The Black Page (version No. 2) from You Can't Do That On Stage Anymore. This is a sort of a ska version and Chad Wackerman just tears it up along with Steve Vai on guitar and I think Scott Thunes on bass. Early 80's like 1981. This is really the best version of Black page and I've heard close to 5 different ones.

Inca Roads still a smokin' tune to listen to so, so many years later. Ruth Underwood on xylophone is incredible on this with runs that will blow your mind.
Village of the Sun - nice and easy in a laid back smooth funk feel. The guitar chords are so sweet on this tune that you can actually visualize the California sunshine.

Brown Shoes Don't Make It is just such a concentration of themes displaying Zappa's absolute versatility.

Also, Little House I Used To Live In - a dazzling avant garde/classical/rock composition.

LOL
 
Perhaps I shouldn't point this out, but if you self-censor a word like b*****d, by putting in only one asterisk in place of one of the letters, the censoring program will not recognize it as one of its targetted words for modification, and you can come much closer to actually writing the full word, like so:
b*stard
 
 
Geek Also, context is important:
 

ffiling.JPG %2817564 bytes%29

This image shows the proper way to hold a 10" mill b*stard file while draw-filing the surfaces of the steel bars. You will need a protective wrapping on your thumbs to avoid serious blisters from where the skin contacts the edge of the file (an even better idea, that was shared with me by Donald Yelton, would be to epoxy the file to a strip of hardwood.  This would make it more comfortable to hold, and enable you to apply more force to the file).   Keeping your hands near the center of the file may help you to keep it from canting to one side or the other. In this image you can see the light areas on the surface of the bars where the file is making contact. The darker areas are places where the file is not yet removing material from the bars.
 
Shocked A "b*stard file"?
 
I thought that was where Tony R kept track of the posts of wiseacres like myself....Wink
