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.

Hanover native publishes children's book inspired by act of kindness

A South Shore native wrote his first children's book, hoping to share a message of kindness and compassion to young children and their families. Arthur Russell Smith , who grew up in Hanover and is a 1997 Hanover High School graduate, published his book, "The Robe Squad: A Charlestown Tail" on Oct. 6. The book, which is for children ages 2-6, tells the story of Artie, his bathrobe-wearing dog, Gizmo, and a shivering mouse they rescue during a walk through Charlestown. Smith will bring his book to the South Shore for a reading and book signing on Saturday, Nov. 7, at 1 p.m. at Storybook Cove, 775 Washington St. Suite 2, in Hanover. Hardcover and paperback copies of the book are available through Amazon and Barnes and Noble . Smith said he hopes the heartwarming tale teaches children the power of empathy, the joy of welcoming others and how even the smallest act of kindness can make a giant difference. "I think about how important that is for everybody but in the world today and kind of how everything's continuing to evolve, it's a loud and messy world and I thought with this book can I just deliver a simple
