Michael with Flora
A Note from Michael

October 21, 2011

Hi Everyone,

We’ve enjoyed seeing so many of you out on the Road this summer and I’ve been posting video clips of our audiences from time to time on Facebook. Thanks for your support of the new record, Time Together. It’s been very gratifying to hear onstage your requests for several of the new tunes. (We added “Mice” to the line-up right away).

This year’s touring schedule is winding down. I gave a benefit concert in Tarrytown, N.Y. on November 4th (my only New York area appearance this year) to raise money for our local animal shelter up here, the Ulster County SPCA. Time Together CD 2011 We also sold vintage T-shirts, mugs, books, and CDs, with all the proceeds donated to the shelter. Claudia became a regular volunteer there after Flora passed away and I try to help out whenever I can. (It’s a dangerous proposition for animal lovers though: our cat count at home has increased to six!) After the hurricane and subsequent flooding we experienced here in the Woodstock area our shelter really needs to replenish its emergency funds, so I invite and encourage any of you in the area to attend the concert.

I invited two old friends and accomplices to join us for the gig, bassist Mark Egan and percussionist Manolo Badrena. We had a great time performing with these two MF Band veterans again!

We’re looking forward to seeing you in Alexandria, Annapolis, and Niagara Falls later in the month.

Until then
Wishing all of you
Health, Prosperity, Happiness, Peace
Signed, Michael Franks
