Oddly enough I can't remember hearing much of Frank playing acoustic. But these two certainly seem to be in sync here, for lack of the better word I suspect we need.
one of my beefheart personal favs, 'buggy boogie woogie':
oh that buggy boogie woogie sweeps me off my feet what this world needs is a good retreat what this world needs is a good two dollar room ‘n a good two dollar broom one day i was sweepin’ down by the wall i bumped a mama spider ‘n the babies begin’ to fall off o’ my broom now i gotta keep on sweepin’ ‘n sweepin’ ‘fore they fill the room now that buggy boogie woogie sweeps me off my feet i gotta keep on sweepin’ ‘n sweepin’ seems like i could keep on sweepin’ ‘n sweepin’ ‘n there’s still too many feet what this world needs is a good two dollar room ‘n a good two dollar broom what this world needs is a good two dollar room ‘n a good two dollar broom seems like i could keep on sweepin’ ‘n sweepin’ ‘n there’s still too many feet well the way i must be sweepin’ must be with too many feet ah, ‘n i’ll still keep on sweeping ‘n sweepin’ ‘n there’s still too many feet
He did indeed know how to have fun. Seems to have been a bit naive about business though. I've read quotes from Zappa that Beefheart signed a lot of contracts he shouldn't have.
Had to go back and listen to that one again. I was just about sure that was the one with the broom drumbeat. Beautiful.

I've never really known what to make of Capt. Beefheart's music but he did know how to have a good time. So did Frank and to hell with quibblers.
