a letter from frank - I've been writing songs off and on since '73. One of the first pieces of advice that was given to me was, “write about what you know!” Life would have been so much simpler if I'd just understood that you didn't have to actually, physically test everything just to write a song. But on the plus side, I wouldn't trade anything for some of the experiences, especially; ranching in the Chilcoten, heavy equipment operating & trucking. A lot of those memories and stories are written into my songs; from the cowboy in the cabin to a truckload of horses killed on a winding mountain pass.
