NG: I’m sitting here talking to muso colleague Frank Zappa, a legend in his own lifetime and leader of the rock religious group, The Mothers of Invention. Mr. Zappa, how are you?

FZ: Right on, brother.

NG: Oh yes, and funky, that’s not a schtick, schmuck. Are the boys allowed to marry?

FZ: Yes.

NG: They are? Oh, that’s a very progressive sect.

FZ: Animals.

NG: Animals, eh? There allowed to marry animals?

FZ: Yes.

NG: Oh, How adult, how sophisticated! You went to Tasmania then, did you?

FZ: No, we didn’t go to Tasmania.

NG: You didn’t?

FZ: We had the opportunity but we turned it down.

NG: Did you? I’m thinking of playing Tasmania myself, doing a concert down there, what do you think of that?

FZ: I think it’s probably one of the greatest ideas you’ve had during this program.

NG: Yeah, yeah, it’s good to have another string to your knot, isn’t it? I actually already have one other string to my knot. (Pulls out his harmonica) Have you got a harmonica player in the band

FZ: Hey, not right now, no.

NG: You haven’t? Oh well, I...I mean I’m available. I don’t know...I used to play harmonica...

FZ: Are you really available? I mean, when we come down there will you jam with us or...

NG::(Excited) It’d be, you know...(pulls back) If I’ve got the time or something I will. I’m available here now, but when you come to Australia who knows, I’m a pretty big personality, you know.

FZ: That’s right, yeah.

NG: Ah, but the only thing is you might have to tone the music down a bit ‘cos I used to play electric harmonica but it gave my lips static. They picked up a lot of lint and I stopped. I only play acoustic harmonica now. Have you got a singer in the band, or have all the boys taken the vow of silence?

FZ: There’s quite a few singers in the band.

NG: Oh, I see.

FZ: There’s seven.

NG: They’re all good are they?

FZ: They’re all mediocre.

NG: Yeah, yeah, that’s why I think it’s...(points to his harmonica). Well you know, if you’d like to have a bit of a jam now. Oh, you don’t call it that over here, you call it a jelly.

FZ: What ever you like. How about the blues, you want to play the blues?

NG: You know Liza with a Z? You don’t? Well, whatever you think you know.

FZ: How about folk rock? You’re in what key?

NG: Folk rock? I love it, i love it. I love progressive music, Peter, Paul and Mary. It’s in E.

FZ: We’re not in tune but...

NG: (Looks at the camera) No, well he’s out of tune.

FZ: Take it away. (Norman starts to play the ABC TV Theme music then into a blues shuffle)

FZ: You’re no Bob Dylan.

NG: No, but that was a good bit, had a sort of rhythm to it, sounded very good, sounded very good Mr. Zappa. Well thank you very much, Mr. Zappa. It was extremely interesting. The boy’s got a promising career and when he comes down to Australia give him a break. Mr. Zappa
