my kid bought the 2 dvd 3cd package that only cost 30 bucks- the same
price as a T shirt!
The show was outstanding, the weather was great, almost warm, the rain
held off till the ride home, the band was tight and relaxed at the
same time, total fun. Plus, Eric Johnson came up and jammed for quite
a nice bit or three- Ben Thomas was outstanding. Nanook! Apostrophe!
Carolina Hard Core! Purple Lagoon and Pound for a Brown! Well worth
the drive.

RDNZL, Keep It Greasy, and The Mammy Anthem were great, too.

BTW, Dweezil finally explained RDNZL. It's a word of Frank's creation
that marries "redundant" with "Rapunzel". Apparently, Gail has this
way of speaking repetatively about things that Frank found amusing.
So, he dubbed this speech (or Gail herself) Redunzel.

He didn't explain why Frank removed the vowels, but as someone who
derived his internet handle from a reverse misspelling of "cold
pizza", who am I to judge?

Hah! I knew I heard Rapunzel in there!

My theory had always been that it was a combo of "redone" and
"Rapunzel," assuming it was a piece he'd rewritten once or twice.

Close but no ceegar ...

Hah! I knew I heard Rapunzel in there!

Good to know as I always "connected" it with Rapunzel. I even played
RDNZL audio with the Ray Harryhausen puppet-toon Rapunzel short. Very
Bickford-ish without stuff melting/morphng into discos or castles but
very cool!

thanz,
Y.W.
