15 Feet Tall By A Frank Willis

Video By James R. Yetman: http://newfoundlandtreasures.com

A.Frank Willis, the "One-Man Band from Newfoundland", is a virtual legend on the Canadian east coast music scene. This "little feller from Dover" is arguably one of Canada's most uniquely talented and engaging performers. A.Frank, as he is affectionately known, launched his one-man show in 1975 and became an overnight sensation. Fans marvelled as they watched him simultaneously play bass pedals with his left foot, chord organ with his right foot, and the harmonica (clamped in a holder)... all while his hands alternated between the guitar and mandolin strapped in front of him. He frequently pulled the accordion, banjo, and kazoo into the performance just for good measure! During performances, he integrated a variety of musical styles including traditional, country, pop, rock-and-roll, and everything in between. This diversity, combined with such rare abilities, garnered jam-packed audiences of young and old alike. The title of his 1976 debut album, Any Kind Of Music, says it all.
