About this audiobook
I was barely a month into my freshman year at the University of Miami, working at the student radio station, WVUM 90.5 FM, when I found myself in the right place at the right time. Although you may soon think I was in the wrong place at the wrong time. The station manager, Bob "Bear" Mordente, was looking for someone willing to go out to the Royal Biscayne Hotel in Key Biscayne to interview musician and pop culture legend Frank Zappa. I said I'd do it if no one else volunteered.
