Sleep Dirt is an acoustic guitar duet featuring
Frank Zappa
Frank Vincent Zappa (December 21, 1940 – December 4, 1993) was an American guitarist, composer, and bandleader. In a career spanning more than 30 years, Zappa composed Rock music, rock, Pop music, pop, jazz, jazz fusion, orchestra ...
and James Youman on Zappa's album ''
Sleep Dirt''.
The song's tone is described as intimate as Frank Zappa's sliding left hand gives it a special flavor. Zappa played a fast paced solo, while Youman played the accompaniment.
[Page 348; Frank Zappa: "The Negative Dialectics of Poodle Play" by Ben Watson, ''St. Martin's Griffin, New York'', 1995] The track has some of the dreamy intensity of half-conscious perception as Youman falters at the end and Zappa asks, "you getting tired?"; "no, my fingers got stuck."
