Frank Marino The Answer Extract from DVD

[@billyclampable]

Frank is an unsung hero. Witnessed in '76.

[@adrianalvarez8865]

Awesome, I saw him too in 76 Bicentennial Bash, July 4th 1976 Ted Nugent, Foghat, and Frank Marino. Ted was the Headliner, Marino stole the show!

[@Awsom47Merc]

​@@adrianalvarez8865I saw him at Michigan Palace in 75. Battle of the Axemen. Frank vs Nugent (The Reverend Atrocious Theodocious). While it's comparing apples to oranges I believe Frank Smoked Teddy that night. Especially from a Sonic Perspective. 🎸👊😎👍🎸

I've been a dedicated fan for 45 years, and I can honestly say that I NEVER tire of his music. Met him once in front of the Uptown Theatre on February 23, 1983 in Kansas City. He was incredibly down to earth and appreciative of his fans. Frank, if you ever happen to read this I just want to say THANK YOU for a lifetime of wonderful music! God Bless you sir.

[@paulquintin3607]

I am with you! First heard Frank and Mahogany Rush during my college radio days. When Child of the Novelty showed up at the station, I was instantly hooked, and made it a part of my weekly radio show. This video is amazing, he still sounded great and his playing was still top notch. Too bad about the shoulder injury that has robbed us of this man's genius.

[@bbigd0]

It varies from song to song. Some are fiendishly difficult, others easy. It is a matter of many years of playing and singing. Sometimes you just need to put the playing on auto-play. I just saw an old Johnny Winter video in which the Bass Player played pretty decent harmonica while really pumping out the bass. His playing became simpler when he blew that harp, but man was he good at both at the same time. Never before have I seen that.

[@WarrenSt.James_Guitarist]

Best way to practice it is in a full mirror..it allows your eyes to see your hands..it's a visual cue...if you sing at the same time..it keeps the two connected ..because your brain is no longer searching for the visual cue...like the old video games...you knew bald bull was gonna throw a punch because his eyes turned red..like telegraphing kinda..only in this case..its right in front of you.it stops the fight between both sides of your brain as the cue is constantly visible..TRY IT!...it works...it removes the non verbal wall keeping both sides of your brain from working together instead of fighting each other... It usually becomes more or less seamless after a month or two...try humming the lyrics first.... Just try it...all of a sudden..you'll see...you will quit turning your head trying to see what your hand is doing..as the other side of your brain will store the visual cues...then it just becomes automatic.. WITHOUT having the mirror..pro tip from planetp_4u2c
