Frank, as far as I have experienced is one of the most honest, down to earth people I have ever met. He also works and has worked very hard to be a tremendous mandolin player. On top of that, he is quite eccentric. In my opinion, the complete package. When I first met Frank in 2003 I was not a big fan of his live band. The band he is playing with now is tremendous and is made up of local upstate New York guys.

Come to think of it, I have never heard Frank say something mean about somebody I asked about from Red Allen to Sticky Raggs. He may say things like, "he drinks/drank a lot" about an old friend, but on top of that he will tell you ten reasons why he likes the guy.

Also, after a few lessons with Frank I definitely couldn't "mutt the custard" but Frank invited a friend and I up on stage with him and took the time to work out stuff with us to fit into the show! Not every bluegrass star will do that.

For some really great Frank check out "Don't Lie to Me" the Greenbriar Boys "Better Late than Never" and Frank Wakefield and the Good Ole Boys "Pistol Packin' Mama"
