The Dick Kunc Story - Frank Zappa

Title: The Dick Kunc Story

Dick:

I started out in Florida, uh producing a record at a studio, and I got friendly

with the engineer, and got interested in engineering.

Next thing I knew, I

was listening to an album called 'Freak Out!'

by the Mothers Of Invention.

I became very interested in their concept of music, their concept of, of uh,

society in general, and their concept of humor, which I thought was very

good, and uh enjoyed, because uh, they were saying a lot- whole lotta bunch

of stuff that I wanted to say and I agreed with and thought was true.

Then

one day I decided, 'I'll move to New York' because the air is clean, and the

people are friendly, and everybody’s in love.

So I went to New York, and I

got this job at this incredible twelve track studio.

Well, I didn’t know from

twelve track, I thought four track was really hot stuff.

So I went in there and

they said, 'here's the board.

Learn it.'

He go, 'Your first client’s coming in

in

five minutes.'

Well, my first client was Frank Zappa,
