A Really Cool Day
Nov 18, 2019

Here in the midst of the Vegas sand dunes, I gathered my thoughts, sat down in front of the computer, and dove into the distant cool waters of FaceBook.
I realize there is supposed to be a theme to a blog, but being that i don't know the rules of the road ( i don't read music either ) i will stumble around until i find a groove.
I have connected to the world in a way that truly amazes me. The "New School " rules the day, and i am much the better for it.
Today is a celibration of love for my wife, and me...We celebrate forty nine years together today. At the close of this year i released the first twelve songs of my new album, and realized the impact that my wife's love has had on me.
She is my muse, my best friend, and a total human being.
These are beautiful times. I only hope that all of the dreamers awaken, and share the love that has driven them forward on their never-ending quest.

The Journey Is The Prize...

Today's Mission
Nov 14, 2019
A Better Addiction
I'm back..Today's musical mission, is to organize the next album.
Those of you that have dreams of any kind understand persistence, head down,
doing something every day toward that goal.
A word from the "old guy".. never listen to the people who might tell you
that your dream is only a daydream, and that it is out of your reach.
When a country boy dreams, grows into a man, and winds up playing with
Frank Zappa, it only proves that maybe they should have dreamed more themselves.
Stay focused, and maybe talk to Sam Ward...a young man i met in London.
He's been invited to play on my next album.. I saw myself in him, and that was enough for me. Let's see where all of this goes, giving back is the first layer of our foundations...Peace to you all, and remember...The Journey Is The Prize. Ray

Richie Brings Me Into The Future
 
Well boys and girls, i have arrived into the cyberspace future.
When certain people come into your life, and bring nothing but light, life
takes on new meanings.
Richie Gregory is one of those people in my life.
Going above, and beyond the call of duty, he has given me a gift that i will never forget. I am now on the page, and i hope that we all can pass along good vibes
one to another. Welcome to my world, at least my small contribution to it.

Ray White interview with IdiotBastard.com
FRANK TALK SOME MORE - RAY WHITE!

I have long wanted to interview Ray White, but the opportunity never seemed to arise - even though I had chatted briefly with him when he played London (with ZPZ and Project Object) and at Zappanale.
It transpires that Sam Ward of Treacherous Cretins has been in regular touch with him of late, and he finally paved the way for me.
Ray was only too pleased to have a natter, initially replying "You know, I had no idea of who people saw on that stage, or heard on those albums...my name is daddy or poppa to my kids and grandchildren...but here I am, typing away. As Thing-Fish said, "I'se very verbose!""
