Music Appreciation

I've told this story here before, but what the heck.
I was on business in Frankfurt, Germany staying at the Frankfurter Hof.
Had an engineer from R&D with me and we're walking down the hall to our rooms when a guy passes us with 2 kids.
He says to me "That guy looks familiar " I said "Yeah, that's Frank Zappa."
The next morning, I'm heading to the restaurant and see Frank sitting by himself in the atrium reading the USA Today International.
I went over to say hi & told him "I really like your Shut Up 'n Play Yer Guitar series." He says "You must be a musician. They're the only people that tell me that!" And he chuckled.
He then asks if I've had breakfast and I said "Not yet." He tells me to have a seat.
So, we spent 45 minutes talking music, guitars, and baseball. (Yeah, baseball.) He was also interested in what I did for a living. He kind of lit up when I told him him I was a research chemist.
As I have to leave for a meeting, I get up and grab the check. He says "No, leave it. I've got this."
So Frank Zappa bought me breakfast in Germany. A year or 2 later he died.
Right place; right time.
