The Acton Zappa Collective resurrected?

Due to a combination of factors, the other four members of Acton Zappa were not able to get to a booked rehearsal this Sunday leaving me and a substitute drummer with time in the studio to play through some of Frank's music. It was a lot of fun and reminded me of the original idea I had 3 years ago (from which Acton Zappa crystallised) of The Acton Zappa Collective. A loose collection of musicians with the common goal of enjoying playing Frank Zappa's music. If the loose collective materialises it will run in parallel with the more formal Acton Zappa with possible cross-fertilization. Any musicians interested in playing with the collective please leave a message in the comments. As I said in March 2014 "The primary aim is to have fun playing the music of Frank Zappa. If you already know some Zappa tunes - great. If not then enjoy learning them with us. Suggestions for favourite numbers to play always welcome. Charts available if needed. Occasional gigs aimed for."
