Man, you know that!  Seen GM  3 times now, and never been less than
blown away...

It started as a side project, but Warren and Woody are now full-time
with GM.  They were replaced by Jack Pearson and the amazing Otiel
Burbridge on gtr and bass respectively.  Have yet to hear the current
ABB lineup, but I'm told they're excellent.  I saw Otiel live once
with Aquarium Rescue Unit, and he's maybe the best there is.  Also an
incredible gtr player in ARU: Jimmy Herring.  Jimmy's kind of a cross
between John McLaughlin and Jeff Beck!  Absolutely amazing.  I think
all you Zappa fans would really dig ARU...
