We missed you Jaybro.
Here is Frank and the lovely Juliana
Pounding the keys! That was a real treat.
Frank, then and now...
and talking about the reservation.
It was an enchanting evening. Frank is charming, entertaining, and has a big heart filled with love. Looking forward to my first Encounter at Devils Tower.

Wish I could have made it, yesterday's emergency IEP meeting @ 4:30 seriously threw a damper on that deal, and it was already damp enough, yesterday.
Might have sometthing cooking for the Tax day Riverside show, though.
Told this story before, but. Once upon time Frank, Myself and wife Michele left the valley after midnight, (might have only been 10:30 or so) Hell bent for his sweetie's pad in Davis, in his van with maybe enough gas to get to Moccasin. Frank pulls off at a speak easy in Groveland or somewhere, almost waking us up in the back. A little while later I really was woken up when Frank started up Maurice and followed a pickup truck to a closed gas station. Guy in truck turns on the pumps, we tank up and hit the road.
turns out Frank had gone into the bar and started playing some song on the piano, some older gent, asks him a few questions, and pretty soon they're playing duets on the ivories. Frank gives the pillar of the community his story of not being able to get to his true love, due to rationing fuel fumes. Old guy pulls some strings and gets some one (his son?) to go turn on the pumps.
We arrive in Davis in the wee hours to a full-on stir-fry extravaganza.
It's always an adventure with Frank!

No Colorado Show
What’s up with this sh#t?
You think they never climbed in Colorado.
Any one of the three or all three would pack the house(s).

Book it, and he will come. Give him a shout, e-mail is probably best right now as he's traveling. This has all come together rather quickly and Juliana is making it happen.

Jerry speaks truth. Colorado his way closer than a bunch of these gigs, for him.
Just for the record, Frank and Mr Sims, (before he made his fortune marketing his name for those cards that cell phones accept from each other as their owners upgrade) fought off pterodactyls on theirr ascent of the shoenard / sherbet, back in the murky past.

I was seeing if I could get any interest going here.
The Kor show sold out in a day and was moved to a much larger venue as well. They could have done another show or larger still.
See you in Vedauwoo any hoo
Be well

Rich, Sooooo good to hear from You -- sounds like You are The Man to get in contact with. Of this 6 week tour, we've done the first three shows (in as many days). Each night has been Thankfully, PACKED full of folks!! This presentation has proven to be Way Fun, as it has a couple, short video sections, as well as a couple sections of Photographic Wizardey (from Michael Clark and Keith Ladzinski), all set to (You guessed it) piano music. The schedule puts us in Deluth, MN the night of April 3 for a show (schedule posted); next scheduled show is UC Irvine in California April 14. This leaves a wonderful open week+. Please help us fill the empty spaces with shows in Colorado. You are the ONE to do this Rich -- thank You for jumping on the grenade; Jerry led the way. Sending You our "Press Kit", with Poster, Press Release/PSA, etc,etc to Ya other e-mail. OH, THANK YOU RICH SIMMS!!!!!
