I met Frank Black in the back of a Dallas club on the cult of ray tour and he offered me a carona beer, I respectfully declined. He was a wonderful nice person and I was delighted to casually speak with him because he has greatly affected my own art. I hope to one day take him up on the original offer. Last time I saw that Frank was to pass through Dallas, he was to be at "good records". When I went to see him there, a sign on the door read " Frank Black apperance canceled due to illness in family." I remember thinking to myself that I hoped that everything would be ok for his family.
I wonder what frank thought about the recording I gave him when I met him. on that recording I covered bird dream of the olympus mons, on my four track recorder. I was so happy to be able to give back to frank what he gave me. I will never forget how inspired I was to just have a casual conversation with him and thank him for inspiring me.
