(aired March 3, 1963)
This televisual gem inspired me follow along which got me into endless trouble at family picnics and barbecues for playing my own symphonic masterpieces which, for some strange reason, nobody else seemed to enjoy. I extended Frank's genius to my exploration of the vacuum cleaner, ping pong balls and paddles, hammers on concrete and other objects, wrenches, wooden boards like 2x4's, and my personal favourite - the bars and other parts of cages pens and stalls in my father\s veterinary clinic as well as at the Calgary Zoo where he worked. I had a captive audience, but they all seemed to really enjoy my musical efforts at breaking up the monotony of their captivity and hospital recovery. The next time you're out in a forest I challenge you to explore the musical nature of nature for yourself. Trees make great drums and often ring with higher tones - not to mention the musical benefits of rocks and stones.
I miss Frank.

Frank at 23, already an established pioneer of the avant-garde.

Weird seeing him dressed so straight-laced and clean.

The fact that they let this breathe for sixteen minutes is something we just wouldn't do now.

My favorite FZ story was him on a little TV talk show hosted by Joe Pine. Pine was a veteran who lost a leg in WWII. He was known to be acerbic towards his guests from time to time to time to get a rise out of them. His prior career was as a pioneer radio âshock jockâ.
By the time he went on Joe Pineâs show (â65, I think) he had long hair. As soon as he walked out on stage, Pine said âLong hair. I guess that makes you a girlâ. Zappa came right back with âWooden leg. I guess that makes you a table.â

Being a musician means realising that everything in existence is a musical Instrument.

I think this young man may have a promising future in music.

The amount of control that Zappa has over this whole presentation is mind-boggling.

Frank Zappa was absolutely positively serious. This is genius because he refused to treat this as a joke. No tounge in cheek like Steve Allen was suggesting but trying to make an authentic statement. Finally towards the end Allen started to get it really started trying. This was revolutionary even today

I watched this on TV in '63. I told my friends about it when we saw Zappa at Stonybrook (I think in '73), and was mercilessly ridiculed for making it up. So thanks.

The only time I've ever seen Zappa laugh in public

It seems that Steve Allen began to realize in this short segment how much he liked Frank Zappa and possibly how much they had in common.

Frank showing early that 1. Humour does belong in music and 2. He could get people to get out of their comfort zone. 3. He was steadfast in his approach trying new things. Brave guy.

I died when the house band kept pranking Steve trying to blow through the handlebars. Such improvisation on a live show is extremely rare.

I love the way Frank carried himself for his interviews. So polite in the hot seat.

So strange seeing Frank so young and in black and white. Even stranger to realize that Steve Allen outlived him by seven years.

Kudos to Steve Allen for being open minded

I fucking LOVE this. The irony on display is wonderful - Allen and the audience are apparently lampooning Frank - who I have to say comes across at times as almost 'sweet' which is a word I would never ever ever ever attach to Frank hence forth - what is so lovely to see is the utter control Frank has over the entire performance - it's almost shadowing his entire future to come. He smiles, chuckles, almost obediant at times yet he makes it absolutely crytstal clear how serious he takes this whole 'thing'. I loved it when he reeled off the instruments he'd composed for. It's what I admire so so much about Frank Zappa - he is so genuine and has never deviated from his utter love and dedication to music simultaneously taking the piss out of the people that 'think' they are in control. Bloody marvellous

Steve Allen was hip. Paul Krassner wrote that Allen became the first subscriber to Krassnerâs magazine, The Realist, in l958, and sent in several gift subscriptions, including one for Lenny Bruce. Here Allen gives Zappa, an unknown, fifteen whole minutes on his show. He must have liked him.

Brilliant. Undoubtedly the best 15 min of Television in 1963.

It's a rare treat to see a bicycle player doing an interview - they usually send a spokesperson.
