MIAMI NEW TIMES: "Quite the singer songwriter in his own right, the proof of which now can be heard on Suburban Hallucinations... Franklin's full, raspy vocals hi the right emotional buttons." "Suburban Hallucinations is a revelation, exposing the rich, subtle expressiveness in Franklin's warbling.' "[Stir Fried World] is a natural progression from Franklin's worthy debut effort."
BILLBOARD MAGAZINE: "With his introspective lyrics and affecting vocal style, [Franklin} has become a familiar face on the stages of South Florida's rock clubs and coffee houses."
INK 19: "Franklin's delivery is soulful and passionate... Suburban Hallucinations provides the perfect soundtrack for those who are surprised by moments of joy in the darkest of times."
FT. LAUDERDALE SUN SENTINEL: "...Suburban Hallucinations is real good, excellent songwriting, and themes that you would not expect."
XS MAGAZINE: "...a polished, passionate delivery... [Franklin's] voice hits every peak and valley. He unleashes his emotions with poignancy." "[Stir Fried World] succeeds admirably."
THE NEXT FLASH: "Franklin steps into the singer/songwriter spotlight with such blinding clarity it's hard to imagine him doing anything else but this. Franklin's songs are a pure joy to listen to... his somewhat raspy voice a soothing, hypnotic instrument in itself."

So, I just opened my CollegeBoard result letter, and I passed AP Government. I got a three, but nonetheless, I think for someone who elected to skip an entirely critical fourth of the year, I did pretty well. I'm not surprised. Thanks, Franklin.
nice to hear from you! ditto about seattle - any time you wander up here let me know. about to finish album #2 (been saying that for months...but it's true!)
hi man, I'm Dado from Italy. I'm sorry 'cause I did not send you yet the song we were talk about. I'm a little bit busy (I still have to record it) but you and your wonderful Florida are always on my mind. I hope to have news for you as soon as possible!
all the best from
Dado (your guest if you should come to Italy)
