ZappaCast

Host Scott Parker and producer Phil Surkis are joined by multi-instrumentalist and vocal monster, Robert Martin. Martin was in every Zappa band from 1981 through 1988, and is still very involved in Frank's music as part of the "The Zappa Band".  Martin discusses his early career playing on classic Philly soul tracks, how he auditioned for Frank, and his thoughts on the often discussed '88 tour.
