Date: Tue, 23 Mar 1999 12:25:41 -0800 Thana info about the book: ATTENTION FRANK ZAPPA AND STEVE VAI FANS AND COLLECTORS! "Suzannah (Thana) Harris, former vocalist for Frank Zappa and Steve Vai, has written a new book about her life experiences with the late Frank Zappa genius: Read her first-hand, personal account of how Thana, a virtually unknown vocalist, met, worked with and learned from Frank Zappa, Steve Vai, and also married one of Zappa's band members, Bob Harris! This intriguing story will introduce you to the lady who accomplished what former vocalists could not: the vocal performances on the Frank Zappa recording of "Sleepdirt". Read about her work with Steve Vai, her work and romance with Bob Harris, and finally, life with Steve Vai, Bob Harris, and a number of artists who lived together at the infamous "Wayward Inn", Steve Vai's house in Sylmar, California." "UNDER THE SAME MOON": Read about this never before released story which is also Thana Harris' debut as a literary writer. You will love her honesty, her humor, her passion for life.

Web site for Mastahna Music/Publishing soon to come! Thanna's style is simple, warm and sincere. I love her unambitious attitude. Here is an example (the very end of Ch.4) "Flambay. The song was over. Frank listened and I knoew he like it, and it became the keeper. I felt free and pretty damn high on the whole thing, and I wasn't afraid to tackle the rest of those songs that ended up on the vocal verson of 'Sleepdirt' (there's an instrumental version as well). Golly-bob, I was so naive, I didn't even know what a lot of those lyrics were really saying, but I knew enough to be in the character zone. You know, Huncentoot --- it was ages before meaning of that dawned on me one day. Oh well... Spider Of Destiny --- oh what tangled web we weave, etc.... and Time is Money, don't ask me, I never quite figured that out. I've had questions as to what was the ultimate original plan for all those songs, like a musical or something. Brothers and sisters, I don't know." I really recommend the book to FZ audience. Definitely it's a must for Steve Vai fanatics. |
