Frank joined us on keyboards and trumpet this past Friday at the Grand Stafford Theater in Bryan and did a GREAT job.

                                                                                                Thanks to Greg Fugate, we have footage from the show as well. Greg has also posted a lot of it in the Official Blaggards Facebook Group if you want to go watch more of it there.
