Sandy Schwanekamp
Sandy Schwanekamp (???? - 2017) was a girlfriend of Zappa.
"Frank had a blonde girlfriend named Sandy, at the time, and Dad didn't like her. That was clear, with no imagination necessary. I never could tell the reason. Probably just an Italian father thing. When Sandy came over, she and Frank would disappear into his bedroom."[1]
"I knew your dad... at Antelope Valley School in Lancaster. I was best friends with Sandy Schwanekamp, his girlfriend at the time, & I was dating Terry Wimberley."[2]
Schwanekamp moved to Minnesota, in 1959 she graduated from Saint Paul Central High School:
"Sandy Schwanekamp was one of Frank's earliest girl friends in Lancaster and I seem to recall that her parents didn't like Frank and that at some point they either moved or took her out of AVJUHS and put her into private school." [3]
Zappa mentioned Sandy Schwanekamp in the sleeve of Freak Out! (1966), under the heading: "These People Have Contributed Materially In Many Ways To Make Our Music What It Is. Please Do Not Hold It Against Them".
