Frank Zappa Martin Lickert's Story
Martin: I just went out to get some cigarettes for him
one day and came back and walked into the dressing room
and there's Frank and the rest of the Mothers and, uh,
Ringo, the other people, and I walked in the room and
they all went, 'Yeah!' And, 'Yeah what?' You know,
'Would, would you like to try Jeff's part?' You know, so
I just tried that, and it seemed to work okay
Interviewer: Mm-mmh . . . Martin: So Frank said, 'Would,
you can play, play bass, you can try play into the group
as well' FZ: So he took the script and he read it and it
sounded good and then just quite by accident, we found
out that he was a bass player and that he's good for the
part, is, uh, quite professional on screen and as a bass
player he's not astonishing but, uh, he can make the
parts
