That’s a nice compliment. Frank is totally cool. A few years ago I went to a “meet the artists” pre-concert event at the Midwest Gypsy Swing Fest in Madison, WI. For some inexplicable reason I was the only non-artist that showed up and happened to walk into the start of an impromptu jam with Frank, Vinny, Denis and Gonzalo… I was ready to discretely dismiss myself when Frank waves me over to join in - jeez. We all jammed on Swing ’42 and when it came around to my solo I just didn’t want to make a complete *ss of myself. At some point I managed pull off some lick and Frank says “nice!” then catches my eye with a big grin - made my day. Gracious, Frank’s the real deal.
