Frank & Friends Show 0026

Kathryn tells Frank that complaints are for Wednesdays. She tells those working on her opera productions that they can only complain during a one-hour window on Wednesdays and they must be available to hear her response. 

In-person tickets are sold-out for Marble City Opera’s next production. Streaming video tickets are available at https://www.marblecityopera.com/tickets 

Several former Front Page Follies cast members will sing at the Matt Hinkin Tribute Party on Thursday, February 24 at The Press Room, 730 N. Broadway in Knoxville. Tickets are available at https://www.pjparkinsons.org/events-1/matt-hinkin-tribute-party 

Complaint Wednesday reminds Frank of working at the Wolf Trap Farm Park box office. Customers who had a complaint were told to contact “Mrs. Friday,” who was not a real person. The name was a red flag for the staff to know how to handle the complaint and for one of the managers to play the part of “Mrs. Friday.” 

Talk of complaints prompts Kathryn to open a bottle of hibiscus-flavored cider that they received when recording a show at Tennessee Cider Company. A crew is working on the walls at Frank’s house, creating occasional loud noises. 

Frank wants Kathryn to require her singers and board members to subscribe to the Frank & Friends Show on YouTube. Frank put Kathryn in touch with a violinist but the violinist was unavailable for the next production. 

Frank got his dental hygienist to subscribe to our YouTube channel while she was cleaning his teeth. He got a few more subscribers who came to see Dr. Bill Bass on Valentine’s Day at Cherokee Caverns. A mom and daughter named Shani and Hannah said they missed Frank from his top-40 radio days and that they would subscribe to the YouTube channel. 

Kathryn wonders what would make her feel more like a grown-up. She doesn’t cook many meals. Frank thinks that the life events that make you feel like a grown-up are the birth of a child and the death of a parent. 

East Tennessee PBS has put the first five episodes of “Up Close with Frank Murphy” on the PBS Passport app. The sixth episode airs tonight (actually Wednesday, February 23) at 12:30 a.m. Frank had to recut the intro to tonight’s show, which meant he had to trim his beard and match the wardrobe.
