Upon hearing the news, and being from the Baltimore, MD area, the notion of dedicating a post to Frank Zappa felt like the right thing to do. This past December 21, 2009 Baltimore's (former) Mayor, Sheila Dixon, declared that Zappa's birthday (Dec. 21) would be a "Frank Zappa Day" in honor of the late rock musician and Baltimore born native son. Zappa employed a unique approach to rock music with the band The Mothers of Invention and the visual approach of his music's packaging and cover design was equally unusual. In acknowledgment of Frank Zappa's body of musical work, and being a hometown home boy, some of his group's album cover designs are featured below.
