SLSL Intro "A Bunch of Old Guys"

[Dave Monroe]

Okay, thanks.  I'd've been lucky even to have stumbled
across that, much less have found it, barring a
hard-target search of all things Zappa ...

But now that I know, an interesting sidenote ...

Ruben and the Jets - For Real (1973)

"This band came about when a vocalist named Ruben
Guevara asked Zappa for permission to use the name
'Ruben and the Jets' for a real-live doo-wop/50s rock
band. Frank couldn't resist, and ended up becoming the
producer for this album. He probably also had a hand
in getting Mothers band member Motorhead Sherwood into
the band, and recruited Jets slide guitarist Tony
Duran for some of his own projects."
