Self Help Radio 091619: A Frank Show

(Most all these Frank, Franklin, & Frankie images from Wikipedia.)

At long last! Finally! Once & for all! The promised show about people named Frank.

Check this: in addition to twenty-nine (29!) songs about Franks - & Frankies & Franklins - there are interviews with four different Franks on this show!  It is a veritable treasure trove of Frankness.  A priceless hoard of Frankitude.  Truly a bonanza of Frankality.  A treasury of Franktion.  There's frankly too much Frank, if you ask me.  But you didn't ask me!  You want to be drowned in as much Frank as possible!

& so it shall be done.  You can listen to the Self Help Radio Frank show at the Self Help Radio website.  You will need a username & a password - neither, alas, are "frank" - it's SHR & selfhelp.  The parade of all things Frank is listed below!

What a good day to be a Frank!
