Biography:

Afer leaving Randy Bachman's band, Frank put together a band which initially included Dave Johnson on drums but later, John Cody, Rick Enns on bass, Mike Rhealt on keyboards, and Scotty Hall on guitar. Scotty went on to play with "Idle Eyes" It is this band who are on 4 tracks of "It's About Time." The songs were recorded at Water St. Sound as part of their recording engineering classes (so it was free). The songs were essentially "live off the floor" and I decided to include them as a capsule in time, especially when I discovered that Scotti had recently passed away after a battle with cancer. The band opened for Steppenwolf at the Commodore and I still remember owner Drew Burns saying how great they were. Unfortunately, without a recording contract there weren't enough venues to keep us going without solid representation and the band voted to fold rather than see the energy watered down by playing the club scene where we were under pressure to do more covers. On the new cd, piano parts have been replaced and some overdubs added but most tracks are original.
