Dinosaurdays - Frank Marino

Frank Marino - . "From the Hip"? Oh, sorry, almost forgot - got so excited and carried away at the prospect of a new album, (I mean, it's only been ten or so years since the last one, Frank. Don't overdo it or strain yourself! ), that I forgot to tell you that "From the Hip" featured brother Vince on rhythm guitar, drummer Timm Biery and bassist Peter Dowse. All tracks were published by Par Excellence Music, which is probably the best description of this legendary guitarist's music and style.
