About Frank's T-shirt mystery

From: gworsham@ix.netcom.com (Gary Worsham ) writes:   Ok, pony up: I'm pretty sure that in one of the late great issues of Society Pages, this was discussed. It appears to be an industrial baseball team T-shirt that FZ picked up somewhere. And it would seem that it was pronounced pipe-co.

From: demery@natlab.research.philips.com (David Demery)   I've read that FZ interview too, so I'm with you on this, Gary. From Society Pages (US Edition) Issue No. 7, Page 20

Den Simms: Ok. What was "Pipco"?

Frank Zappa: Pipco ... it baffled me for a long time. Turns out to be a little league shirt from Santa Barbara, a Santa Barbara pipe company, I believe.

DS (laughs): So, maybe it was [pronounced] "Pipe-Co".

FZ: Yeah.

From: Vladimir Sovetov <sova@kpbank.ru>   That same t-shirt can be seen also on the front cover of WOIIFTM CD and on 1966 MOI concert photo ( check D.Walley No Commercial Potential book pp.78-79 )
