New page

Please add the following to the "Some bonus words of explanation" list...

* "[[TRFZB (The List)]]" refers to sort-of an "index" for [[The Real Frank Zappa Book]]
* "[[Them Or Us (The List)]]" refers to sort-of an "index" for [[Them Or Us (The Book)]]

		+	----
		+	Having re-read it, I don't think I made myself clear over in the [[Matt Groening]] discussion- where it started small but grew & shouldn't now be there. Anyway... Maybe my thinking is not on your radar, but I'll do my best to explain what I meant in that (currently un-responded) discussion in another way. Here goes:
		+
		+	I think it would help if the overall '''Bandmembers/Musicians/Supporting Cast''' hierarchy, (with each chunk containing intro texts) were something like the following, so as to help confused folk like myself;
		+
		+	'''Category:Bandmembers'''
		+	This category contains only '''bandmembers''' who have performed directly with FZ in his line-up on '''Tours & Concerts''' or '''Original Albums''', or who have provided their skills on his '''Original Albums''' by other means- such as overdubbing.
		+	(Note: For '''Musicians''' (or groups) who have NOT appeared in an FZ '''Original Album''' or line-up on his '''Tours or Concerts''', but whose sphere of inclusion shows connections with FZ through other instances such as '''Production''' by him, '''Guesting''' by him or '''Performances of his work in their own right'''., see [link '''Category Musicians''']).
		+
		+	(indent)'''Sub-category:By Instrument'''
		+	Drums, Vocals, Violin, Woodwind etc
		+
		+	'''Category:Musicians'''
		+	This category contains '''Musicians''' (or groups) who have NOT appeared in an FZ '''Original Album''' or line-up on his '''Tours or Concerts''', but whose sphere of inclusion shows connections with FZ through other instances such as '''Production''' by him, '''Guesting''' by him or '''Performances of his work in their own right'''.
		+	(Note: For musicians who have supported FZ's original work, rather than the reverse, see link '''Bandmembers''')
		+
		+	'''Category:Supporting Cast''' (Needs 'jiggling' in intro? Like following...)
		+	A list of people who contributed to FZ's ouvre in a '''Non-Musical Way'''. Whether they knew it or not. Whether they liked it or not.
		+
		+	(In some cases they may also be '''musically connected''' to FZ. So, you may find them in (link '''Bandmembers''' or link '''Musicians''') but that is immaterial here.
		+
		+	For articles to show up here etc, etc
		+
		+	I think this would help define what's expected of each category and helps someone editing to make a placement choice (or multiple choices) if inserting new material.
		+
		+	'''PS''': Also, I find the 'Boilerplate' hierarchy of links sequence pops up on the foot on some categories, not others and is it possible to keep it there as I go through the (next 200) scroll?
		+
		+	Should I shut up? A "Yes" is OK, I won't be offended.

+In my personal view, "bandmembers" are indeed a sub-category of "supporting cast"...<br>
-This category is unprotected, go ahead and add things if you want.
