Introducing Sri Frank Maiello

[Guest guest]

Hi Harsha-ji and Frank-ji,

 

Let me add to your enthusiastic accolades for Frankji! You quote from his

bio in HS Magazine. Actually, there was more to the bio, but as editor, I

had edited a bit from the whole piece. I'm putting it back in. Frank-ji

had also written the following for the magazine's bio page, which I've just

submitted to webmaster David Hodges to append:

 

MY FATHER'S PLACE, Roslyn NY, Nov'76 (backstage): Renowned blues

singer John Hammond, meeting me for the first time and evidently

intrigued by my performance, turned to me and said, "Who are *you*?"

I replied, smiling, "I don't know...who's *anyone*?"

 

Love,

 

--Greg
