  • LOVE IT !!! Dude.
    How I miss Frank.
    I was very , very Blessed to have known Frank and most of the different band members he had though the years . And, my Dream sence I was a kid was to one day Walk through Frank's door of his Studio.
    Not only did that dream come true.
    But , I ended up working on his mobile truck with Mark Pinsky. And , worked with many of his band members.
    Thanks for sharing this.
    It takes me back to the Best part of my life.
    Thank you so much.

  • Frank once again demonstrating how magnificent he is as a guitar player. For me, there is no one like him. His solos are from some other place.

  • Good selection, but I personally would have made room for more lo-fi stuff, to really get the best solos.
