Is he also a music critic? Just last week, a friend gave me a copy of a
1990 review of our 2nd album (band: White Glove Test, Album: Leap.) The
quite favorable review was written for a San Diego weekly, THE READER. My
friend mentioned the writer used to play guitar with Zappa. Being the guy
who pretended to play guitar in the band, I was obviously flattered reading
the review (albeit 14 years after it was written.)
