Transcript

I better start talking about my family first, I guess. There's quite a group of them. Can you hear me out there? You're not missing anything. Luckily, I can't hear it either. Well, I had a family, I had Harpo, played the harp, that was pretty obvious.

And Chico was what they used to call a chicken chaser. And in England now, they call them birds, which is the equivalent of a chicken chaser in America 50 years ago. He did very well with that too.

His zappa was born when the zappa and arrived in Lakehouse, New Jersey. He had nothing to do with the arrival. My other brother, Gama, it's not his real name. His real name was Milton. It seemed like it's his silly name.

And we used to call him gumshoes, because somebody had given him a pair of robbers in a nice way, I mean. And that's his name, Gomomox. My name, of course, I never did understand.
