Song Review by François Couture

opening On A Round Double Bass Line, 'little Umbrellas,' A Delicate Medium-Tempo Instrumental Piece By Frank Zappa, Failed To Make A Lasting Impression. Released On The 1969 Lp Hot Rats, It Was Eclipsed By Stronger Pieces Like 'peaches En Regalia' And 'willie The Pimp.' Nicely Arranged With Piano, Clarinet, And Even A Recorder Part, It Has A Naïve Quality To It That Will Be Better Expressed In 'twenty Small Cigars' On The Album Chunga's Revenge. 'little Umbrellas' Was Released As The B-Side To The 1970 Bizarre Single Of 'peaches En Regalia.' It Seems It Was Never Performed Live And Was Put To Rest Immediately After Its Inclusion On Hot Rats.
