I would also like to say that the commentary is great - taking certain compositions and expounding on them is a valuable and interesting idea. Video of performances too! Hooray.
I'm being more verbose than usual right now because at the outset of this year I'm posting tunes from the 2012 collection and starting with ones that were used and expanded upon over the course of my degree work, therefore, I often have more interesting info about them to share as well as a extra sound samples.
When I compose a work every day I don't always have very much of interest to say about it, so I leave the music to speak for itself.
It (today's song) really grows on (you) me. And in general, I love the stories which accompany these creations each day. My brother introduced me to Zappa, and I recall a video where he is showing a famous TV-Radio person a bicycle as a musical instrument. I suspect there might be humour.
What you recall was a young, preppy Frank Zappa on the Steve Allen show. Steve Allen was a comedian / pianist / composer and the first host of the Tonight Show. Here it is again! Enjoy:

I digress: Thank you.
