"A Letter I Just Gotta Write"
To whom it may concern, Gentlemen:
I wish to bring an artist to your attention. His name is Frank Biner. He sings, composes and plays lead guitar. He's good, know what I mean REAL GOOD; funky voice, real presence, charisma, call it what you may, but he's got it, no jive.
I am writing this letter because I'm really interested in Frank's career. He really deserves to be heard. I have recorded with him on my forthcoming Columbia LP. His singing is the highlight of the record. Columbia should pick up on this artist, but if they don't, it's only one of the reasons why I'm writing this letter and Frank is not where he should be, signed, sealed and delivered.
There are many odd and nonsensical barriers that keep an artist, a good artist, from being discovered. I saw Jimi Hendrix, years before he was ever signed and let me tell you, he was a monster then.The same with The Mothers and Johnny Winter... who can fathom the reason that keep an aritsts from getting his due, when he is hungry, scuffling and mostly deserved of his due.
Gentlemen, take heed, I jive you not, Frankie B is the real thang!
Sincerely,
Michael Bloomfield
