photo of Dweezil Zappa used for the Father's Day Bundle 2025 release. Dweezil said: Happy Father's Day to everyone out there! I have compiled a wonderful trio of songs for you as a special treat to celebrate the bond between fathers and their children. Over the years I have played all three of my dad's signature guitar songs as a way to keep my relationship alive with my dad. In this Trifecta collection, I have shared with you some of my best renditions both musically and from a sound recreation standpoint. Please enjoy! 1. Zoot Allures - Germany 2017 2. Black Napkins - Chicago 2008 3. Watermelon In Easter Hay - Atlanta 2017

1979 - Joe's Garage Acts I, II & III
album cover for Frank Zappa's "Joe's Garage" a three-part rock opera released by American musician Frank Zappa in September and November 1979. Originally released as two separate albums on Zappa Records, the project was later remastered and reissued as a triple album box set, Joe's Garage, Acts I, II & III, in 1987. The story is told by a character identified as the "Central Scrutinizer" narrating the story of Joe, an average adolescent male, from Canoga Park, Los Angeles, who forms a garage rock band, has unsatisfying relationships with women, gives all of his money to a government-assisted and insincere religion, explores sexual activities with appliances, and is imprisoned. After being released from prison into a dystopian society in which music itself has been criminalized, he lapses into insanity.
