[00:00:00] The Mudshark Interview - Frank Zappa

[00:00:01] What's your name

[00:00:01] I'm Martin Tickman

[00:00:02] And what is your position here

[00:00:04] Front office manager

[00:00:05] The name of this stablishment is

[00:00:06] This is the Edgewater Inn

[00:00:08] In Seattle Washington

[00:00:09] Can you tell me

[00:00:11] Uh how some rock'n'roll groups have taken advantage of this unique situation

[00:00:15] They've taken advantage in different ways

[00:00:18] And we do encourage

[00:00:19] Uh and advertise that you can fish from your room and we are glad to have our guests fish from 'em

[00:00:25] Do you supply them with fishing equipment

[00:00:28] No but we have a shop in the hotel that does rent the equipment as well as bait

[00:00:32] What sort of bait do they usually use

[00:00:35] Uh it's a preserved minnow of some variety

[00:00:40] I don't know exactly what the fish is

[00:00:43] Well what do they do after they fish from the window

[00:00:45] Well rock'n'roll bands and other guests as well often catch shark and squid and octopus and usually we

[00:00:49] It lands up either in the bath tub or dribbled on the floor on the way to the bath tub

[00:00:55] Mm-mmh

[00:00:56] But it's not reserved to uh to any rock'n'roll bands I mean other guests do it too

[00:01:05] Mm-mmh but how frequently do you find squids and sharks and octopuses in the bath tubs of the rooms here at the hotel

[00:01:12] After almost any good weekend of pretty heavy occupancy

[00:01:14] Say like over half the house filled

[00:01:16] If you have over the

[00:01:18] Way way

[00:01:18] Over half house filled you'd find one say

[00:01:21] Yeah say one or something like that

[00:01:23] So how often would you say that is each week

[00:01:25] Twice a week you'd find a

[00:01:27] Well I would I don't know that I would say that it would average to anything like that

[00:01:33] You may find on four or five rooms with fish from various places

[00:01:36] Ou know around

[00:01:38] But there's not much you can do with the shark after you've caught him

[00:01:41] You know some of these things are pretty big

[00:01:43] What would you imagine is done with these

[00:01:44] Uh sharks after they've been caught before they are left

[00:01:48] Uh for you to be cleaned up

[00:01:49] Sometimes the guest calls the houseman or housekeeper to haul

[00:01:52] It away because there's nothing that they can do with it

[00:01:56] Yeah well

[00:01:57] Have you ever heard of any other things that were done with them before they were hauled away

[00:02:01] Yes a lot of

[00:02:03] Some people like to uh perform vivisection on 'em

[00:02:06] Or something like that

[00:02:07] Occasionally you find that little bit of mess

[00:02:09] FZ: Yeah

[00:02:09] I'll say that the the

[00:02:11] The "blood on the carpet" syndrome is rather eh

[00:02:14] Rather rare but it did occasionally happen

[00:02:17] Do you ever find fish blood on the sheets of your beds here
