Happy Birthday Wake Frankfield!

Wishing you a most Happy Birthday Frank... and many more!

One of the most brilliant, creative and "natural" musicians I have ever heard in my life...

Frank showed us all "how the cat got the butter and didn't even grease his lips" ;)

As a recent introductee to the world of Frank, I am really grateful for his music. What an original, and that mando roars!!

Happy birthday Wake!

Thanks for posting this, and a Happy Birthday to Frank. I wasn't familiar with him but checked him out on YouTube, and was thoroughly impressed.

If links don't work, search YouTube for "Frank Wakefield / New Camptown Races". The other mandolin player is Mark Hargis.

I first heard Frank's music back in the mid-60s on some of the Greenbriar Boys recordings and have always been a big fan of his. I'm curious if anyone in the Cafe knows whether there are any recordings and/or video of Frank performing along with Vassar Clements?

Off to the Races, with "Tony putting a hurt on them..."

Happy Birthday Wake Frankfield��

As the man might say, “ I hope your birthday was dismal and awful.” God bless you Frank!
