUR BARROW’s lotek studio, LA, and produced by JON LARSEN for ZONIC ENTERTAINMENT.
