Dick Kunc

Dick Kunc and Frank Zappa (behind the table), with Pauline Butcher in the background.

Dick Kunc was a recording engineer who had just started working at the Apostolic Studios when Zappa started recording there.

"I was working with Dick Kunc, the recording engineer on Uncle Meat and Cruising with Ruben & the Jets. To make remote recordings in those days, Dick had a Shure eight-channel mixer remounted in a briefcase. He could sit in a corner at a live gig with earphones on and adjust the levels, and have the outputs of the briefcase mixer feeding a Uher portable tape recorder."
