Review Quotes:
"Personally I'm a voracious reader of all Frank Zappa's interviews or conversations as I never fail to learn a lesson from his wisdom uncanny ability to cut through any B. S. deliver the truth, usually in the most humorous manner! Actually, I forgot that in 1977 I was in front of a Pulitzer Hotel elevator with Co de Kloet, who later was my Creative Catalyst during my Chamber Works orchestra project. I am glad that he documented this in his book Frank Co, which contains a lot more unique information about my friend and former employer Frank Zappa. I heartily recommend it to any Zappa fan and other connoisseurs of good music!"--Terry Bozzio, February 2022
"It is a fascinating book, one that shows the different sides to Zappa. At times it feels like you are eavesdropping."―Aaron Badgley, Spill Magazine
