"Peaches En Regalia," while not exactly my favorite Zappa song, is still probably the most original piece of music among those offered.

Zappa plays Zappa casts a glance towards the future of "Classic Rock" in which artists other than those who composed the music will perform the music of a specific artist as the program of the evening.

Kind of like...The London Symphony Orchestra playing the music of Mozart.

Only this is Zappa's kid...and some of the people from the original albums.

Loyal Gilmour fans!! :lol:

Of course I'd love to see the G win! That's a nice song imo but hey different tastes...

Zappa, as the others look pretty uninspiring.

So... did he win? Has this taken place now? Wasnt it yesterday and it is being broadcast tonight? Mmm..

He didn't win. T'was the Peaches En Regalia - Zappa Plays Zappa that got the gong.

Yup. Just checked it out.

Keith Jordan · **Posted:** Mon Feb 09, 2009 8:26 pm

Oh that is a shame. Is there a write-up about it somewhere? I couldnt seem to find one!

David Gilmour's castellorizon, why because I'm biased, I've never made it a secret that I'm a fan. Besides it was a good performance, I think a lot of people in the music community don't give him enough credit.
