Frank Zappa has this to say:

'Let's Make the Water Turn Black' was a true story about two brothers, Ronnie and Kenny Williams - a couple of musicians I knew in 1962 during the early Paul Buff/Pal Records era (it was Ronnie who introduced me to Paul). It is difficult to describe these guys, their family and their 'hobbies' - so much of it will sound like fiction - however, let me assure you that this has all been documented on tape, in their own words.
