+3 # Mavis Thomson Sheare 2011-03-16 04:48 What a party at "Don't Eat the Yellow Snow"! A big thanks to the Central Scrutinizer for providing fun entertainment. A huge THANKS to John McPherson for being the Main Instigator behind this show. The arrangements were mind-boggling to this music appreciator.

Long live the mad genius of Frank Zappa. An incredible musical experience, a whole lotta fun, too. 'Twas wonderful to see all of the whacky outfits on our talented ESO members (saw the lipstick kiss on the cheek of the violinist in the lime-green jeans - way cute!) along with their choice of toy/appliance.

A memorable experience. Thank you thank you thank you for showing off your truly silly side of such seriously complex music. This is an accomplishment that all participants need to be proud of; you all truly shone in your abilities.

Do it again if you can and I'll be there again.
