Frank McDaniel doing his thing. (CC Bissett photo)
Frank McDaniel is one of the most talented and innovative musicians I know. In fact, he was the inspiration for me starting this column about the local music scene. During the early days of Covid-19, Musicians had very few places to perform. Many struggled financially and emotionally. Frank's need to play his music led to a live stream video from his home. He was giving it his all... Being a huge fan of Frank's band Badtude I was sorely missing the live performances too. Thus the start of Out and About, a column to let people and musicians know who and where live music was being played.
So when he announced this week that he would be moving back to Florida and said "I know some of you will not be happy with this decision but it's for the best." I am one of the some...
Hang tough Frank, I am going to miss you, and your lovely wife, when you go.... thank You for all you have done for the local music scene. CC
