A. Frank Willis, from Dover, Newfoundland, is known as the
One-Man Band From Newfoundland. He is a virtual legend on
the Canadian east coast music scene and is well recognized
as one of Canada's most uniquely talented and engaging
performers. He launched his one-man show in 1975, and
became an overnight sensation, simultaneously playing
bass pedals with his left foot, chord organ with his right
foot, and a harmonica clamped in a holder, all while his
hands alternated between a guitar and mandolin strapped
in front of him. He frequently pulled the accordion, banjo,
and a kazoo into the performance just for good measure.
