I try not to sound like
anyone.I’d prefer to be known as me.
Originally from New England, Frank
transported to the Carolinas in 2002.He is a self-taught musician who plays a
combination of Folk and Filk music. He has been writing and performing at Science
Fiction Conventions, House Filks and open mics as FilkFerret since 1998 though he has been fiddling with music since the ‘great trombone
disaster’ many years (and that is many) ago in third grade.
He has several awards in the filk
community and has been a finalist 2 years in a row for songs composed for the
Mars Society's Rouget d' Lisle contest for songs celebrating the cause of the
human exploration and settlement of space. These were ‘The Green Hills of
Terra’ and ‘Spreading Our Wings’ (co authored with Utah Filker
Dawnya Thill). His signature song ‘Take it One Step and One day at a Time’
shared first place at Conterpoint 3 in 2000 for best serious filk and ‘Inherit
the Heavens’ took third place at the Ohio Valley Filk Festival OVFF in 2002 for
the theme ‘for our children’.
In 2005 he had the opportunity to perform at and host an open mic
night in the Columbia, SC area. The
goal was to promote and supply a venue where entertainers, no matter what their
level, were welcomed and made to feel at home, helping to build confidence and
hone their skills.Frank has since
married and moved to Charlotte, NC where he is
looking for a coffee house to continue his love of open mics.
As FilkFerret, his major purpose in life (musically) is to spread
the genre' Filk (like the seeds of a dandelion). For a long time Frank had no
genre' for his music. Today he knows he has been and always will be a Filker,
no matter what other music he or listens to or plays.
“And the wind said: 'May you be as strong as the oak, yet flexible as the birch; may you stand tall as the Redwood, live gracefully as the willow; and may you always bear fruit all your days on this earth.'”
