Frank it was sooo many years ago and you were at the Obit Club in GR MI. You let me play your guitar while you hit the strings. You also tried “several” times to send me a guitar pick and I missed them lol. You pointed at me and the crowd spread as they knew it was meant for me - that one I captured! Leaving the concert on my way home I stopped at a rest area (gross) and your guitar pick fell out of my shirt. I guess I caught one after all. So now I have 2 - thank you! You are enormously kind and enormously talented!!
A lot of people are seriously missing out on a Fabulous Awesomesmerizingly Musician. There should be at least a million Subscribers. I cannot believe I am just now discovering Frank? This right here is *King Crimson* but on Franks terms... Man, this is so killer... I'll be checking out tour dates. I'll be there... if you're in and around Dallas/Ft Worth area... I love Tesla... but wow... I'm totally digging this, indeed!!
This is FIRE ! Keep it up, Frankie ! Just saw you rip through I Dont Know with conviction & now you're out in DiMiola & McLaughlin land, ripping it up as well. Fantastic playing ! ...and Love Is Alive is in heavy rotation over here. Thanks .
Ok I've been jamming on Tesla since the Mechanical Resonance and I never knew Frank could play literally EVERYTHING. I want that fire-glo Rickenbacher!!!
Wow that was awesome! Kind of 6/8 jazz / rock feel. Great musicianship. My wife and I met you back stage in I believe it was Myrtle Beach and you sat with us just talking like you’d known us for years. Thank you for that it’s a great memory for both my wife and I. Great human being!
I do the one man band thing as well! Very Sheep influenced! I love it! You are very good, Frank’ We never met, but we are from the same place! It’s all about Pocket area and Folsom! / Sacramento CA!
Excellent work! I do all instruments as well! We’re from the same hood. Pocket area, Folsom, Sacramento. I’ve been a fan since the beginning! Thank you for the music! Inspiring!
Right on brother, right on... a new tune is always welcomed. I see my old Hiwatt in the background, lol. C'est la vie mademoiselle, je espére que vous ľapprécierez. After all these years of being out of the local scene, looks like Kreuger & Contreres are willing to back me in forming a new band very soon. Hope to play on your bill sometime somewhere, I miss the live thing so much that I'm pulling out all the stops (from dry ice to lasers and a horn section from time 2 time). Octopus, love the name and the creature, they are so unique unlike any other animal on earth.
Damn brother! That was a pretty nice piece...would love to hear like an extended version! Just seem to really 'hit the groove', for me, at the ~4min. mark...nice drum work too, needs more! 😝
Just discovered this and I'm really hoping that it's an intentional nod to Pink Floyd's Animals. If so it's even more brilliant than it appears on the surface. And the name of the song on top that would suggest that it's a nod too because, one an octopus is an animal, and two you'd have to be an octopus to be able to play this. Anyway genius is as genius does! 😊
Frank is a One Man Band!! Thanks for Always being so nice to me!! Tesla is My Absolute Favorite Band!! ✌🖤🤘👊

I was born and raised in the Sac area too!

what a cool jam reminds me of a combination of Ozark mountain daredevils & the beginning w sounds like Steely Dan it's a 70's vibe for sure I love it
Wow that was awesome! Kind of 6/8 jazz / rock feel. Great musicianship.
My wife and I met you back stage in I believe it was Myrtle Beach and you sat with us just talking like you’d known us for years. Thank you for that it’s a great memory for both my wife and I. Great human being!
Wow! This harkens back to the most awesome period in rock; I hear Doors, Yes, Rush, Deep Purple, Edgar Winter ...but mostly a whole lotta Frank! 😍

Hey Wolfie say hello to Uncle Frank.
Just discovered this and I'm really hoping that it's an intentional nod to Pink Floyd's Animals. If so it's even more brilliant than it appears on the surface. And the name of the song on top that would suggest that it's a nod too because, one an octopus is an animal, and two you'd have to be an octopus to be able to play this.
