Turned out that Frankie was the drummer (Wally Gator's band, for the locals reading this). Frankie and I alternated on drums and percussion, and it was one serious jam! Great drummer, great guy, and a terrible loss. RIP Frankie my friend.

I really liked when he was with the ABB. With him and Butch on drums it was amazing. Like a freight train with two engines. He will be sorely missed in the drumming world.

Thanks, Wade, for allowing us to "attend" his memorial. I saw the Toler brothers many years ago in Rochester, NY, with Dicky Betts and Great Southern. What a terrific show that was!
