The Mothers of Connection is a music show. I connect artists, genres and theme through the life, times and work of the genius, Frank Zappa. We have themes, interviews with well known Zappa tribute artists (Andre Cholmondeley, Ed Palermo) and original members (Robert Martin) and spokespeople from companies like Reverb.com and Sabian.

    Traveling internationally over the past few weeks, I kept hearing songs I recognized, just not in English. In Episode 249, In Other Words, we explored familiar songs reimagined in German, French, Spanish, Czech, Portuguese, and more from European bands to artists like Peter Gabriel, Sting and David Bowie, who recorded their own music in other languages. Music transcends words and has no borders. #musicisthebest
