I'd love to be there but I'll have to wait until the Mystic Sea Music Festival to buy him a round. Cheerily, Charley Noble |

Frank has always been an inspiration, a voice of encouragement, and a teacher of new generations - at the same time maintaining his own integrity and uniqueness. I've been proud to have been, and to continue to be his friend for more than 40 years. John |

I remember happy days singing with him at the Eagle Tavern, NY, in the sessions run so ably by Dan Milner. It's a bit too far away for me to make it to the tributet, will somebody please give him my regards. Have a great night. |
