Frank was mostly a blues/jazz/folk kind of guy, but he was a super versatile musician who played with everybody from The Smithereens ("In a Lonely Place" from Especially For You) to Nanci Griffith (he toured as her lead guitarist for ages).
He also wrote "Where Were You Last Night," which I will go to my own grave insisting is the best song about jealousy ever. Hear him perform it below and be changed.
Damn, but this death shit is really beginning to get on my nerves.

Crap. That is very sad news. He was a fine musician and a helluva nice guy, too.
R.I.P. Frank.
He was a lovely man, and awful funny, too. I never got tired of his sets. I'm so sorry he's gone.
