Sal Marquez was a member of [[The Mothers]] 'Wazoo', 'Hot Rats', and first 'Discreet' permutations.

In a '94 Musician Magazine article: In '72/'73, [[The Mothers]] were still 'starving', so  Sal went to Frank and requested a pay increase for the band; and if that weren't possible, per diem so they could eat a little better.  Sal Marquez: "Frank just blew up, told me he'd never worked that way and never would; 'and you can just turn in your music too'."  Sal claimed to have been very shocked by this reaction, and appeared like he was still dazed by it in the interview.
