The Black Page Drum Solo/Black Page Number 1 Lyrics
All right now, watch this. Let me tell you about this song. This song was originally constructed as a drum solo. That's right. Now, after Terry learned how to play The Black Page on the drum set, I figured, well, maybe it would be good for other instruments. So I wrote a melody that went along with the drum solo. And that turned into The Black Page part 1, the hard version. Then I said, well, what about the other people in the world, who might enjoy the melody of The Black Page, but couldn't really approach its statistical density in its basic form. So, I went to work and constructed a little diddy which is now being set up for you at this little disco type vamp. This is The Black Page part 2, the easy teenage New York version. Get down with your bad selves so to speak to The Black Page part 2.
Thank you.

"The Black Page" is song famous for being terribly hard to play. At first composed for the drum kit,melodic percussion and features extensive tuplets, polyrhythms, nested polyrhythms, and polymeters. Terry Bozzio figured out and mastered the piece around two weeks after Zappa introduced it to him. .....http://frankzapppa.blogspot.com/2014/02/the-black-page-with-bozzio-on-drums.html
