I'm noticing non-musicians in the list


Carl Franzoni, Cal Schenkel, etc...

... so maybe we should name the main section "People" instead of "Musicians"?

--Kill Ugly Radio


Have not cross-checked this list yet.

Hi, Yes, I put the list up, but have yet to cross-check it; so it is likely that a non-musician or two "escaped" my eye. But then I thought, a lot of "non" musicians helped FZ with certain projects: like Pamela Zarubica, and La-LA Human Steps Dance Co. Do we include them? Eric Buxton "performed" with Zappa, but he's not a "musician" per se. See the problem? I left Cal & Carl's names up because I wasn't completely sure whether or not they "performed" with FZ. Does "frugging violently" count as a performance? SOFA

Have extended the "Musicians" tome

I've extended the main structure so that it incorporates not only musicians, but influences and "freaks" as well.

The main structure is now (see main page):

People >>

 >> musicians
 >> freaks
 >> influences

Lest we forget about Varèse, Bartok, Stravinski and the like...

-- KillUglyRadio

cross-check complete

Okay, I think I have the Musicians list down to just musicians. Any omissions, or trouble spots, plaese feel free... SOFA

Hold the phone!

Whilst double checking for related "people", I've stumbled across some 'minor' musicians that need to be added to the list. I am adding them - but, it's going to take a while... So, still much a work in progress.

"Musicians" vs "People"

Still cleaning up this list. But, since Carl Franzoni "appeared" on the Freak Out! release, I contend that his name is should stay on this list - at least, for cross reference purposes. SOFA

Where are you editing the "People" page?

Are you editing the list featured here in the discussion area, or are you editing the People article itself? As mentioned earlier: it's quite okay (advisable even) to edit the article itself instead of the list here in the comment area...

-- KUR

I'm editing the list in the discussion area, as I figured it was not nearly ready to be presented as a "page". I think editing it here in discussion, until we get some kind of agreement as how it is to appear (last names first? First names? Who gets included, etc.) once 'finished' is advisable; no?

SOFA

Second names first?

Guys!

The list seems to be sorted by the first name. Surely it should be on the second name if it is to be a useful/serious resource?

Is there a cut off point for musicians? Should it include people like Beck, Jeff :-) from the GTO's album etc. etc.?

Duncan


PS I am sorting it - give me an hour or two to get back to you!

Re-Sorted List

List resorted 15 March 2005 10:30 GMT

Probably still needs tidying up a bit. Is it supposed to be musicians only? If so you still have Herb Cohen, Tony Palmer, Theodore Bikel etc. etc. listed.

I confess most of these names mean nothing to me - look forward to finding out more about them :-)

The above list

I pasted in a long list but the wiki way seems to mess with the layout.

Off to work now so have left the list here...

http://www.duncanmoran.me.uk/zappa_list.txt

if you want it in some useful form.


Duncan

First vs last names

Hello Duncan, I see your point about the alphabetizing by last name; that's how you would look up someone in a "hardcopy" encyclopedia. But computers don't know first from last, they only know A - Z, which is why the list I posted (and have not yet finished) is set up by first name. I guess when I'm finished, if the consensus is to list by last name, okay whatever... And there are going to be names on the musician's list that don't appear to be "musicians". However, my criteria here is whether or not the people appeared on stage with FZ at some point, or whether they are credited as appearing, or being a part of, a recording: i.e. Herb Cohen is credited with playing "cash register" on 'America Drinks and Goes Home'; Theodore Bikel played "Rance Mohammitz" in '200 Motels'. So, tho hard to see at this point, there is a method to the madness. I should be finished refining this list in a couple of days, and will announce when it is done. You may want to wait to see what gets added and what gets taken out, unless you want to redo your list again and again - as I inadvertantly have had to do. I've only made it to the M's listing of last names; more to do! SOFA

Addendum

Also, I don't quite see how the listing by computer friendly first names makes the list I have been sweating over for the last 3 days any less "serious" or "useful"... We all might want to be considerate in our comments regarding the stuff we find in the wiki. After all, someone took the time to put whatever it is here, in whatever form. Maybe, if you don't "get it", it makes sense to someone else? SOFA

"Musicians" Added

I believe I have added everyone who has ever appeared with FZ on stage, or was credited with recording for FZ. I'd like to now go back over my list and remove any names that don't belong. Once that is done, the list can be transferred to the "article" page - in whatever alphabetical manner you want... Almost done, folks! SOFA

LMK when finished

Hi Sofa,

Let me know when you've got the list sorted out, and I'll add it to the article-page, including proper formatting.

Thanks!

(... and great work :-)

-- KUR


Resp

Sure thing. At this point, all musicians and or participants in live, or recorded, FZ performances have been added. Now I need to go over the list one last time to remove any hidden - overlooked - impropers left over from the original, unedited list. It shouldn't be long now...

-- SOFA

Okay the listing is complete.

05/03/15 2:15PM the listing by alphabetical first names is now complete. The criterea for inclusion: the person must have performed with FZ in a live setting, or have participated in a recording session with FZ (where Frank was other than producer, or contributor to an outside project). The Major Resource = United Mutations: Musician's Timeline and A - Z listing. This list may be posted as the Article page in whatever A - Z format pleases the admin. Each name should - and will - eventually have a page of explanation.

(Whew!)

== SOFA

complete?

Where is Dick Kunc listed? Can not find him under D or K.

I looked under K first because every computer I deal with would find him under K.

Duncan


Did you read the criteria for this list. Kunc will be filed under another heading. I'm not forgetting him, he just doesn't fit the criteria for this page...

and

...not count then?


Also... Ruth Komanoff Nelcy Walker

Duncan


Dick Kunc's contribution is duly noted (and added). Nelcy Walker is listed, and has been. Ruth too. (Tho' I have added her maiden name Komanoff to her married name Underwood - for those who may be clueless that she is one in the same...)

--SOFA

Now sorted by last name

Here's Sofa's list, sorted by last name (not yet separated per letter, sorry about that).

Please double-check this as the resorting was done by dropping the names in a mysql database (not manually).

I've also made the names in to wiki-links as you can see.

EDIT: I've moved the list to the article page, so we're not modifying on two pages at once.

-- KUR

Resp

I did that already! Seperated by letter too! I alphabetized my list according to last names, tho leaving the names in the proper 'reading" order. That's not good either? Oh shit. I guess I'm really clueless as to your designs... Which reminds me, I added the names into their respective "letters" in the people list. That's propbably going to have to change too, huh? I can see how to make the 'links' now. But maybe I should just stop and wait for instructions. I seem to be repeating a shitload of work.

--SOFA

Assumed I was working on the most recent version...

Sofa, I copy/pasted your list as put in the "Re-Sorted List" item on this very page, thinking that was the most recent version.

Now you've got me confused... Maybe I was looking at a cached version? Last discussion here about the list was about Kunc not being in it; upon which you stated that, okay, that too had been fixed. So I figured this list is ready to be resorted by last name.

We are obviously working in the same room

at the same time without knowledge of each other... I completely redid the list last night to reflect the preferred alphabetization by last name - tho' I kept the names in a "readable" condition with first names first. I then out up that corrected list, along with putting the resorted names into the main alphabet list. (check the recent changes page to see my activity) When I go to check my work, I see that you have put in yet another list - albeit linked, which I had yet to do. I was going to do that one at a time, so I could add the individual pages as I went.

But now I don't know what to do.

So I'm not going to do any more until I getter a better picture of what is desired,

-- SOFA

Goddamn browser cache

Pardon my french...

Just now I went to the article page -- still names listed by first name. Then did a browser refresh, and poof, there's the correct list ordered by last name. Sorry about that!

As for linking the individual names, that is extremely simple just add double brackets around the name like so: [[Ahmet Zappa]]. That will create a red link to a page where you can then start editing.

Resp

So which list do I work from, or do I not? I still don't have a clear understanding of the exact "structure" of this "list" we're trying to create. Do I continue with the list I've been working on?

Questions Questions Questions

-- SOFA

Let's use your list

Yeah, better off using yours.

One thing: shouldn't it be "Zappa, Ahmet", instead of "Ahmet Zappa"?

Also: correction on my above message. To link, use double SQUARE brackets.

Precisely my question

"One thing: shouldn't it be "Zappa, Ahmet", instead of "Ahmet Zappa"?" I personally prefer the names to appear as read (Ahmet Zappa over Zappa, Ahmet), but my personal preference has not guided me too well thus far...

The names' appearance is what I'm after; how do you want them?

-- SOFA

Let's go with 'Zappa Ahmet'

I asked myself: "What Would A Librarian Do?"

Answer: He'd go "Zappa Ahmet", not "Ahmet Zappa".

So I'd go with that.

In a similar vein, for album titles, where the first word is an article ("the", "a"), I would once again go the librarian way:

not "The Best Band You Never Heard In Your Life", but "Best Band You Never Heard In Your Life, The".

Deal? Our agreement on these conventions is crucial for the wiki...
