To Dweezil, Frank was just "Frank," the dad he called by his first name, because that was his name.
To the rest of the pop culture and musical worlds, Frank Zappa was an overall mother of invention -- a giant, a genius, a classical composer, a rock guitar god, a record producer and a film director. Prostate cancer stopped his life in 1993, but not his music.
Like father like son, Dweezil rips across the strings with Frank's blazing speed and complexity, bringing his father's music to a new generation of listeners through his "Zappa Plays Zappa" tours, which began in 2006.
