Frank Zappa.

Oh hell, I should come clean.

I was posting the "Miles and Coltrane" hint before I saw this post from 7/4.

It was Zappa. Here's where I found it.

OK, so 7/4 got the answer. ("Yeah 7/4!!!! :party::party::party: )

PS: The second I saw 7/4's "Zappa" post, I PM-ed him real quick to delete it. But it was up there to long to let this drag on that much longer, without somebody in the end saying -- "Hey, didn't somebody already say Zappa???"

I saw this before I saw the PM. Sorry.

I was trying to think of a famous rock musican who paints, thought of Beefheart, but he's not that famous. Then I remembered that my friends mother was a Special Ed. teacher and Frank was one of her students. She has one of his paintings. :D

I've never seen it.

George Duke.

Actually, George Duke wasn't who I was thinking of.

George Duke is a better answer than mine (a more 'obvious' one), but it wasn't the one I was thinking of.

So, Sangry -- you got both connections. (YEAH!!! :party::party::party: )

BUT, your NEW challenge is to find another connection between Frank and Miles.

Sting.

Yup, that's the one I was thinking of.

Thanks for playing, everybody.

Wish I had gotten that "Miles and Trane" hint in before 7/4 got the answer. I think that would have gotten people thinking about the jazz-side of things -- and would have kept people away from guessing Zappa as quickly.

Round of drinks for everyone!!!! :party:

Zappa didn't really do that many drugs, from everything I've read. He probably tried a number of things, perhaps a time or two each.

But other than chain-smoking, I think he was pretty straight.

Yeah, he probably drank, but probably not to excess. He was too much of a workaholic for drugs.

…again, from what I've read.

That was a lot of fun!

But guessing Zappa quickly? It isn't exactly common knowledge that he painted at some point.

Certainly not common knowledge, that's for sure. I never knew he painted until I stumbled on the page.

But I was sure I could yank all you guys along for another day or so, if I had gotten that Miles and Trane hint in earlier.

To your GREAT credit, 7/4, you got it NOT by random guessing, but by having some personal knowledge of the artist in question. (And some personal connection to his obscure artwork too!!!)

BRAVO!!!!! :tup:tup:tup
