Dave Parlato

Dave Parlato was a member of The Mothers Wazoo incarnation - tho' did not appear on the recordings at that time. However, during the Petit tour, at one point (on a bus ride to the gig(?), Parlato noticed from the window at a stop a dog urinating in the snow; to which he responded "Don't eat the yellow snow!". According to Dave, "a few days later, Frank had turned it into a song". Dave Parlato provided bass for Zoot Allures, Studio Tan, Sleep Dirt, Orchestral Favorites, Tinseltown Rebellion, Läther, Frank Zappa Plays The Music Of Frank Zappa, and Quaudiophiliac.
