Not a fail. Frank's thing is "backing talkward", or talking backwards in normal English. Note Frank greets the crowd with Goodbye. It's a Frank thing.

holy shit! he said Wake Frankfield! this would go on the failblog if people actually gave two shits about real music.

This is good, and he actually has a personality, which is as important as Mandolin skills if you're going solo

Anyone else catch that the guy that introduces him calls him Wake Frankfield?

Frank ain't no Chris Thile--but more importantly Chris Thile ain't no Frank Wakefield. There are a lot of different approaches to the instrument, and Wakefield plays a big, bold note that knocks you flat.
