 One of my sales reps. He's 68. He retired twice. Had to go back to work for some family problems. On the side he's in a 60's band that just about almost made it....Dick Clark screwed them over...but that had a run at it...played Vegas opening for a very young Wayne Newton....Great stories. They still play around Philly....The PlayBoyz...if you ever get to see them, do. Frankie C. can really wail on his sax!

at first i hated it, and i'm sure frankie would too, but oddly the more i stare, the more this composition grows on me. very well lit and focused...hmmmm. that green blob counter balancing the collar and the whisp of hair over his bald spot is quite interesting

This is kind of disconcerting. What do we know about Frankie? He's got some kind of scratch or something in his thumb. Also, he is not very young, wears glasses and his hair is failing. He likes shirts. But, what the heck is that he is holding in his head/ear?
