I got to be around Frank in the early 70's in Oklahoma City. I've got some live 1/4" tape with him playing in Bob Wood's band. Bob owned Del City Music, and was a place you could catch Nashville stars running up and down Interstate 40.

Frank was incredible. He played his Fender 1000 through a Twin, and he'd take your head off. West Coast at it's absolute best. I used to say he was Mooney on steroids. He was really a good guitar player as well.

Talked to him on the phone a few years back, and he was nice enough to send me a couple of CD's. He was truly one of the really good players. I'll keep his family in my thoughts and prayers.

I wore the groove off his records, bought them again and wore those ones down pretty good too. He had some of the best footwork & was a real original. He should be mandatory listening for any aspiring Wild West Coast Treblemaker. My condolensces to his family and friends.

I also met Frank in Del City. I went to a few gigs with him. I lost track of him after that and never could catch up to him. He was a neat guy and will be missed!! RIP brother!

Drew, thanks from me too for you posting those tunes from Frank. It was wonderful hearing him play again after all these years. I have a 45rpm record around here somewhere of "Sawed Off Shotgun" I believe...JH in Va.

Frank Arnett could play more like Mooney than any man who ever lived...

I cut"Under Your Spell Again"on Mrs.Hinson about 30 years ago...we had to get Frank to do it because he was the man for the job...

Rest easy,my friend.

Steve
