Home of the Week: This 1966 deck house in Sudbury for $1.15m is a nature oasis

This four-bedroom home is a perfect example of why pre-fab deck houses were popular in leafy suburbs. Driveways are utilitarian constructs.

Concert Preview: Dweezil Zappa Carries the Torch for His Father

Celebrating 20 years of keeping Frank Zappa’s complex music alive, Dweezil brings the DZ20: Like Father, Like Son Tour to Medford’s Chevalier Theatre. Musical iconoclast Frank Zappa died in 1993. Thirteen years later, his son Dweezil, fearful that his father’s audience—a Boomer blend of sophisticates and stoners—was dying out, took the reins in assembling a band to play the elder Zappa’s extraordinary repertoire. Though Frank left us at the tender age of 52, he was a prolific composer of unusual, if not impossible, breadth and complexity. Partly because of that—and partly because of the salty language he was known for—radio has generally stayed away from his music, except for rare novelty pieces such as “Don’t Eat the Yellow Snow,” “Dancin’ Fool,” and “Valley Girl.” In 2006, Dweezil, wielding the optimal mix of genetic makeup and musical talent, took on this considerable challenge.
