BALTIMORE � The unveiling of a statue honoring Frank Zappa in his hometown of Baltimore will feature a week of events including a concert by his son, Dweezil.
The statue was donated by fans in Lithuania, a country Zappa never visited but one where his music was popular among the avant garde. The statue is a replica of one erected by a fan club in the Lithuanian capital.
Baltimore's public arts commission considered multiple locations, including the bohemian Fells Point waterfront, before deciding on the Southeast Anchor Library in working-class Highlandtown, a neighborhood well known for its many Greek restaurants.
Zappa's widow will also host a symposium and the library will have an exhibit in conjunction with the Sept. 19 dedication.

	The event will take place on the day after the Magma concert here in DC... Too many good things at the same time! Rush will also be playing on Sept 19.
