Frank & Friends Show 0029

Frank shows Kathryn an alligator head that he bought in New Orleans. He was supposed to show it on the Mardi Gras episode. 

All three performances of Marble City Opera’s “I Can’t Breathe” were sold out. Librettist Brandon Gibson watched on Zoom. Kathryn held the iPad with Brandon on Zoom as the audience arrived on opening night. 

Frank organized a group of former Front Page Follies cast members to sing at the Matt Hinkin Tribute Party, which was a fundraiser for PJ Parkinson’s Support Group. Frank got calls about the requirements for the opening act and the video presentation. 

At the last minute, Kathryn had to make new lodging arrangements for one of the singers in her opera. The new hotel smelled like smoke, which required another change. The booking service’s computer system was down, which complicated matters. 

Frank took a screen grab of himself getting ashes at church during Mass on Ash Wednesday. Frank and his wife Jere cleaned flecks of ash off each other’s noses. After Mass, they went to a luncheon in the parish hall. 

Catholics abstain from meat but are allowed to eat fish on Ash Wednesday and on Fridays during Lent. Many fast-food restaurants sell fish sandwiches during March. One restaurant has introduced a spicy fish sandwich. 

Frank and Kathryn will speak on stage during the Knoxville Man Show at 4:30 p.m. on Friday, March 4, 2021 inside the Jacob Building at Chilhowee Park. Get the full schedule here: https://www.wate6events.com/the-knoxville-manshow 

In episode 0028, Frank described taking a screen grab of himself at a friend’s funeral. Frank sent the link for episode 0028 to the widower of the deceased. He plans to have lunch with the man on Monday. 

Kathryn was once told she didn’t look good in blue but she regularly wears blue anyway. Frank was told that blue makes his eyes pop. He met a woman at WUTK radio who noticed his eyes. She was in her late 20s and listened to Frank when she was in middle school.
